  • question_answer
    Direction: Each of these questions contains two statements
    Assertion [A] and Reason [R]. Each of these questions also has four alternative choices, any one of which is the correct answer. You have to select one of the codes [a], [b], [c] and [d] given below.
    Assertion [A] A woman can go to the court if a man refuses to own his child. He has blood group B and woman has A, while child has O.
    Reason [R] Genetically she is right, he can be father of the child.
     

    A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

    B) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

    C) A is true, but R is false

    D) A is false, but R is true

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. Man has blood group B, it means he will have alleles \[{{I}^{B}}{{I}^{B}}\] or \[{{I}^{B}}{{I}^{O}}\] and woman has blood group A, that can have alleles \[{{I}^{A}}{{I}^{A}}\] or \[{{I}^{A}}{{I}^{O}}\]. So, there is possibility of a producing child with blood group O. In such condition, both man and woman are heterozygotes and have blood group genotype \[{{I}^{B}}{{I}^{O}}\] and \[{{I}^{A}}{{I}^{O}}\]., respectively.
