A hospital in Vienna noted that many of their female patients were dying of “childbed fever” after they had given birth in the hospital. The rates of this fever were much higher in the hospital than they were for women who had given birth at a different clinic. In fact, 10% of the women at the hospital contracted fever compared to 4% at the clinic. Ignatz Semmelweis was a doctor at the clinic and he felt that the fever was being transmitted on the hands of doctors when they went from the morgue to examine women. He asked the doctors to wash their hands and the number of cases of “childbed fever” were reduced. He also noted that a doctor contracted the same fever after he cut himself with a scalpel that had been used on an autopsy.
Semmelweis concluded that the fever was caused by some element that could be transferred from person to person.

Spherocytosis is an inherited blood disease in which the erythrocytes (red blood cells) are spherical instead of biconcave. this condition is inherited in a dominant fashion, with sph- dominant to sph+. in people with spherocytosis, the spleen "reads" the spherical red blood cells as defective, and it removes them from the bloodstream, leading to anemia. the spleen in different people removes the spherical erythrocytes with different efficiencies. some people with spherical erythrocytes suffer severe anemia and some mild anemia, yet others have spleens that function so poorly there are no symptoms of anemia at all. when 2400 people with the genotype sph- sph+ were examined, it was found that 2250 had anemia of varying severity, but 150 had no symptoms. does this description of people with spherocytosis represent incomplete penetrance, variable expressivity, or both? explain your answer.
