In a paternity case a single mother claimed that a certain man was the father of her baby. The man denied it claiming that her current boyfriend was the father. The court ordered a blood test (cheaper than dna testing) to see if he could be ruled out as the father. The mother is type O and the baby was type O the man was type AB. What is the possible genotype of the biological father? A. Heterozygous Type A B. Homozygous Type A C. Heterozygous Type B

A woman with type A blood and a man with type B blood have a child with type O blood. Can this man be the father? Choose the best answer below: a No, he can not be the father because A and B are codominant b No, he cannot be the father because type O blood is recessive c Yes, he can be the father if both parents are carriers for type O blood d Yes, he can be the father if the blood type is X-linked on the maternal side
In 1967, a couple accused a hospital of switching their baby with another. DNA interpretation did not exist at this time so the hospital traced the blood types of the family in order to determine if a mistake was made. The mother had Type A blood, the father had Type AB blood, and the baby had Type O blood. Use the Punnett square to defend your answer to the following question: Did the hospital make a mistake and switch the baby? ____________
Two couples had babies in the same hospital at the same time. Michael and Danielle had twins, a boy, Michael, Jr., and a girl Michelle. Denise and Earnest had a girl, Tonja. Danielle was convinced that there had been a mix-up and she had the wrong girl, since Michael Jr. and Tonja were both light-skinned, while Michelle had darker skin. Danielle insisted on blood type tests for both families to check whether there had been a mix-up. Evaluate whether Earnest and Denise's baby girl was switched with Michael and Danielle's baby girl. The family trees in the image attached show the blood types for each person in both families.
