Last year, a young woman sued film star/director, Mr. Wensley, for parental support of her illegitimate child. Mr. Wensley’s blood type was already on record as type AB. The mother of the child had type A and her son had type O blood.
a.1. Complete a Punnett square for the possible cross of Mr. Wensley and the mother of the baby.
a.2. The judge ruled in favor of the mother and ordered Mr. Wensley to pay child support costs of the child. Was the judge correct in his decision based on blood typing evidence? Explain why or why not.
Show any Punnett squares to support your answer.
interpret using the punnett square below to both sets of parents (Parents A , Parents B, & Parents C).based on your results of filling in the boxes. What are the chances Parents A, Parents B, and Parents C will have a child with Sickle Cell? What are the chances the child will be a carrier for Sickle Cell?
