Mr. and Mrs. Smith are concerned because their own blood types are A and B, respectively, but their new son, Richard, is blood type O. Could Richard be the child of these parents?
The ABO blood system has been used to settle cases of disputed paternity. Suppose, as a geneticist, you must testify during a case in which the mother has type A blood, the child has type O blood, and the alleged father has type B blood. How would you respond to the following statements? a. Mans attorney: The mother has type A blood, so the childs type O blood must have come from the father. Because my client has type B blood, he could not be the father. b. Mothers attorney: Further tests prove this man is heterozygous, so he must be the father.
A mother is blood type A, and her baby is blood type O. One man that is suspected of being the father is blood type AB. Could he be the father? Explain why or why not.
Jill has a son named Jack. She claims that James is the father. James denies this. Jill has Type A blood. Jack has Type O blood. James has Type B blood. Based on this information, what would a court decide on this problem? Question 3 options: James could be the father of Jack because James could be heterozygous James is not the father of Jack because their phenotypes are different James is not the father of Jack because their genotypes are different James could be the father of Jack because type B blood is usually I^Bi James is the father of Jack because he passed on a recessive allele
A couple with the following blood types: the man has type AB and the woman has type B, discover their child has type O blood. Is it possible that one of these ‘parents’ may not actually be the genetic parent of this child? If so, which one, and how do you know?

A woman has a daughter. There are three men whom she claims might have been the father of the child. Her blood type is A,her child's is B. She has three candidates for fatherhood. Their blood types are Man#1, B,Man#2, AB, Man#3, O. Based on blood types the mother claims that this proves that Man#1 must be the little girl's father. Is the mother correct? Why or why not?
A woman with blood type B has a child with blood type O. Her husband, whose blood type is A is concerned that the child may not be his. Based on what you learned from the inheritance of the ABO blood group system, what conclusions would you make? (Assume that both parents and the child normally produce the H-substance). The husband should not be concerned because the A and B blood types from the parents cancel each other in the child to produce an O type. The husband is right to be concerned because neither of the parents have O type blood. The husband is right to be concerned because only the blood types A or B are possible in their child. The husband is right to be concerned because only the blood groups A, B, or AB should be possible in their offspring. The husband should not be concerned because he and his wife may each be carrying an O allele.
Mary has type O blood type . Frank has homozygous type B blood type. Mary had a child with type O blood type. Can frank be the father of this child? Why or why not?
