Billy and Shiva just had a baby girl and are worried that there may have been a mix up at the hospital. Billy has A type blood, and Billy's father has O-type blood. Shiva has B type blood, and Shiva's mother had O-type blood. Their baby has O-type blood. Which of the following is true? O There must have been a mix up, as Shiva and Billy could only have a child with A, B, or AB blood. The baby could be Shiva and Billy's, as they are both hybrid for blood type and could pass the recessive allele to their child. This baby could not be theirs, as O type blood is dominant, and either Shiva or Billy would need to have O-type blood to pass it to their child. None of the above are true.
