Transcribed Image Text:After a mix-up in the hospital, there is confusion about the actual parents of three of the babies in
the nursery. Baby 1 (B1) has type A+ blood. Baby 2 (B2) has type AB- blood. Baby 3 (B3) has type
O- blood. The first possible set of parents (P1) are types A+ and O-. The second set of
parents (P2)
are types AB- and O+. The last set of parents (P3) are types A- and B-. Blood typing consists of two
traits. One is the ABO blood type in which A and B are codominant and O is recessive. The second
part of the blood type (+ or -) refers to the Rh factor. A positive Rh factor is dominant over negative.
Assuming that each couple is the parent of one of the three babies, can you sort out the babies based
on this information? If it is possible to sort out the babies, assign the babies to the appropriate couple.
