It has been a really bad day at the hospital. The maternity ward staff has mixed up four female babies, and the parents are arguing
over which child belongs to whom. Fortunately, the babies' blood type data has come back from the lab, and can be matched to
the parents' blood types. (NOTE: A/B/O types result from alleles of one gene with codominant alleles A and B and recessive allele
i. Rh+/- types result from a second gene with Rh+ dominant over Rh-).

Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

There are mainly four types of blood groups: A,B, AB, and O, based on the presence of antigens and antibodies present in the red blood cells. A blood group has A antigen; B blood group has B antigen; AB blood group has A and B antigens; and there are no antigens present in O blood group.

There is another blood group system known as the Rh system. If Rh antigen is present on the surface of red blood cells, then the individual is Rh+; if Rh antigen is absent, then the person is Rh-.
