Jane is in the hospital recovering from a car crash. She needs blood, but the blood bank is extremely low. Members of her family have offered to donate, but none of them know their blood type. Jane’s brother Tom, sister Mary, mother Harriett, and Grandpa Ed (her mom’s father) are local and are all willing to be tested. Jane’s other sister Sue is away at college, but she is going to have her blood tested at school and have the results sent to the hospital. Jane’s father, John and Grandmother Mona (her mom’s mother) have passed away. Their blood types remain unknown. Please use the information given to draw a pedigree that shows the distribution of blood type in Jane’s family. Squares and circles denote male and female sex, respectively (not gender). Write the name of the individual underneath each square or circle in the pedigree and write the blood type inside of the shape. Analyze the pedigree to determine blood type for John and Mona.
