Mr. and Mrs. Flynn are concerned because their new baby doesn't resemble either of them and has type O blood. Mr. Flynn is type A and Mrs. Flynn is type B. They're sure that it's impossible to have a baby with a different blood type than the parents, and so they conclude that a mistake has been made. Are they correct? Explain your answer. Be specific. Use the correct blood alleles (IA, IB, i) in your explanation. genotypes: Mr. Flynn _________ Mrs. Flynn __________ their baby ___________

2) You're the director of Foothill Presbyterian Hospital's maternity ward, and you have four mixed-up babies, with blood types of O, A, B, and AB. The four sets of desperate parents are threatening to sue you if you don't get their babies back. You know the blood types (phenotypes) of the parents are: i) AB and O ii) A and O iii) A and AB iv) O and O You also know that each set of parents has only one child (no sets of twins, that is). Match each baby with its parents.
A new nurse at the hospital has made a terrible mistake. When she bathed three children, she removed their wristbands and does not know which baby is which. The first baby has blood type AB, the second has blood type B and the third has blood type O. She looks up the records of the children and sees that the Jones parents have type A and type B blood, the Smith parents have type O blood, and the Johnson parents have type AB and type O blood. Whose baby is whose? Explain your reasoning.
In humans, the allele for normal blood clotting, H, is dominant to the allele for hemophilia, h. The trait is X-linked. A female hemophiliac has a child with a man who is not a hemophiliac. What is the probability that this couple's child is a hemophiliac and what is the child's gender? Your response must include a Punnett square with correct nomenclature.
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

Sarah and George have been married for 6 years. They had a daughter 5 years ago and her blood type is AB. Sarah had complications during her birth and was transfused with three pints of type A blood. The couple recently welcomed a new baby boy to their family. He has the blood type O. What are Sarah and George’s genotypes? Select one: a. Sarah's Genotype George's Genotype IAIA ii b. Sarah's Genotype George's Genotype IAi IBi c. Sarah's Genotype George's Genotype IAi IBIB d. Sarah's Genotype George's Genotype IAIA IBi
In a well-publicized paternity case, the following facts were determined: the mother, a beautiful, twice-convicted axe murderer, is blood type A. Her child, Lizzie, is type O and the alleged father, a mild-mannered felon convicted of check fraud, is type B. On the last day of the trial, another father – a missionary worker with blood type O is identified. Which of the two could be Lizzie’s father? Use the space below to support your conclusion. I am really confused with the queshtion and need help finding the answer and how to prove can somone explain the answer and show it in a punnet sqaure please
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. 82%4 A * .
