Question

Consider two blood polymorphisms that humans have in
addition to the ABO system. Two alleles LM and LN determine the M, N, and MN blood groups. The dominant allele R of a different gene causes a person to have the Rh+
(rhesus positive) phenotype, whereas the homozygote for
r is Rh− (rhesus negative). Two men took a paternity dispute to court, each claiming three children to be his own.
The blood groups of the men, the children, and their
mother were as follows:From this evidence, can the paternity of the children be
established?
