A woman with blood type B has a child with blood type O. Her husband, whose blood type is A is concerned that the child may not be his. Based on what you learned from the inheritance of the ABO blood group system, what conclusions would you make? (Assume that both parents and the child normally produce the H-substance).

Mr. and Mrs. Smith are concerned because their own blood types are A and B, respectively, but their new son, Richard, is blood type O. Could Richard be the child of these parents?
If diseases such as cardiovascular disease (hypertension and atherosclerosis) are familial, is this an indication that there is a genetic contribution to these traits? What would you do to confirm that genetics is involved in this condition?
A woman with blood type O has a child with blood type O. Her husband, whose blood type is AB is concerned that the child may not be his. Based on what you learned from the inheritance of the ABO blood group system, what conclusions would you make? (Assume that both parents and the child normally produce the H-substance). The husband is right to be concerned because the only possible blood group types expected from both parents are type A or B or O. The husband should not be concerned. Since the child has the exact same blood type of the mother, the child simply inherited the blood type from her mother. The husband is right to be concerned because the only possible blood group types expected from both parents are type A, B, or AB. The husband should not be concerned because he may be a carrier of the O allele. The husband should not be concerned. Since the O allele is dominant, it makes sense that the child should show the O blood type.
A woman with blood type B has a child with blood type O. Her husband, whose blood type is A is concerned that the child may not be his. Based on what you learned from the inheritance of the ABO blood group system, what conclusions would you make? (Assume that both parents and the child normally produce the H-substance). The husband should not be concerned because the A and B blood types from the parents cancel each other in the child to produce an O type. The husband is right to be concerned because neither of the parents have O type blood. The husband is right to be concerned because only the blood types A or B are possible in their child. The husband is right to be concerned because only the blood groups A, B, or AB should be possible in their offspring. The husband should not be concerned because he and his wife may each be carrying an O allele.
