In a nursery, four babies had their id bracelets accidentally removed. The blood group from each baby has been determined as follows: Baby 1: AB Baby 2: O Baby 3: A Baby 4: B The blood groups of the four pairs of parents have also been determined as follows: Blood group Parents Mom Dad Parents #1: AB X O Parents #2: O X A Parents #3: Parents #4: A O X X AB O Determine which newborn belongs to which set of parents based on the blood groups. NOTE: Include Punnett Squares for each set of parents to determine the possible genotypes.

In a freak coincidence, three babies are born in cars on the way to the same hospital and arrive at the same time. In the confusion, the babies and parents are not matched upon arrival. To assign parentage, blood types are taken and are as follows: Parents I: AB and AB Baby 1: B Parents II: O and B Baby 2: AB Parents III: O and AB Baby 3: O What is the correct assignment of parents to babies? Assume the FUT1 gene is normal for all individuals. A. Parents I and Baby 1, Parents II and Baby 2, Parents III and Baby 3 B. Parents I and Baby 1, Parents II and Baby 3, Parents III and Baby 2 C. Parents I and Baby 2, Parents II and Baby 1, Parents III and Baby 3 D. Parents I and Baby 2, Parents II and Baby 3, Parents III and Baby 1 E. The babies cannot be assigned based on the information given
In one of the well-known hospitals in the U.S sometime ago, a newborn baby was accidentally mixed up. In an effort to determine the parents of the baby, the blood types of the baby and two sets of parents were determined. Rose Ann, baby 1, had type O, Mrs. Miller had type B & Mr. Miller had type AB. Mrs. Bennett had type B & Mr. Bennett had type B b.1. Draw Punnett squares for each couple (you may need to do more than 1 square/couple) b.2. To which parents does baby #1 belong? Why? Hint you may want to refer to your Punnett squares.

A couple consulted a genetic counselor and they found out the following: Basha: A blood type, blue eye color, normal skin condition, carrier of cystic fibrosis gene, and carrier of hemophilia gene Popoy: B blood type, has brown eye color, normal skin condition, carrier of cystic fibrosis gene and negative to hemophilia. Clues for the table: • Blood Type: The probability that they’ll have an offspring with blood type the same as Popoy is 25% only • Eye Color: The probability that they’ll have an offspring with brown eye color is 75%. • Skin condition: The probability that their offspring will be an albino is 25% What is the probability that the offspring will have/ be: A. a girl with all the same phenotype as her mother. B. 2 girls with neither the blood type of the parents. C. 2 boys with normal skin color and carrier of cystic fibrosis gene; 1 girl with normal skin color and negative to cystic fibrosis.

In a maternity ward, four babies become accidentally mixed up. The ABO blood types of the four babies are known to be O, A, B and AB. The ABO blood types of the four sets of parents are determined. Indicate which baby belongs to each set of parents: A) AB x O B) A x O C) A x AB D) O x O
Two couples had babies on the same hospital on the same day. Couple # 1 had a baby girl, Denise who has a blood type A+. Denise’s father is B+ and Her Mother is blood Type A-. Couple #2 had twins a boy Mark and a girl Ana. The Mother of the twins is B- and the father is A+. The twins’ grandparents on the paternal side are AA+ and AB-; The baby boy Mark is AB- and Ana is 0+. The Mother of Couple # 2 is convinced that the girls were mixed- up and they received the wrong baby girl. Knowing that you are an expert on bloody types and Mendelian genetics that have reached you out for help. Please solve the problem showing all possible evidence
