In a paternity case a single mother claimed that a certain man was the father of her baby. The man denied it claiming that her current boyfriend was the father. The court ordered a blood test (cheaper than dna testing) to see if he could be ruled out as the father. The mother is type O and the baby was type O the man was type AB. What is the possible genotype of the biological father? A. Heterozygous Type A B. Homozygous Type A C. Heterozygous Type B

Two couples had babies in the same hospital at the same time. Michael and Danielle had twins, a boy, Michael, Jr., and a girl Michelle. Denise and Earnest had a girl, Tonja. Danielle was convinced that there had been a mix-up and she had the wrong girl, since Michael Jr. and Tonja were both light-skinned, while Michelle had darker skin. Danielle insisted on blood type tests for both families to check whether there had been a mix-up. Evaluate whether Earnest and Denise's baby girl was switched with Michael and Danielle's baby girl. The family trees in the image attached show the blood types for each person in both families.
