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.
