Summary Introduction
To determine: The person who cannot be the father of a child with the given blood groups of mother and child.
Introduction: Human blood group is an example of codominance. A gene has two pairs of alleles that are either dominant or recessive. Usually, in heterozygotes, the dominant allele masks the expression of a recessive allele, and so only the dominant allele is expressed. Codominance is a type of dominance in which both the alleles of a heterozygous gene are coexpressed resulting in a trait that is neither dominant nor recessive.

A survey was taken to determine the blood types of children from marriages in which the wife had the blood group AB and the husband had blood type A but one of his parents is type O. The survey resulted in 250 type A, 90 type B, and 110 type AB children. Is the deviation from the expected significant?
In a well-publicized paternity case, the following facts were determined: the mother, a beautiful, twice-convicted axe murderer, is blood type A. Her child, Lizzie, is type O and the alleged father, a mild-mannered felon convicted of check fraud, is type B. On the last day of the trial, another father – a missionary worker with blood type O is identified. Which of the two could be Lizzie’s father? Use the space below to support your conclusion.

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:

- 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.
