Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones had baby girls the same day in the same hospital. Mrs. Smith named her baby Selena and Mrs. Jones named her baby Jessica. Mrs. Jones began to suspect however that the babies had been switched. (This was in the day before DNA tests were possible.) Blood tests were done with the following results:
Mr. Smith type A
Mr. Jones type A
Mrs. Smith type B
Mrs. Jones type A
Selena type O
Jessica type B
Had a mix-up occurred? How do you know?
Mrs. Kaur and Mrs. Sharma had babies on the same day at the same hospital. Mrs.
Kaur took home a girl (Harleen) and Mrs. Sharma received a boy (Baldeep). However,
Mrs. Sharma was sure she had given birth to a girl and brought a suit against the
hospital. Blood tests showed that Mr. Sharma was type O. Mrs. Sharma was type AB
and Mr. & Mrs. Kaur were both type B. Harleen was type O and Baldeep was type A.
Had a mistake occurred? Did the parents bring home the incorrect babies?
a. What is Harleen's determined genotype?
b. What is Baldeep's determined genotype?
c. What is Mr. Kaur's determined genotype?
d. What is Mrs. Kaur's determined genotype?

Which of the following is the most accurate advice that you could give to this couple based on their blood types? They should be concerned about hemolytic disease of the newborn for all of their pregnancies . Since the woman is Rh-, she produces anti-Rh antibodies. Since the man is Rh+, the fetus in all pregnancies with this man will also be Rh+. This means that the mom?s anti-Rh antibodies will destroy fetal RBCs every time that the woman gets pregnant, thus producing a dangerous anemia to all the fetuses from all pregnancies with this man. They should be concerned about hemolytic disease of the newborn. However, problems related to this condition seldom develop during a first pregnancy, because very few fetal cells enter the maternal bloodstream then, and thus the mother?s immune system is not stimulated to produce anti-Rh antibodies. However if a future pregnancy with the…arrow_forward
