A wealthy, elderly couple die together in an accident. Soon, a man shows up to claim their fortune, contending that he is their only son who ran away from home when he was a boy. Other relatives dispute this claim. Hospital records show that the deceased couple were blood types AB and O. Can they tell if the claimant was an imposture using blood typing? Explain your answer using punnet squares. Suppose two newborn babies were accidentally mixed up in the hospital. In an effort to determine to which parents each baby belonged, the blood type of the babies and the parents were determined to be as follows: Baby 1: Type O Mrs. Brown: Type B Baby 2: Type A Mr. Brown: Type AB Mr. Smith: Type B Mrs. Smith: Type B Determine which baby belongs to which parents and the genotype of each person.
