Blood Type Lab

The evidence showed that the first child was Mr. Johnsons, the second child was Mr. Wilson.
And lastly the third child could have been either of theirs. Now let's see how we got to this
evidence. First of all there are only 4 blood types A, B, AB, and O. And blood type is a good
way of finding the parent because you can just use a punnett square to predict the offspring.
Also another thing with blood type is only some can be used for each type. Meaning if you Were
type A you can receive from only A, and O Blood. And If you were B, you can receive from only
B and O. For AB and O it is different. So for O you can receive from only O but you can give to
any other blood types because it has no antigen on the outside. And lastly with AB is that they
can receive from everyone which is good yet they can only give to AB blood.

Now we choose this procedure because when you get the blood type from the parents and the
children. You can make a Punnett square to find who was the parent of the child. So once we
get all the blood types and make the Punnett squares, we will find which parent had which child.
So at the beginning before we could test the parents and Children's blood, we had to test the
blood indicators so we know that they are correct. Next after we found all the ABO blood we
tested the parents and children blood and filled them into a chart. The chart keeps it organized
and lets us easily see the blood types next to each other. So since Mr.Johnson and the 1st child
matched up, that means he is the father of child 1. Same for Mr.Wilson, he had type B blood,
and the baby also did so that makes him the father of child 2. And child 3 could have been
either one of their children, because the Mrs. Johnson and Child 3 were both O blood so it does
not indicate the father. Finally lets get to the evidence and reasoning.

So our claim is that child 2 was Mr.Wilsons and child 1 was Mr. Johnsons and 3 could have
been ethier Mr. Wilson’s or Mr. Johnson’s child. Like I was saying with the chart we filled in we
first tested the blood indicators, then tested the parents and children's blood. And lastly made
Punnett squares and indicated what father had which child. After the chart was filled out with all
the evidence, all we needed to do was cross parents and children to see which alleles can
match up and then we will be able to indicate the parents. It was actually very easy to mach the
child with the father because Mrs. Johnson’s blood type was O which means anyone can have
it. And when making the Punnett square you will have a 100% chance every time of the other
crossing allele. So we found child 1 and 2 but child 3 who had O blood type and so was the
mother, which there is no indication of who the father was.
