The ABO blood system has been employed to settle cases of
disputed paternity. Suppose, as an expert in genetics, you
are called to testify in a case where the mother is type A,
the child is type O and the alleged father is type B. How
would you respond to the following statements of the
attornies:
a. "Since the mother has type A, the type O of the child
must have come from the father and since my client is type
B, he obviously could not have fatered the child." Made by
the attorney of the alleged father.
b. "Further tests revealed that this man is heterozygous
and therefore he must be the father." Made by the mother's
attorney.
