Blood Types Problem Set
Problem 6: Do we all have the same biological father?
We were surfing the net for
information on how to confirm blood types inherited from our parents.
Your home page offered a lot of good, basic information, but since we
are non-bio-science types, our understanding is dated back to high
school. Could you offer a reference that would be helpful to figure out
blood typing. We understand that a ABO matrix is part of it, and we
expect it to be technically over our heads - but we're willing to try.
Our basic question is: What is the blood type consistency of two parents
who are O+ who have 8 children? 2 of 8 are reported to be O+ and O-.
Does that seem to be likely?? --John
