Ellie May, a mother with type B blood, has a child with type O blood. she claims that Jethro, who has type A blood, is the father. He claims that he cannot possibly be the father. Based on this information only, is it possible that Jethro is the father?
If blood tests ordered by the judge revealed that the father is homozygous in genotype, is it possible for Jethro to be the father?
Can you show work using the punnet square , thank you.

Expert Solution
The mother have blood group B, it should be heterozygous B because the child have O group.
And father can be blood group A, it also should be heterozygous A.

** genotype male and female parent.
So here in this case there is 1/4 probability to get a child with O group.
And if the father is homozygous A, then there is no possibility to get O blood group for progeny.
So he might not be the parent of child.
[That is the possibilities of progenies from heterozygous B and homozygous A are

Ellie May, a mother with type B blood, has a child with type O
blood. She claims that Jethro, who has type A blood, is the father.
He claims that he cannot possibly be the father. Further, blood
tests ordered by the judge reveal that the father is homozygous.
The judge rules that:
a) Ellie May is right and Jethro must pay up.
b) Jethro is right and is a winner-winner (chicken dinner).
c) Ellie May cannot be the real...
