Answer:
Yes, Mrs Green is correct that Belle is her biological daughter
Explanation:
According to this question, Mr. and Mrs. Green is said to have a daughter, Georgia while Mr. and Mrs. Blue is said to have a daughter, Belle. Both daughters were born the same day. Hence, a controversy occured as Mrs. Green thinks that Belle is her biological daughter.
Based on the blood analysis, the following were obtained:
Mr. Green: Type A
Mrs. Green: Type A
Georgia: Type A
Mr. Blue: Type AB
Mrs. Blue: Type A
Belle: Type O
The genotype of the following blood types is as follows:
Type A - iAiA or iAi
Type B - iBiB or iBi
Type O - ii
Type AB - iAiB
From the analysis of blood types of Mr and Mrs Green, which are both type A, they can possibly produce a child with type A.
However, from the analysis of Mr. and Mrs. Blue, it is impossible to have a child with blood type O. However it is possible for Mr and Mrs. Green if they are both heterozygous (iAi × iAi). The punnet square is attached. Hence, Mrs Green is correct about her claim since Mr. and Mrs. Blue cannot have a child with blood type A.
