Geneticists
are often called upon to solve mysteries. Using
genetic clues, give a possible solution for each of the problems below.
Problem: Four newborn babies in the delivery room of the local hospital were
mixed up by the person who typed the wristbands. The blood types of the
four babies were known to be AB, O, A, and B. How did the doctors eventually
find out which baby belongs to which set of parents?
Parents
#1 had blood types O and AB.
Parents
#2 had blood types AB and B.
Parents
#3 both had blood type O.
Parents
#4 had blood types A and O.
Match
the babies with the correct parents
3. Baby with type AB blood

10. Match the bacterial diseases with the
different Patients.
1. A plant has a life cycle with alternating
diploid and haploid stages. The
diploid stage of a plant which produces sex organs which produces gametes is called the
________________ stage. The stage of a
plant which produces spores
is therefore called the ________________ stage.
The life cycle is known as
Alternation of Generations.

vascular. (see Diversity Lab II for
a breakdown) List three (3) ways
vascular plants differ from bryophytes.
