Two women gave birth in the same hospital on the same afternoon. Their babies were taken
away, and then brought back to them one hour later. One of the women was worried that
she had been given the wrong baby. She asked for blood tests to be carried out. The hospital
found that she was group A and her husband was group O. The other mother was group
AB and her husband was group A. The woman with blood group A had been given the baby
with blood group O. The woman with group AB was given the baby with blood group B. Use
genetic diagrams to determine whether the women had been given the right babies.​

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the Husband of Woman One had group O blood, than It would be hard for Woman 2's baby to have group O blood, because the Parents of Baby 2 are AB and A. So the hospital did give the woman the right babies
