Question

An archeologist discovers an unopened tomb in Egypt. Inside she finds the mummies of two adults and two children. Inscriptions identify the two adults as the Chief Scribe and his wife. The inscriptions describe how their son and his best friend drowned in the Nile river when their boat overturned. The mummies are so well preserved that lab technicians can type the blood of the four individuals. Both adults are type B. Child 1 is type A. Child 2 is type B. Which child is not the son? Explain your answer.

Explanation / Answer

Answer: Child 1 type A, is not the Son.

The reason is when both parents have B Blood group, possible Child blood group is B Group OR O group.

So, Child 1 is type A, so this is not the son. Because getting A Blood group to a child is impossible from B group parents.
