Introduction:
There are four major blood groups determined by the presence or absence of two antigens (A and B) on the surface of red blood cells. In addition to the A and B antigens, there is a protein called the Rh factor, which can be either present (+) or absent (–), creating the 8 most common blood types (A+, A-, B+, B-, O+, O-, AB+, AB-).

Today, we will look at some examples of how to test for those antigens to tell what kind of blood someone has.

Blood Typing Analysis
There has been a mix up at the hospital!
Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Mr. and Mrs. Jones both recently had babies at the same hospital. Their name tags were missing and we need to find out if child 1 or child 2 belongs to either sets of these parents.
Use these lab results of each person's blood type to determine which child could belong to which parent.
