The following story was adapted from the CBS show \u201cGhost Whisperer,\u201d Season 4, episode 5, \u201cBloodline,\u201d original airdate: October 31, 2008. OPENING SCENE: Olivia, a blond teen, is resoundingly beating her male tennis opponent, Ned. She\u2019s new in town and jokes that her partner went easy on her to make her feel welcome. From nowhere, a tennis ball cuts across their court. The dark-eyed brunette who hit it, Diana, stares at them. Olivia seems stunned into silence. Diana sneers at her and says, \u201cAny day now.\u201d Olivia hits the ball back to her, almost directly into her face. \u201cWhat was that all about? You know Diana Morrison?\u201d Ned asks. \u201cI used to, back when I lived in Granville the first time,\u201d Olivia answers. \u201cBack then we were friends. It was like a million years ago.\u201d As they walk away, we hear Diana\u2019s tennis coach screaming, \u201cDiana, Diana! Somebody help Diana, please!\u201d \u201cIs she OK? What\u2019s happened?\u201d Olivia gasps after running over. Diana has collapsed to the tennis court, not breathing. \u201cShe just dropped unexpectedly,\u201d Diana\u2019s coach responds. \u201cCall 911!\u201d SCENE 2:EMERGENCY ROOM: Diana is taken by ambulance to the emergency room. Olivia follows by car. At the hospital, Olivia\u2019s brunette mother walks in. \u201cI went to the courts to pick you up, and when you weren\u2019t there, they said a girl had collapsed, I thought\u2026\u201d she stammers. \u201cI\u2019m fine, Mom,\u201d Olivia assures her. \u201cI\u2019m sorry for scaring you. I should have called. It\u2019s Diana.\u201d?\u201cDiana Morrison?\u201d her mother asks, alarm spreading across her face.?\u201cWhere\u2019s Diana Morrison?\u201d a blond woman asks at the desk, \u201cI\u2019m her mother. They told me she was here.\u201d Olivia and her mother turn to stare at the new arrival. \u201cOlivia?\u201d Diana\u2019s mother asks. All three women stare at each other in confusion. \u201cWhat are you doing here?\u201d \u201cMrs. Morrison, I was at the courts with Ned, and Diana was there, too, taking a lesson I guess.\u201d Olivia explains. \u201cShe just collapsed.\u201d \u201cWas it heat stroke?\u201d Mrs. Morrison asks. \u201cShe barely ate any breakfast.\u201d SCENE 3: MEMORIAL IN DOWNTOWN GRANVILLE THAT EVENING: Night has fallen in downtown Granville. A candle flickers over flowers and stuffed animals at a makeshift memorial. Diana\u2019s mother is there comforting\u2013and being comforted by\u2014several young friends of her daughter. Olivia approaches Mrs. Morrison and tries to speak to her, but Mrs. Morrison rebuffs her. Olivia explains to her friend Ned, \u201cWhen we were little our moms were such good friends, we did everything together. It was almost like we were sisters. Play dates, sports, and camping, we even have the same birthdays so our parties were like this whole big deal every year.\u201d \u201cWhat happened?\u201d Ned asks. \u201cIt just ended,\u201d Olivia explains. \u201cI remember one night I woke up and my Mom was in bed with me\u2014she was rocking me and crying and crying. I asked her what was wrong, but all she would say was that she loved me.\u201d And then after that, everything changed. Diana\u2019s mom and dad split up. We stopped hanging out with them, and then we got transferred to Texas, or my dad did, so we left,\u201d Olivia shrugs. \u201cMy mom told me to forget about Diana, to make new friends. It was like she was mad at her, too.\u201d Olivia looks up and stares across the street. \u201cWhat\u2019s Dad doing here?\u201d Olivia\u2019s father heads toward Mrs. Morrison, offering her comfort in an embrace. 1. What do you think is going on with these families? 2. The hospital would surely have records of Diana\u2019s blood type on file. In general terms, how could blood type be used to figure out what is going on here? 3. For each of the following blood types, list all possible genotypes that can result in this blood type. a). Type A: b). Type B: c). Type AB: d) Type O: 4. Does inheritance of blood types follow typical Mendelian inheritance patterns? Explain. 5. Using I \/ IA \/ IB for the ABO gene alleles and + \/ \u2013 for the Rh gene alleles, indicate the genotype(s) for someone who is a). O negative: b). Homozygous A positive: [<\/em>Hint: assume the wild-type Rh allele is haplosufficient]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the case study, it appears there may be a hidden or unresolved issue among the families that ties back to a shared past and possibly hidden relationships or secrets. The dramatic reactions and history of the characters suggest that the resolution might involve uncovering these secrets, possibly relating to familial connections that could be indicated by blood type compatibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blood type can be crucial in uncovering familial relationships because it’s inherited from parents and can be used to rule out or confirm paternity or maternity. Hospitals keep records of blood types which can be referenced in cases where parentage is questioned or in need of confirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
