Question 1: a) Can Mr. Kasozi be the biological father of the child given their blood types?
Yes, Mr. Kasozi can be the biological father because a child with blood type O can be born to parents with blood types A and B, as they can each contribute an O allele.
Question 2: b) What are the likely effects of the bleeder's disease discovered in the 2-year-old?
The likely effects of bleeder's disease, such as hemophilia, include prolonged bleeding, easy bruising, and increased risk of bleeding after injuries or surgeries.
