Susan, a mother with type B blood, has a child with type O blood. She claims that Craig, who has type AB blood, is the father. He claims that he cannot possibly be the father. If the judge heeds the rules of inheritance and assumes that a mutation did not occur, then the expected ruling is that _____.
