Couple 1 (Abby & Seth) To determine the possible blood types of their offspring, we need to create a Punnett square: B B A AB AB B BB BB Since Abby has type B blood and Seth has type AB blood, their possible offspring blood types are: AB (50% chance) B (50% chance) Therefore, Baby X (Type AB) belongs to Couple 1.
