One girl learned a hard lesson in heredity during her science class when an assignment revealed that the man she thought was her dad actually wasn't. A student who witnessed the shocking story tweeted the whole thing out to the world.
How a girl in my biology lecture found out her dad wasn't really her dad by my prof

A thread
The biology lecture started innocently enough, with students working on a Punnett Square - a diagram that predicts the likelihood of certain traits, in this case blood type, being passed down.
The girl was having trouble with hers since her dad is type O and her mom is type A but she is AB, which the professor said wasn't possible.
So on Monday we’re discussing blood types and this girl was trying to figure out why her blood type didn’t make sense on her Punnett square

She told the prof her dad was O and her mom was A but yet she was AB

My prof explained that that’s impossible, that she’s confused on the blood types or something - she even drew out the different Punnett squares to show her

The girl was persistent that she wasn’t wrong on the blood types and was confident that there was something wrong with how the prof was doing it

The teacher was sure that there was a mistake somewhere so he told her to double check with her parents, and that caused a 21-year-old lie to be revealed, as the student tweeting it all out explained:
So my prof told her to talk to her parents to double check the blood types and all and make sure the information was correct

SOOOO, she comes back to class today and my prof made a point to ask if she was mistaken or confused

This girl is ballsy, lemme tell ya. She announces it to the entire class of 243 people

TURNS OUT, her mom had an affair with her husbands brother which is his step brother
— Anya (@anyahettich) February 21, 2018
So technically, she’s been raised by her uncle and not her dad her entire life - her mom hid it from the both of them for 21 years
— Anya (@anyahettich) February 21, 2018
Because my prof told her she was wrong with her blood types, she figured out her uncle was actually her dad and vice versa

Now they're getting a divorce

Who knew that much drama could come from a science class?
It's probably best for teachers to use made-up data when doing Punnett Squares.
