A man with blood group AB marries a woman with blood group O. The possible blood groups of their children are:
AAB only
BA or B
CA, B, AB or O
DAB or O only
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. A or B
1. AB blood group has genotype I^A I^B; he passes either I^A or I^B with equal chance.
2. O blood group has genotype ii; she passes only i.
3. A child receives one allele from each parent.
4. Possible combinations are I^A i and I^B i.
5. I^A i gives blood group A; I^B i gives blood group B.
6. So children can be only blood group A or blood group B.
