Question

Mom is heterozygous for blood type B and Dad is blood type AB.

(make sure to put the parent alleles in the correct places outside of the square, and fill in each of the boxes within the square)
Place the punnett square in your word document and answer the following questions:
What are all the possible blood types of their offspring? __________________________
What is the probability of their child having blood type AB? ________ Blood type O? _____________

Answer 1

The possible blood types of the offspring are A, B, AB, and O. The probability of the child having blood type AB is 25% and the probability of having blood type O is also 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given scenario, the mother is heterozygous for blood type B (genotype IBi) and the father is blood type AB (genotype IAIB). Using a Punnett square, we can determine the possible blood types of their offspring:

IAIBiIAIAIAIAIBIAiiIAiIBiii

The possible blood types of their offspring are A, B, AB, and O. The probability of their child having blood type AB is 1/4 or 25%. The probability of their child having blood type O is also 1/4 or 25%.
