Answer AND Explanation:

The fact that the father has blood group A with rhesus factor positive and mother blood group B with rhesus factor, provides a possible scenario for Tamari to both the genes from the parents thus her blood is AB. Since both parents are rhesus positive, then Tamari's rhesus is likely to be positive. Gene A and B have equal degrees of dominance that is they are codominant and will both express themselves when present together as in both AB blood group.
