Final answer:

Mrs. Weasley's genotype is heterozygous and Mr. Weasley's genotype cannot be determined.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mrs. Weasley's genotype is heterozygous (IAi) because she has type A blood and can pass on either the IA allele or the i allele to her children. Mr. Weasley's genotype cannot be determined because his blood type is unknown.
