Hey there Ruth,

A man heterozygous for blood type A marries a woman heterozygous for blood type B. The chance that their first child will have type O blood is
\boxed{25} Your correct answer would actually be
(1)/(4). But by converted it into a percentage, your answer would be 25.
AB and
BA will both equal
(1)/(4). So this would conclude to be that AO = (
Type \ A) ; BO =
Type \ B.

To clarify your answer, your correct answer is
\boxed{25}

Hope this helps.
