Answer 1

The correct option is None of the parental types match the baby.

Since the baby has a blood type O.

Parental genotypes:

Father- AB blood type AB

Mother- OO blood type: OO

When we cross multiply these genotypes AB X OO, the resulting offspring would be:

AO, AO, BO, BO

AO- 50% blood type A

BO- 50% blood type B
