A mother has type A blood. A father has type B blood. They have a child with type O blood, but the father claims it cannot be his child based on the blood type. Is he correct? (PLS ANSWER)

No, if they are both heterozygous for their blood types, they could have a child with type O blood. Therefore, the father's claim is incorrect.
