b. What are the genotypes of both parents?
c. Draw a Punnet square to show the possible blood types of their children.

Answer 1

Yes it is possible

Step-by-step explanation:

I cannot get you a punnet square but...

Mother: Type A blood = 1 part A blood 1 part O blood = OA

Father: Type B blood= 1 part B blood 1 part O blood = OB

There is a 25% chance for O blood

There is a 25% chance for AB blood

There is a 25% chance for OB blood

There is a 25% chance for OA blood

Answer 2

A) it is possible if they both have the recessive O type
