What are the possible blood groups likely to be inherited by children born to a group A mother and a group B father? Explain your reasoning.


The probable genotypes of a mother with blood group A are IAIA or IAIo. 

Similarly, the probable genotypes of a father with blood group B are IBIB or IBIo

Therefore, the probable genotypes of the children will be IAIB ,  IAIo,  IoIo or IBIo.

Thus, the children have the probability of having blood groups AB, A, B and O.
