The correct Answer is:
To determine the possible genotype for blood group 'O', we need to understand the genetics of blood groups, specifically the alleles involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Blood Group Genetics**: Blood groups are determined by three alleles: - \( I^A \) (A allele) - \( I^B \) (B allele) - \( i^O \) (O allele) 2. **Dominance of Alleles**: - The alleles \( I^A \) and \( I^B \) are dominant over \( i^O \). - This means that if either \( I^A \) or \( I^B \) is present with \( i^O \), the blood group will be A or B, respectively. 3. **Homozygous Condition for Blood Group O**: - The blood group O occurs when the genotype is homozygous for the recessive allele \( i^O \). - Therefore, the only genotype that results in blood group O is \( ii \) (homozygous recessive). 4. **Exclusion of Other Genotypes**: - \( I^B i^O \) leads to blood group B. - \( I^A i^O \) leads to blood group A. - \( I^A I^B \) leads to blood group AB. - Hence, none of these can result in blood group O. 5. **Conclusion**: - The possible genotype for blood group O is \( ii \). ### Final Answer: The possible genotype of blood group 'O' is \( ii \). ---
