The correct Answer is:
To determine which blood groups cannot have a child with blood group 'O', we need to understand the inheritance patterns of blood groups, specifically the ABO blood group system. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the ABO Blood Group System**: - Blood groups are determined by the presence of antigens on the surface of red blood cells. The main types are A, B, AB, and O. - The genotypes for these blood groups are: - A: \(I^A I^A\) or \(I^A i\) - B: \(I^B I^B\) or \(I^B i\) - AB: \(I^A I^B\) - O: \(ii\) 2. **Identify the Genotypes of Parents**: - For a child to have blood group 'O' (genotype \(ii\)), each parent must contribute an 'i' allele. - Therefore, both parents must have at least one 'i' allele in their genotype. 3. **Analyze Possible Parent Combinations**: - **O and O**: Both parents are \(ii\), so the child can be \(ii\) (O). - **A and A**: Possible genotypes are \(I^A I^A\) or \(I^A i\). No 'i' allele means the child cannot be O. - **B and B**: Possible genotypes are \(I^B I^B\) or \(I^B i\). No 'i' allele means the child cannot be O. - **A and B**: Possible genotypes are \(I^A I^B\) or \(I^A i\) and \(I^B i\). The child could be A, B, AB, or O, depending on the specific alleles contributed. - **AB and any group (including O)**: The AB parent (\(I^A I^B\)) cannot contribute an 'i' allele, thus the child cannot be O. 4. **Conclusion**: - The combinations that cannot produce a child with blood group 'O' are: - AB and AB - AB and A - AB and B - A and A - B and B ### Final Answer: A child of blood group 'O' cannot have parents of blood groups AB and AB, A and A, B and B, or AB and A/B.
