The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the blood groups of the parents and the possible blood groups of their progeny. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Blood Groups of the Parents:** - The man has blood group 'A'. - The woman has blood group 'AB'. 2. **Determine the Genotypes:** - The blood group 'A' can be either homozygous (AA) or heterozygous (AO). - The blood group 'AB' is always heterozygous (IAIB). 3. **Possible Alleles from Each Parent:** - The man (A) can pass on either the A allele (if he is homozygous) or the A or O allele (if he is heterozygous). - The woman (AB) can pass on either the A allele or the B allele. 4. **Create a Punnett Square:** - If the man is homozygous (AA): - Possible combinations with the woman (AB) would be: - AA (Blood group A) - AB (Blood group AB) - Progeny would only have blood groups A or AB. - If the man is heterozygous (AO): - Possible combinations with the woman (AB) would be: - AA (Blood group A) - AB (Blood group AB) - AO (Blood group A) - BO (Blood group B) - Progeny could have blood groups A, AB, or B. 5. **Conclusion:** - The presence of a child with blood group B in the progeny would indicate that the man is heterozygous (AO) because the B blood group can only arise if the man contributes the O allele. ### Final Answer: The type of progeny that would indicate that the man is heterozygous is a child with blood group B. ---
