The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason given in the context of blood group inheritance. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Blood Groups**: - The blood group of a child is determined by the alleles inherited from the parents. Blood groups are classified based on the presence of antigens (A and B) on the surface of red blood cells. - The possible genotypes for blood groups are: - Blood group A: Genotype can be either IAIA (homozygous) or IAi (heterozygous). - Blood group B: Genotype can be either IBIB (homozygous) or IBi (heterozygous). - Blood group AB: Genotype is IAIB. - Blood group O: Genotype is ii. 2. **Given Information**: - The woman has blood group A (genotype could be IAIA or IAi). - The man has blood group B (genotype could be IBIB or IBi). - The child has blood group O (genotype must be ii). 3. **Possible Genotype Combinations**: - We need to check if a child with blood group O can be produced from a woman with blood group A and a man with blood group B. - If the woman is IAi (heterozygous) and the man is IBi (heterozygous), we can create a Punnett square to see the possible blood groups of their offspring. 4. **Punnett Square Analysis**: - The gametes from the woman (IA or i) and the man (IB or i) can be combined as follows: - IAIB (Blood group AB) - IAi (Blood group A) - IBi (Blood group B) - ii (Blood group O) - This shows that there is indeed a possibility for the child to have blood group O (genotype ii). 5. **Conclusion**: - The assertion states that a woman can sue a man for refusing to own a child with blood group O, which is true because it is genetically possible for them to have such a child. - The reason states that she is right because genetically he can be the father of the child, which is also true as shown by the Punnett square. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
