The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding what a person with blood group A can do or possess, we need to analyze the characteristics of blood group A and its compatibility with other blood groups. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Blood Group A**: - A person with blood group A has A antigens on the surface of their red blood cells (RBCs). This means their genotype can either be homozygous (IAIA) or heterozygous (IAi). 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: "Be parent of a child with B blood group". - This is possible if the other parent has a B blood group (IBIB or IBi). If the A blood group parent is heterozygous (IAi), they can produce offspring with blood group B (IBi). - **Option 2**: "Possess only B antigen". - This is incorrect because a person with blood group A has A antigens, not B antigens. - **Option 3**: "Safely receive blood from donor of B blood group". - This is incorrect. A person with blood group A can receive blood from A or O blood groups but not from B blood group due to the presence of anti-B antibodies. - **Option 4**: "Possess both antigens A and B". - This is incorrect as this statement describes blood group AB, not A. 3. **Conclusion**: - The only correct statement is that a person with blood group A can be a parent of a child with blood group B. ### Final Answer: - A person with blood group A can **be a parent of a child with B blood group**. ---
