A child has blood group O. If the father has blood group A and mother blood group B, work out the genotypes of the parents and the possible genotypes of the other offspring.

A

`I^(A)I^(A) and I^(B) i`

B

`I^(A)i and I^(B) i`

C

`I^(A)i and ii`

D

`ii and I^(B)I^(B)`

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
If father has blood group 'A', mother has blood group 'B', and the child with blood group 'O' appears in progeny, this means that the parents are heterozygous.
