The gene that controls the ABO blood group system in human beings has three alleles-`I^(A), I^(B)` and i. A child has blood group O. His father has blood group A and mother has blood group (B) Genotypes of other off springs can be:
(I) `I^(B)I^(B)`
(II) `I^(A)i`
(III) `I^(B)i`
(IV) `I^(A)I^(B)`
(V) ii

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the possible genotypes of the offspring from a father with blood group A and a mother with blood group B, while knowing that they have one child with blood group O, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the ABO Blood Group System**: - The ABO blood group system is controlled by three alleles: `I^(A)`, `I^(B)`, and `i`. - `I^(A)` and `I^(B)` are dominant alleles, while `i` is a recessive allele. 2. **Determine the Genotypes of the Parents**: - The father has blood group A, which can be either `I^(A)I^(A)` (homozygous) or `I^(A)i` (heterozygous). - The mother has blood group B, which can be either `I^(B)I^(B)` (homozygous) or `I^(B)i` (heterozygous). 3. **Analyze the Child's Blood Group**: - The child has blood group O, which has the genotype `ii`. - For the child to have blood group O, both parents must contribute an `i` allele. This means that the father must be `I^(A)i` and the mother must be `I^(B)i`. 4. **Determine Possible Genotypes of Other Offspring**: - The possible combinations of alleles from the parents (`I^(A)i` from the father and `I^(B)i` from the mother) can be determined using a Punnett square: - Possible combinations are: - `I^(A)I^(B)` (Blood group AB) - `I^(A)i` (Blood group A) - `I^(B)i` (Blood group B) - `ii` (Blood group O) 5. **List the Possible Genotypes**: - The possible genotypes for the other offspring are: - `I^(A)I^(B)` (AB) - `I^(A)i` (A) - `I^(B)i` (B) - `ii` (O) 6. **Identify the Correct Options**: - From the options provided: - (I) `I^(B)I^(B)` - Not possible (both parents cannot provide `I^(B)`) - (II) `I^(A)i` - Possible - (III) `I^(B)i` - Possible - (IV) `I^(A)I^(B)` - Possible - (V) `ii` - Possible (but already accounted for the first child) ### Conclusion: The possible genotypes of the other offspring can be: - `I^(A)i`, `I^(B)i`, `I^(A)I^(B)`, and `ii`.
