A man with blood group A married a woman with blood group B. they have a son with AB blood group and a daughter with blood group O. Work out the cross and show the possibility of such inheritance.
Since the said parents have a daughter with O blood group, we can assume that both parents are heterozygous.
Hence,
Man with type A blood group has the genotype: AO
Woman with B blood group has the genotype: BO.
The blood types of their children:
1/4 will be AB- AB Blood group.
1/4 will be AO - A Blood group.
1/4 will be BO - B Blood group.
1/4 will be OO- O Blood group
Parents: Heterozygous A Blood Father X Heterozygous B Blood Mother
Alleles IA i X IB i
F1 progeny IA i IA IB IB i ii
Father/Mother | A | O |
B | AB - SON | BO |
O | AO | OO - DAUGHTER |
