Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Determine the genotypes of the parents.

    The mother has blood group AB, so her genotype is IAIBI^A I^B.
    The father has blood group O, so his genotype is IOIOI^O I^O.

  2. Set up a Punnett square to determine the possible genotypes of the child.

    The mother can pass on an IAI^A or an IBI^B allele.
    The father can pass on an IOI^O allele.

    GametesIOIOIAIAIOIAIOIBIBIOIBIO\begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \hline \text{Gametes} & I^O & I^O \\ \hline I^A & I^A I^O & I^A I^O \\ \hline I^B & I^B I^O & I^B I^O \\ \hline \end{array}
  3. Identify the possible genotypes and corresponding blood groups of the child.

    From the Punnett square, the possible genotypes for the child are IAIOI^A I^O and IBIOI^B I^O.

    • Genotype IAIOI^A I^O results in blood group A.
    • Genotype IBIOI^B I^O results in blood group B.
  4. Select the correct genotypes and blood groups from the given options.

    The possible genotypes are IAIOI^A I^O and IBIOI^B I^O.
    The possible blood groups are A and B.

    You should draw a ring around the following:
    Genotypes: IAIO\boxed{I^A I^O}, IBIO\boxed{I^B I^O}
    Blood groups: A\boxed{A}, B\boxed{B}
