Step-by-step solution
3 stepsDetermine the genotypes of the parents.
Blood group A is represented by alleles I and i. Since the woman has blood group A and is heterozygous, her genotype is Ii.
Blood group B is represented by alleles I and i. Since the man has blood group B and is heterozygous, his genotype is Ii.Parental genotypes: Woman (Ii) Man (Ii)
Construct a Punnett square to show the possible genotypes of the offspring.
The gametes produced by the woman are I and i.
The gametes produced by the man are I and i.Determine the phenotypes corresponding to each genotype.
- II: Blood group AB
- Ii: Blood group B
- Ii: Blood group A
- ii: Blood group O
The possible phenotypes arising in the children are:
