Step-by-step solution
4 stepsDetermine the genotypes of the parents.
Olga has blood group B and is heterozygous. The genotype for heterozygous blood group B is .
Phillimon has blood group A and is homozygous. The genotype for homozygous blood group A is .Set up a Punnett square for the cross.
The gametes from Olga are and .
The gametes from Phillimon are and .Determine the possible genotypes of the offspring.
From the Punnett square, the possible genotypes are and .
Determine the possible phenotypes (blood groups) of the offspring.
- Genotype results in blood group AB (due to codominance).
- Genotype results in blood group A (since is dominant over ).
The possible blood groups of their children are AB and A.
The possible blood groups of their children are:
- Blood group AB
- Blood group A
