Question

part b what is the genotype of the woman? options: ii, i^a i, i^b i, i^b i^b

Explanation:

To determine the woman's genotype, we analyze blood type genetics. The allele \( ii \) corresponds to blood type O (since \( i \) is recessive and needs two copies for O phenotype). If the context (e.g., previous parts or typical problems) implies blood type O, the genotype \( ii \) is correct. Among the options, \( ii \) is the genotype for blood type O (homozygous recessive for the \( i \) allele, no A or B antigens).

Answer:

\( ii \) (the first option, labeled "ii")
