Question

1. fill in the punnett square below showing all the possible blood types for the offspring produced by a blood type o mother and a blood type ab father.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the genotypes

Blood type O has genotype \(ii\). Blood type AB has genotype \(I^{A}I^{B}\).

Step2: Set up the Punnett square

The mother (\(ii\)) can only contribute \(i\) gametes. The father (\(I^{A}I^{B}\)) can contribute \(I^{A}\) or \(I^{B}\) gametes.

	\(I^{A}\)	\(I^{B}\)
\(i\)	\(I^{A}i\) (Type A)	\(I^{B}i\) (Type B)

Answer:

	\(I^{A}\)	\(I^{B}\)
\(i\)	\(I^{A}i\) (Type A)	\(I^{B}i\) (Type B)
