Question

human blood type is determined by multiple alleles (a, b, and o). which phenotypes would be expected for the offspring of a man with type ab blood and a woman with type o blo
50% type a, 50% type b
50% type a, 50% type o
50% type ab, 50% type o
50% type b, 50% type o

Explanation:

To determine the blood type offspring of a Type AB (genotype \(AB\)) man and a Type O (genotype \(OO\)) woman, we use Punnett square analysis. The man can pass either \(A\) or \(B\) allele, and the woman can only pass \(O\) alleles. The possible offspring genotypes are \(AO\) (phenotype Type A) and \(BO\) (phenotype Type B), each with a 50% chance. So the phenotypes are 50% Type A and 50% Type B.

Answer:

A. 50% Type A, 50% Type B
