Can someone help please?? I have a question dealing with probability. I'll include the Punnett Square and anything else you might need to help me.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Question ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have to find the probability of type AB blood in their children. I'll draw the punnett square, hold on.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

What is the genotype or phenotype of parent ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The mother has type B blood and the father has type A blood.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They have 4 children, abby, dennis, brady and carly. abby and carly are girls and dennis and brady are boys.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as i've said before i need to find the probability that their children has AB blood type. I think is 1/4 or 1:4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its*

OpenStudy (abhisar):

yes 1:4 if we assume that both mom and dad are heterozygous. If they are homozygous and have a genotype \(\sf I^AI^A ~and~I^BI^B\) then the cross will be |dw:1407530749434:dw| In this case all the offsprings will have AB blood type.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

oh u mean that punnet square is the one given in question ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Then it will be 1:4 \(\sf \huge\checkmark\) |dw:1407530935714:dw|
