Question

A man with type O blood is married to a woman with type B blood.

a) Give the genotype percentages of the possible children this couple can have.

b) What blood types can their children have?

c) Explain why only these blood types are possible for the offspring.

Answer 1

The only possible genotype for the O type man is OO, while the B type woman can have BB or BO.
Based on these possibilities, what genotypes can the children have? Consider the situation where the woman has BB and BO as equally likely, each contributing to 50% of the child's percentages?
This should also tell you what possible blood types the children can have, based on their possible genotypes.

Answer 2

yh thank you so much i think i got it

Answer 3

That's right, you should draw two punnett squares, one for the OO man and the BB woman, and another for the OO man and the BO woman. From those you can find the total percentages of the children

Answer 4
