"What would be the possible blood types of children born to a female with type A blood and a male with type B blood? FIND ALL POSIBILITIES" can someone explain to me how i'd solve this using the punnett square? and will it be A A B B so will the children have AB blood type? thx!

deadz:

i think its AB blood type but i might be wrong bc im dumb but im good at science

yet u said "it's AB" as if it's a viable answer when using the punnett square method...

AB blood type

deadz:

we know

Luigi0210:

You would be right, it's AB blood, assuming when you say Type A and Type B you imply they're homozygous and not heterogenous. So you would have parents with AA and BB alleles.

yes, but would the 4 cells in the punnett square be AB or AA, AB, AB, BB so there's a %50 chance of AB, %25 for A and %25 for B? that's what i'm struggling to understand.

Luigi0210:

Since each would get one A and one B, it would be 100% heterogenous, so all 4 would be AB
