Could somebody tell me what a child's phenotypes are if their parents blood is type A and type AB?

Question

its my homework, please help me with it, its confusing me.

Answer 1

Parental phenotypes: AA or AO (type A) and AB (type AB)

Possible offspring phenotypes: AA, AB, AA, AB, or AA, AB, AO, BO

So, the possible offspring phenotypes are AA or AO- type A (50%), AB - type AB (38%), and BO - type B (13%).

Answer 2

There are three alleles for blood type - we'll call them a, b, and o. You get one from each parent. In this case, the first parent is blood type A, so their genotype can be either a/o or a/a (since o is recessive). The other parent is AB, so their genotype must be a/b. In that case, the children can have four possible genotypes: a/a, o/a, o/b, a/b. These will produce the phenotypes A, A, B, and AB respectively.

Answer 3

a, ab or b, the parent with a blood could have solid A blood or could have AO blood, in a punnet square the B is the dominate trait so it could be A, AB, or B, no way it could be O if the other parent is AB... blood types, those are fun... to do a punnet square draw a box with 4 inner boxes, on the outside of the box put the parents so over box 1 on the top you could put A over one box and B over the other, then on the side put A on the top box's side then what ever other possability which in this case is A or O

so the phenotype would be AA- 50%
AB- 50%

or

AA- 25%
AO- 25%
AB- 25%
BO- 25%

Answer 4

Only A or AB are probable. B is possible only if the A parent passed the recessive O gene to this child and the AB parent passes only the B.

Answer 5

It would be one of A, B or AB.
