I can't draw squares of any type on the computer.
Anyhow, it depends on the parents' genotypes:

Father: could be AO or AA
Mother: could be BO or BB
So there are 4 possibilities :

1. AOxBO ====> children: AB, AO, BO or OO (equal probability)
2. AOxBB ====> children: AB, BO (equal probability)
3. AAxBO ====> children: AB, AO (equal probability)
4. AAxBB =====> all children AB (F1 of 2 homozygous parents are all identical)

In the case of blood type there is no dominance, as these antigens are co-expressed on the blood cell surfaces

To answer your leading question you would have to know the geneotypes of 1 or both parents. If the man happens to be AO and the woman happens to be BO, then all 4 blood types are possible in their offspring.

the blood type to mom could be bi and bi and dad could be ai and ai so by the punette square you could get a cross ii or in other words blood type O

They have a 25% chance of having a child with A, B, AB, or O

Punnett square: Dad is I^A i
Mom is I^B i

I^A i = A
I^B i = B
I^BI^A = AB
ii= O
