A male with B blood and a female with O blood are expecting a child together. Determine all possible blood types for their offspring. Drawing Punnett squares (2 X 2) as you do this will help. (Remember that blood types A and B can have 2 different genotypes and you need to take this into account in setting up your Punnett squares.) Possible ABO blood types:_____________________

Step 1
- The male has B blood, which can have two possible genotypes: BB (homozygous) or BO (heterozygous). - The female has O blood, which has the genotype OO (homozygous). Show more…

what will be rhe possible blood types of offsprings produced by the mother with type O blood and father with type AB blood? use punnet square and explain your conclusion.

Set 4: Practice problems: Blood type 1. If a man has Type B blood, what are his possible genotypes? 2. If a woman has Type O blood, what is her genotype? 3. Draw a Punnett square to show the possible genotypes of their offspring. What are the possible phenotypes? 4. If a woman has Type AB blood and a man has Type A blood, is it possible for them to have an offspring with Type O blood? 5. If a child has Type O blood but neither of her parents has Type O blood, what are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of her parents?
Step 1: Pick a letter to represent the alleles. Step 2: Determine the possible genotypes of the affected individuals. Step 3: Determine the genotypes of the parents involved Step 4: Use a Punnett Square to show the possible genotypes of the unborn child. Ms. Green is a 31 year old woman who has type O blood. She has children with Mr. Gray who has type AB blood. They have two children, the first with type A blood, the second with type O. Mr. Gray suspects that one of the children is not his biological offspring. Which child may not be his? Use a Punnett Square to explain your answer.
