Everyday Science / Biology — Multiple-choice practice

  1. A. A, B, AB, or O
  2. B. A or O
  3. C. Only AB
  4. D. A, B, or AB

Correct answer

A, B, or AB

Explanation

Explanation If both parents have AB blood groups (genotype IAIB), their offspring can have blood types A, B, or AB, but not O. This is because blood group O requires two recessive "i" alleles, which are not present in either parent's genotype.
