Question
A child of O-group has B-groupfather. The genotype of fatherwill be(1) IOIO (2) I BIB(3) I AIB (4) IB IO
Solution
The blood group of a person is determined by two alleles. The O blood group is determined by the OO genotype, and the B blood group can be either BB or BO.
Given that the child has an O blood group, he/she must have received an O allele from both parents (since O is recessive and only shows up when no other alleles are present).
The father has a B blood group, so his genotype could be either BB or BO. However, since he passed on an O allele to his child, his genotype must be BO.
So, the genotype of the father will be IB IO (option 4).

The father of a certain family belongs to blood group AB, and the mother belongs to the blood group O. They have four children. One belongs to group AB, one to A, one to B, and one to O. One of these children is adopted and another is a child from an earlier marriage of the mother. State which is the adopted child and which is the child from an earlier marriage and explain your reasoning. Use a Punnett square to support your answer
