Biology Question on Principles of Inheritance and Variation

A man with blood group AA marries a woman having blood group BB. The maximum possible blood groups among their progenies are

A

A, B

B

A, B, AB, O

C

AB only

D

A, B, AB

Answer

A, B, AB, O

Explanation

Solution

A woman with blood group AA can have either of the genotypes IAIO-I^{A} I^O or IAIA.AI^{A} I^{A} . A man with a blood group BB can have either of the genotypes -IBIOI^BI^O or IBIBI^BI^B. Since the given question doesn't mention the specific genotype, thus any of the above-mentioned genotypes can be crossed. As a result of which there is a maximum possibility of obtaining all the blood groups (A,B,AB,OA, B, A B, O ) among their progeny.
