Biology Question on Principles of Inheritance and Variation
A man with blood group A marries a woman having blood group B. The maximum possible blood groups among their progenies are
A
A, B
B
A, B, AB, O
C
AB only
D
A, B, AB

Explanation
Solution
A woman with blood group A can have either of the genotypes −IAIO or IAIA.A man with a blood group B can have either of the genotypes -IBIO or IBIB. 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,O ) among their progeny.
