The correct answer is A, B, and AB.

Key Points

  • Blood is a body fluid.
  • ABO blood grouping was given by Karl Landsteiner.
  • The parent's blood group is AB.
  • The blood group proteins are present in the 'I ' gene.
  • The genotype of a parent is IA IB.
  Gametes           IA         IB
    IA     IAIA     IAIB
    IB     IAIB     IBIB
  • From the punnet square, we can see that,
  • The Blood group can be A, AB, and B.
  • The blood group shows codominance interaction.
  • A and B are codominant over the O blood group.
  • IAIA = A blood group as here only A  allele is present on the I gene.
  • IAIB= AB blood group as here A and B allele is present on the I gene.
  • IBIB=B blood group as here B allele is present on the I gene.
  • If the blood group of both parents is AB, then the possible blood group of their children will be A, B, and AB.
