(NEET-2015)

Solution

(a): The man has blood group $A$, thus its genotype can either be $I^AI^A$ or $I^AI^O$. Similarly, woman can either have $I^BI^B$, or $I^BI^O$ genotype. Thus, their offspring can have any of the blood groups $A$ $(I^AI^A$ or $I^AI^O)$, $B$ $(I^BI^B$ or $I^BI^O)$, $AB$ $(I^AI^B)$ or $O$ $(I^OI^O).$
