Hints & Solutions

(a) The inheritance of blood group is determined by some allelic genes which are IA, IB & I. In one individual, two allelic genes are present. IA & IB are dominant, while IO is recessive in the heterozygous condition. So, if a child has a blood group O, he/she must have II and he/she cannot have the parents of blood group AB & AB/O.
