Solution 1
The mother with blood group A has genotype IAIO. The father with blood group B has genotype IBIO. Hence ,the possible genotypes of the children will be IAIB, IAIO, IBIO and IOIO. Thus, the possible blood groups of the children will be AB, A, B and O.
Solution 2
The mother with blood group A has genotype IAIO. The father with blood group B has genotype IBIO. Hence ,the possible genotypes of the children will be IAIB, IAIO, IBIO and IOIO. Thus, the possible blood groups of the children will be AB, A, B and O.
Solution 3
The mother with blood group A has genotype IAIO. The father with blood group B has genotype IBIO. Hence ,the possible genotypes of the children will be IAIB, IAIO, IBIO and IOIO. Thus, the possible blood groups of the children will be AB, A, B and O.
