Answer:
The possible blood types of their children are: type AB (iAiB), type A (iAi), type B (iBi), type O (ii)
Explanation:
Blood type in humans is controlled by a gene with multiple alleles. Alleles iA and iB are dominant over allele i but co-dominant. The following blood types are encoded by the following alleles:
Blood type AB - iAiB
Blood type A - iAiA or iAi
Blood type B - iBiB or iBi
Blood type O - ii
According to this question, a man who has type B blood has children with a woman who has type A blood. They are both heterozygous, meaning that the man's genotype is "iBi" while the woman's genotype is "iAi". Both parents will produce gametes as follows:
iBi = iB and i
iAi = iA and I
Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following possible blood types are produced in the offsprings:
- type AB (iAiB)
- type A (iAi)
- type B (iBi)
- type O (ii)
