Answer:

If a father has type A blood and the mother has type AB blood, they cannot have a child with blood type O, although depending on the father's genotype, they may not have children with a B blood type either.

Explanation:

Blood type is determined by the presence or absence of surface antigens A and B, which is genetically determined and establishes the pattern of inheritance.

<u>Alleles that define the presence of antigens A and B are co-dominant, while the absence of antigens - as in blood type O - is a recessive trait</u>.

  • <em>Type A </em><em>contains antigen A and its genotype can be A|A or A|O. </em>
  • <em>Type B</em><em> contains the B antigen, whose genotype can be B|B or B|O. </em>
  • <em>Blood type AB</em><em> contains both antigens and a single genotypic expression A|B </em>
  • <em>Type O blood </em><em>lacks surface antigens, with genotype O|O.</em>

The father with blood type A can have two genotypes, A|A or A|O, which raises 2 possible scenarios:

1. <u>Father A|O with mother A|B </u>

Alleles       A         O

A              A|A      A|O

B              A|B      B|O

In this case there is no chance of having a child with blood type O, 50% chance of having children with blood type A, 25% B and 25% AB.

2. <u>Father A|A with mother A|B </u>

Alleles        A        A

A               A|A     A|A

B               A|B     A|B

50% chance of having a child with blood type A and 50% with blood type AB. In this case there is no chance of having children with blood type O or B.
