For a person with blood group 'O', which of the following is not a possible combination of parents' blood-group genotypes?

  1. A.Father: I^A i and Mother: I^B i
  2. B.Father: I^A i and Mother: I^A i
  3. C.Father: I^B i and Mother: I^B i
  4. D.Father: I^A I^B and Mother: I^A i

Correct Answer

(D) Father: I^A I^B and Mother: I^A i

Solution & Explanation

A child of blood group O has genotype ii, so each parent must carry a recessive i allele to pass on. In option (4) the father is I^A I^B — he has no i allele to contribute, so an ii child is impossible. The other crosses can each produce an ii offspring.
