Detailed explanation-1: -The genotypes of the two parents are AO and BO.
Detailed explanation-2: -Two parents with A blood type can produce a child with either A or O blood types. Two parents with B blood type can produce a child with either B or O blood type.
Detailed explanation-3: -If someone has blood type A, they must have at least one copy of the A allele, but they could have two copies. Their genotype is either AA or AO. Similarly, someone who is blood type B could have a genotype of either BB or BO.
Detailed explanation-4: -Since the mother has A blood group, the child can not be homozygous for B blood group. The reason is that he will receive one IB allele from father with B blood group but the mother with A blood group can transmit only IO allele for the child to have B blood group. Hence the genotype of child will be IB IO.
