Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If both parents have Type AB blood, what is the chance that they will be able to produce Type AB offsprings?
A
25 %
B
50 %
C
75 %
D
100 %
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -IA/IB people have both phenotypes, because A and B express a special dominance relationship: codominance, which means that type A and B parents can have an AB child. If both the parents are AB then their genotypes will be IA/IB and this combination cannot give rise to O blood group.

Detailed explanation-2: -The chance for A blood group is 37.5% + 12.5% = 50% . The chance for B blood group is 12.5% . The chance for AB blood group is 37.5% .

Detailed explanation-3: -One parent with A and another with B can produce a child with A, B, AB or O blood types. If one parent has A and another has AB, they can either produce a child with A, B or AB blood types. If one parent has A and another has O, they can either produce a child with A or O blood types.
