Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If the father is heterozygous, there is a 50% probability for a blood type A child and a 50% probability for a blood type O child. If the father is homozygous, every offspring will be blood type A. The mother of the child is Rh+. She may be homozygous or she may be heterozygous with one Rh+ allele and one Rh-allele.
Detailed explanation-2: -Believe it or not, in this case having a blood type different from either parent is by far the most common result. In most cases, an O parent and an AB parent will have only A or B kids.
Detailed explanation-3: -The chance for AB blood group is 37.5% .
Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct option is ‘AB and B’.
