Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If the father’s blood group is O, he has the genotype IOIO or (ii) . The mother has blood type AB, which means that her genotype would be IAIB. The possible combinations of these two groups would result in children having genotypes IAIO or IBIO, which would give them blood groups A or B respectively.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: A man with type O blood would not be able to produce a child with type AB blood regardless of the mothers blood type. This is because type O blood is recessive and these individuals have two O alleles so the only allele they would be able to pass to a child would be “O".
