### Genetics of Blood Types - Educational Outline1. **Scenario:** - Martha has type AB blood and is married to Richard who has type B blood. Richard's mother has type O blood.2. **Questions:** - **a. List the genotypes for:** - Martha: AB - Richard: BO (since his mother is OO and he has a B allele, he must have inherited an O allele from his mother) - Richard’s mother: OO - **b. Show the Punnett square crossing Martha & Richard:** The Punnett square involves Martha (AB) and Richard (BO). ``` A B _________________ B | AB | BB | ---------------- O | AO | BO | ``` **Explanation:** - An allele from Martha can either be A or B. - An allele from Richard can either be B or O. - The combinations in the Punnett square show the possible genotypes of their offspring. - **c. Determine the possible blood types of the offspring:** - AB (from A and B combination) - BB (from B and B combination, which is type B blood) - AO (from A and O combination, which is type A blood) - BO (from B and O combination, which is type B blood) Therefore, the possible blood types for the offspring are: - Type A - Type B - Type AB### SummaryBy using the genotypes of the parents (Martha and Richard) and the Punnett square, we can predict that their offspring may have blood types A, B, or AB.
