**Genetics Problem: Blood Type Probability**_Problem Statement:_A man who has type O blood has a child with a woman who has type A blood. The woman’s mother has type AB blood and her father, type B. What is the probability that the child has type A blood?- 0%- 75%- 100%- 50%- 25%_Explanation:_1. **Blood Type Basics:** - Blood type is determined by the combination of alleles inherited from the parents. - Type O contains two O alleles. - Type A can have either AA or AO alleles. - Type B can have either BB or BO alleles. - Type AB has one A allele and one B allele.2. **Parental Blood Types:** - Man (Type O): OO alleles - Woman (Type A, with AB mother and B father): She must have inherited one A allele from her AB mother and one B or O allele from her B father. Since she has type A blood, her genotype must be AO.3. **Punnett Square Analysis:** - To determine the child's blood type probability, we need to analyze the combination of the father's OO alleles and the mother's AO alleles. - The possible allele combinations for the child are: - O from the father and A from the mother: AO (Type A blood). - O from the father and O from the mother: OO (Type O blood). - Thus, there are two possible outcomes for the child’s blood type: AO (Type A) and OO (Type O).4. **Probability Calculation:** - Since the likelihood of getting AO or OO is equally probable, each outcome has a probability of 50%._Conclusion:_The probability that the child has type A blood is 50%._Answer:_ 50%
