### Understanding ABO Blood Type Phenotypes and RatiosBased on the chapter about ABO blood types, determine the expected phenotypes and ratios for the following matings:a) **Type AB x Type O** b) **Type AB x Type B individual whose mother is type O** c) **Type O x Type A individual whose father is type O** d) **Type O x Type O** ### Explanation:- **Type AB x Type O**: Offspring can have type A or type B blood.\ *Genotypic Ratio: 1 A: 1 B*\ *Phenotypic Ratio: 1 A: 1 B*- **Type AB x Type B (Mother is Type O)**: Offspring can be type A, type B, or type AB.\ *Since the Type B individual's genotypes could be BO, this will affect potential offspring types.*- **Type O x Type A (Father is Type O)**: Offspring can only be type A or type O (depending on the recessive inheritance).\ *If the Type A individual's genotype is AO, then offspring can be type O or type A.*- **Type O x Type O**: Offspring will be type O.\ *Genotypic and Phenotypic Ratio: 100% O* These phenotypic outcomes are guided by the Mendelian principles of inheritance, considering dominant and recessive alleles.

Codominant alleles establish the blood type of an individual. The IA, IB, and I genotypes are three distinct types. The I allele is recessive, while the IA and IB genotypes are codominant.Blood group variants that may exist in humans include types A, B, AB, and O. Persons of type A and type B can either be homozygous or heterozygous.Answer: a. type A : type B = 2:2 b. type AB : type B : type A = 1:2:1 c. Type A : Type O = 2: 2 d. All offsprings are type O.
