Parents that have blood group genotypes Ai and Bi plan to have a family of four.
What is the probability that exactly 2 of the children will be blood type O?
A. 4 (1/4)2 (3/4)² = 4(1/16)(9/16) = 0.14
B. 4 (1/2)2 (1/2)2=4(1/4)(1/4) = 1/4= 0.25
C. 6 (1/4)2 (3/4)² = 6(1/16)(9/16)= 0.21
D. 6 (1/2)2 (1/2)² = 6(1/4)(1/4) = 6/16= 0.38
