  2. O or A

  3. B or AB

  4. A.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Child is B (genotype BO or BB). Mother is A (genotype AO or AA). To have a B child, the father must provide a B allele. Thus, the father could be B (BO or BB) or AB.

The genotype of B-group father of an O-group child is

  1. $I^O I^O$
  2. $I^B I^B$
  3. $I^A I^B$
  4. $I^O I^B$.
