A man with blood group AB marries a woman with blood group O. What are the possible blood groups of their children? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A man with blood group AB marries a woman with blood group O. What are the possible blood groups of their children?
A. AB and O
B. A, B, AB, and O
C. AB only
D. A and B only
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The man's genotype is Iᴬ Iᴮ (AB) and the woman's genotype is ii (O). Gametes: man produces Iᴬ or Iᴮ, woman produces i only. Offspring: Iᴬ i (blood group A) and Iᴮ i (blood group B). Thus only A and B blood groups are possible. No AB (requires both Iᴬ and Iᴮ) or O (requires ii) children can be produced. This illustrates co-dominance and multiple alleles.

The plant cell wall is primarily composed of which of the following?
A. Chitin and Peptidoglycan
B. Silica and Calcium
C. Cellulose, Hemicellulose, and Pectin
D. Proteins and Lipids

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
