A women of blood type AB (1^Avert ^B) has a child with a man of blood type AB ( ") as well. What are the chances of the first child being blood type B? What are the chances of blood type O? 25% ,25% 100% ,0% 25% ,0% 0% ,0% 50% ,50%

Here's how to determine the blood type probabilities for the child:<br /><br />**Understanding Blood Type Inheritance**<br /><br />* **A and B are codominant:** If someone has both A and B alleles, they have blood type AB.<br />* **O is recessive:** Someone needs two O alleles to have blood type O.<br /><br />**Parent Genotypes**<br /><br />* Mother: AB (I^AI^B)<br />* Father: AB (I^AI^B)<br /><br />**Punnett Square**<br /><br />A Punnett square helps visualize the possible combinations of alleles the child can inherit:<br /><br />| | I^A | I^B |<br />|-------|--------|--------|<br />| I^A | I^AI^A | I^AI^B |<br />| I^B | I^AI^B | I^BI^B |<br /><br />**Possible Child Genotypes and Phenotypes (Blood Types)**<br /><br />* I^AI^A: Blood type A<br />* I^AI^B: Blood type AB<br />* I^BI^B: Blood type B<br /><br />**Probabilities**<br /><br />* **Blood type A:** 1 out of 4 possibilities (25%)<br />* **Blood type AB:** 2 out of 4 possibilities (50%)<br />* **Blood type B:** 1 out of 4 possibilities (25%)<br />* **Blood type O:** 0 out of 4 possibilities (0%)<br /><br />**Answer**<br /><br />The correct answer is $\boxed{25\%, 0\%}$. There is a 25% chance the child will have blood type B and a 0% chance the child will have blood type O.<br />
