Verified Answer :

types a and b b. iaib

Answer:

The correct answer would be A. types A and B.

In ABO blood group, blood group is determined by three alleles \(I^{A},\)\(I^{B},\) and \(i\).

\(I^{A}\) and \(I^{B}\) are codominant to each other whereas \(i\) is recessive to the other two.

The genotype of one parent is \(I^{A}I^{B}\). So, two types of gametes would be produced \(I^{A}\) and \(I^{B}\)

The genotype of second parent is \(ii\). So, the gamete produced would be \(i\).

The cross would result in the production of offspring with genotype \(I^{A}i\) and \(I^{B}i\).

Thus, the phenotype of the offspring would be blood group A and B.
