Question
-
Two parents, both with blood type A, have three children in a row with blood type O.
a. Is this possible? If not, why not? If so, give the genotypes of the parents.
i. What are the odds that, given the genotypes you list in 2.e., that the described scenario would actually happen?
b. Could other children of this pair be born with blood type AB? Why not?
Expert Solution

Introduction:
- There are four different blood types in the ABO Blood Group System: A, B, AB, and O.
- Each of these groups has a distinct antigen on the surface of red blood cells.
- The A and B antigens are dominant, whereas the O antigen is recessive.
