Question:
If mother's blood group is 'A' and father's blood group is 'O', then what can be the blood group of their child?
If mother's blood group is 'A' and father's blood group is 'O', then what can be the blood group of their child?
Show Hint
When determining possible blood groups, consider both the alleles from each parent. A mother with blood group 'A' may pass either an 'A' or an 'O' allele, while a father with blood group 'O' will always pass an 'O' allele.

Solution and Explanation
Blood groups are inherited from both parents. The mother with blood group 'A' can have either genotype 'AA' or 'AO', while the father with blood group 'O' must have genotype 'OO'.
- If the mother passes on the 'A' allele and the father passes on the 'O' allele, the child will have blood group 'A'.
- If the mother passes on the 'O' allele and the father passes on the 'O' allele, the child will have blood group 'O'.
Thus, the possible blood groups for the child are 'A' or 'O'.
