The blood group of the mother is A\(^+\) and that of the father is AB\(^+\). Which of the following statements is/are correct?
Show Hint
- Probability of the offspring with A\(^+\) blood group is 0.5
- Probability of the offspring with AB\(^+\) blood group is 0.125
- Probability of the offspring with B\(^+\) blood group is 0.125
- Probability of the offspring with O\(^+\) blood group is 0.375
The Correct Option is A, C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Blood group inheritance
The mother is A+, meaning her genotype could be either AA or AO, and the father is AB+, meaning his genotype is AB. The children can inherit the following ABO combinations:
- A from the mother and A from the father: A+ blood group.
- A from the mother and B from the father: AB+ blood group.
- O from the mother and B from the father: B+ blood group.
- O from the mother and A from the father: A+ blood group.
For the Rh factor, both the mother and father are Rh+, so the children have a 75% chance of being Rh+.
Step 3: Calculate the probabilities
- The probability of A+ blood group is 0.5.
- The probability of AB+ blood group is 0.125.
- The probability of B+ blood group is 0.125.
- The probability of O+ blood group is 0.375.
Final Answer:
The correct answers are A, C.
