  1. It is a Punnett Square question.

    -------A-------B

    O----AO-----BO

    O----AO-----BO

    50% have A; 50% have B; 0% have O.

    A and B have codominance, and O is recessive, so even though there are genotypes AO and BO, they cause blood types A and B, respectively.


  2. Yep, this is a punnett square question.

    -----A----B

    O--OA OB

    O--OA OB                  

    50% blood type A

    50% blood type B

    50% chance of offspring having blood type A, 0% chance of offspring having blood type O.

    (note that blood type O is when you have a lack of either A or B. It is recessive and when you have it with an A or a B as in the punnett square above, it is not expressed)

  3. Parents            AB ..............OO

    gametes       A,B    ...............O

    F1...............1AO   : 1BO

    Genotypes    50% Group A , 50% Group B

    0% Group O

    Hope this helps!
