Understand the basics of blood type inheritance: Blood type is determined by the presence of antigens on the surface of red blood cells. The ABO blood group system includes four main types: A, B, AB, and O.
Recognize the genotypes associated with each blood type: Type A can be AA or AO, Type B can be BB or BO, Type AB is AB, and Type O is OO.
Identify the possible alleles each parent can pass on: A parent with blood type A can pass on either an A or an O allele, a parent with blood type B can pass on a B or an O allele, and a parent with blood type AB can pass on either an A or a B allele.
Determine the combinations that can result in an AB blood type: For a child to have an AB blood type, they must inherit an A allele from one parent and a B allele from the other parent.
Analyze the given parent combinations: Only the combination of A x AB can produce an offspring with an AB blood type, as the A parent can provide an A allele and the AB parent can provide a B allele.

Open Question
Five human matings (1–5), identified by both maternal and paternal phenotypes for ABO and MN blood-group antigen status, are shown on the left side of the following table:Parental Phenotypes Offspring(1) A, M x A, N (a) A, N(2) B, M x B, M (b) O, N(3) O, N x B, N (c) O, MN(4) AB, M x O, N (d) B, M(5) AB, MN x AB, MN (e) B, MNEach mating resulted in one of the five offspring shown in the right-hand column (a–e). Match each offspring with one correct set of parents, using each parental set only once. Is there more than one set of correct answers?
