Which one of the following could NOT be the genotypes of the parents of a child with the blood group "O" Rh+ve\text{Rh}^{+ve}?

Options

  1. AIAI0 Rh+veI^A I^0\ \text{Rh}^{+ve} and IAI0 Rh+veI^A I^0\ \text{Rh}^{+ve}
  2. BIBI0 Rh+veI^B I^0\ \text{Rh}^{+ve} and IBI0 Rh+veI^B I^0\ \text{Rh}^{+ve}
  3. CIAIB Rh+veI^A I^B\ \text{Rh}^{+ve} and IAIB Rh+veI^A I^B\ \text{Rh}^{+ve}
  4. DIAI0 Rh+veI^A I^0\ \text{Rh}^{+ve} and IBI0 Rh+veI^B I^0\ \text{Rh}^{+ve}

Correct answer

C. IAIB Rh+veI^A I^B\ \text{Rh}^{+ve} and IAIB Rh+veI^A I^B\ \text{Rh}^{+ve}

Step-by-step solution

Blood group O requires the genotype I0I0I^0 I^0.

For a child to have blood group O, both parents must contribute an I0I^0 allele.

Parents with the genotype IAIBI^A I^B do not possess the I0I^0 allele. Therefore, they can only produce offspring with blood groups A, B, or AB (genotypes IAIAI^A I^A, IBIBI^B I^B, or IAIBI^A I^B).

Thus, parents with genotypes IAIB Rh+veI^A I^B\ \text{Rh}^{+ve} and IAIB Rh+veI^A I^B\ \text{Rh}^{+ve} cannot have a child with blood group O.

Answer: IAIB Rh+veI^A I^B\ \text{Rh}^{+ve} and IAIB Rh+veI^A I^B\ \text{Rh}^{+ve}
