Suppose a woman whose genotype is IB i and a man whose genotype is IA IA plan to have a baby together. If the woman gives birth to a baby with type B blood, is it possible that the man is the baby’s father?
Hint: You may create a Punnett square on a piece of scratch paper to show the genotypes of the possible offspring this man and woman can produce.
Group of answer choices
Yes, because the baby does not need a allele for the B antigen in order to have type B blood.
No, because the man would need to pass an allele for the B antigen to the baby in order for the baby to have type B blood.
No, because the man can only pass an allele for the A antigen to the baby, and that would cause the baby to have type A or AB blood.
Yes, because the mother can pass an allele for the B antigen to the baby.
