Question

A man with type AB blood is married to a women with type O blood. They have two natural children and one adopted child. The children's blood types are: A,B, and O. Which child is adopted? How do you know?

Answer 1

The child with the blood type O will be adopted.

Step-by-step explanation:

A punnet square can be described as a diagram which is made to depict the outcomes of a cross.

To determine the possible blood groups of the children with parents having AB and O blood group, lets make a punnet square:

O O

A AO AO

B BO BO

The punnet square shows that the children produced will have 50 percent chance of having A blood group and a 50 percent chance of having a B blood group. Hence, we can tell that the child with O blood group is adopted.
