NEETBiologyPrinciples of Inheritance and VariationMCQ+4 / −1

As per ABO blood grouping system, the blood group of father is B+\mathrm{B}^{+}B+, mother is A+\mathrm{A}^{+}A+ and child is O+\mathrm{O}^{+}O+. Their respective genotype can be

A. IBi/IAi/ii

B. IBIB/IAIA/ii

C. iIB/iIA/IAIB

D. IAi/IBi/IAi

E. iIB/iIA/IAIB

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

    A only
  2. B
    B only
  3. C
    C & B only
  4. D

Correct answer: A

The ABO blood group is determined by alleles IA, IB, and i, which are responsible for producing A, B, and O blood types, respectively. The IA and IB alleles are codominant, meaning both can be expressed if both are present, whereas the i allele is recessive.

Given the blood types in the problem statement:

  • Father's blood group: $\mathrm{B}^{+}$ - Possible genotypes: IBIB or IBi
  • Mother's blood group: $\mathrm{A}^{+}$ - Possible genotypes: IAIA or IAi
  • Child's blood group: $\mathrm{O}^{+}$ - Possible genotype: ii

To find the correct pairing:

The child has an O blood type, meaning their genotype must be ii, indicating they inherited an i allele from each parent. Therefore, both parents must have at least one i allele.

Given this information:

  • Father's Genotype: It must include i since the child inherited i. Thus, the father's genotype could be IBi.
  • Mother's Genotype: It must also include i for the same reason, so the mother's genotype could be IAi.
  • Child's Genotype: It is confirmed as ii.

Matching this analysis with the provided options:

  • Option A: IBi/IAi/ii - This matches the reasoning provided.
  • Option B: IBIB/IAIA/ii - This is incorrect because it suggests that neither parent has a recessive i allele to pass to the child, which is necessary for the child’s blood type O.
  • Option C: iIB/iIA/IAIB - This is incorrect and does not match the required genotypes for the child to inherit ii.
  • Option D: IAi/IBi/IAi - This includes a typo in the children's genotype and misalignment with blood types.
  • Option E: iIB/iIA/IAIB - This is incorrect, mismatches the inheritance mechanism.

So the correct pairing based on the genotypes and blood groups mentioned, along with genetic laws, would be Option "A", i.e., IBi/IAi/ii.

So the answer is: Option A
