100%
50%
25%
0%
which one^

Answer 1

Answer:

0%

Explanation:

Let's use a Punnett square to solve this problem.

      A    B

O  AO  BO

O  AO  BO

The Punnett square shows that 50% of their children will have the AO genotype and 50% will have the BO genotype. Neither of these genotypes give the child type O blood, so it is impossible for the child to have type O blood. The child would need two O alleles.

Answer 2

Answer: 0% (Assuming both parents had positive blood type)
