A woman with type AB blood has children her husband who is O. What percent of their would you expect to have blood?

According to the inheritance pattern of ABO blood groups, when a woman with type AB blood (genotype IAIB) has children with a man who has type O blood (genotype ii), the possible blood types of their children can be determined as follows:

The woman (IAIB) can produce gametes with alleles IA and IB.

The man (ii) can only produce gametes with allele i.

Possible offspring genotypes:

IAi (A blood type)

IBi (B blood type)

Since both IA and IB alleles are dominant over i, none of the children will have type O blood. Therefore, we cannot expect any children with type O blood in this scenario.
