Question
A child has blood group O. If the father has blood group A and mother blood group B, work out the genotypes of the parents and the possible genotypes of the other offsprings.
Solution
If the father has blood group A, i.e., IAIA (homozygous), and the mother has blood group B, i.e., IBIB (homozygous), all offsprings will have blood group AB (IAlB) rather than blood group O.
A child has blood group O only if both parents are heterozygous, i.e. father IAIi and mother IBIi.
Therefore, the parents of a child with blood group O will have genotypes IAi and IBi. Aside from O blood group offspring, there is a chance of three other blood groups. They are IAi (blood group A), IBi (blood group B), and IAIB (blood group AB).

Cross between hybrid and recessive parent:
In a cross between red coloured and white coloured flowers, when plants with red coloured flowers of F1 generation were self pollinated, plants of F2 generation were obtained in which 75% of plants were with red flowers and 2.5% plants were with white flowers.
Explain the inheritance of traits in the above cross with the help of a flow chart only along with the ratio of plants obtained.
Assertion (A): In humans, if gene (B) is responsible for black eyes and gene (b) responsible for brown eyes, then the colour of eyes of the progeny having gene combination Bb, bb or BB will be black only.
Reason (R): The black colour of the eyes is a dominant trait.
