To solve this problem, we need to determine the possible blood groups of the offspring when a man with blood group 'A' marries a woman with blood group 'B'.Blood group inheritance is determined by the alleles:IA (A allele), IB (B allele), and i (O allele).The possible genotypes for blood group 'A' are IAIA and IAi.The possible genotypes for blood group 'B' are IBIB and IBi.Let's consider the combinations:If the man is IAIA and the woman is IBIB, the offspring can only be IAIB (blood group AB).If the man is IAIA and the woman is IBi, the offspring can be IAIB (blood group AB) or IAi (blood group A).If the man is IAi and the woman is IBIB, the offspring can be IAIB (blood group AB) or IBi (blood group B).If the man is IAi and the woman is IBi, the offspring can be IAIB (blood group AB), IAi (blood group A), IBi (blood group B), or ii (blood group O).Therefore, the possible blood groups of their offspring are A, B, AB, and O.This corresponds to Option 3.
