Answer 1

To determine the possible blood types of offspring from a person with blood type A (genotype AO) and a person with blood type B (genotype BO), we can look at the potential allele combinations.

Here are the alleles involved:

- Parent 1 (AO): Can contribute either A or O allele.
- Parent 2 (BO): Can contribute either B or O allele.

Now we can create a Punnett square to visualize the potential offspring genotypes:

| | B | O |
|-------|-------|-------|
| **A** | AB | AO |
| **O** | BO | OO |

From this Punnett square, the potential genotypes of the offspring are:
- AB (blood type AB)
- AO (blood type A)
- BO (blood type B)
- OO (blood type O)

Therefore, the possible blood types of their offspring are A, B, AB, and O.

The correct response is:
**A, B, AB, and O**.
