If one parent has blood type A and the other has blood type B, their offspring can potentially have any of the following blood types:
- A
- B
- AB
- O
This is because blood type is determined by the combination of alleles inherited from each parent. Blood type A can be either AA or AO (where O is a recessive allele), and blood type B can be either BB or BO. When you combine these possibilities, the potential offspring blood types are:
- AA (A)
- AO (A)
- BB (B)
- BO (B)
- AB (AB)
- OO (O)
Therefore, the correct response is "Any of the above."
