When using a Punnett square, what would the results look like for the pair of alleles AB and BO?

The question pertains to the use of a Punnett square to visualize the genetic combinations resulting from the pairing of two alleles. In this case, one parent has the genotype AB and the other has the genotype BO.

When setting up the Punnett square, we need to consider the gametes produced by each parent. The individual with genotype AB can produce gametes bearing either allele A or allele B. The individual with genotype BO can produce gametes with allele B or allele O.

When you place these gametes in a Punnett square, you would have:

• From the AB parent, the gametes are A and B.

• From the BO parent, the gametes are B and O.

This leads to four possible combinations:

1. A from the AB parent and B from the BO parent (resulting in AB)

2. A from the AB parent and O from the BO parent (resulting in AO)

3. B from the AB parent and B from the BO parent (resulting in BB)

4. B from the AB parent and O from the BO parent (resulting in BO)

The correct results from the combinations made in the Punnett square show that the genotypes will be AB, AO, BB, and
