What is the ratio of genotypes? 1:2:1 What is the ratio of phenotypes (if any)? 1:2:1 Gametes b b B BB Bb b bb bb

2. Fill in the below table to demonstrate a cross between an individual with blood type AB and an individual with blood type A heterozygous. What is the probability of having an offspring with Type A blood? 50% What is the probability of having an offspring with Type B blood? 50% Gametes A a
