Question
In the Table below, blood related quantitative phenotype measures are produced for four individuals in the ABO blood locus (with six genotypes). Note the individuals used to compute the genotype-specific quantitative phenotypes are different for each genotype group. In this table, the headers "AA, AB, etc" refer to the "AA genotype group, AB genotype group, etc.
If a new individual has a quantitative phenotype measurement of 0, what is the most likely genotype group to which the individual belongs?
A. AA.
B. OO.
C. AB.
D. BB.
E. AO.
Please show work!

Answer
B) OO.
Since O is a recessive allele, O phenotype can only be seen when the individual is of the OO genotype, i.e. Only OO genotype shows O blood group phenotype.
A table of Genotype and Phenotype :
Genotype-Phenotype
AO - A
AA - A
AB - AB
BO - B
BB - B
OO - O
