## Step 1The problem involves understanding the inheritance of blood types in humans. The blood type is determined by the alleles a person inherits from their parents. The alleles for blood type are A, B, and O. The A and B alleles are co-dominant, meaning that if a person has both an A and a B allele, they will have AB blood. The O allele is recessive, meaning that a person will only have O blood if they inherit two O alleles.## Step 2In this case, the man has type B blood with a genotype of BB, and the woman has type O blood with a genotype of OO. This means that the man can only pass on a B allele, while the woman can only pass on an O allele.## Step 3When we create a Punnett square to visualize the possible combinations of alleles in their children, we see that all possible combinations involve a B allele from the father and an O allele from the mother. This means that all children will have type B blood.
