Solution:No, the given information is not enough to answer this question. A woman with blood group O contains both homozygous (OO) and heterozygous (AO) genotypes. A man with blood group A also has homozygous (AA) and heterozygous (AO) genotypes. In humans, blood groups A, B, and ABO are considered dominant and O as recessive.
