Answer
Cheese is made from cow’s milk throughout the world. The steps in the process of cheese manufacture are as follows:
- Chemical and microbiological testing of milk is done.
- Three types of bacteria, viz. Lactobacillus lactis, Lactobacillus cremoris and Streptococcus thermophilus along with some colour is added to the milk.
- It imparts sourness to the milk and it is converted into yoghurt like substance.
- The water from this yoghurt, i.e. whey is not removed to make the yoghurt denser.
- Enzyme, rennet or protease is added to the mixture to make it more denser.
- Later cutting the solid yoghurt into pieces, washing, rubbing, salting, land mixing of essential microbes, pigments and flavours is done in suitable steps.
- The pressed cheese is then cut in to pieces and stored for ripening.

They are not correct. The father with blood group A has genotype $I^AI^O.$ The mother with blood group $B$ has genotype $I^BI^O.$ Hence, the possible genotypes of the children will be $I^AI^B, I^AI^O, I^BI^O$ and $I^OI^O$. Thus, the possible blood groups of children will be $AB, A, B$ and $O.$ Hence, if the father has blood group A, and the mother has blood group $B, $ it is possible for them to have children with blood group O.
