Solution

No,the information is not enough to say A or O is dominant.

  1. If A is considered to be dominant over O possible combination of father will be - AO and mother will be OO. Thus, daughter can be OO and hence have blood group O.
  2. If O is supposed to be dominant over A then the possible combinations of father will be - AA,and mother will be OO or OA. Thus, daughter can be OA and hence has blood group O.
    From the given information we cannot ascertain which blood group is dominant.
