    Zero.

    Because person with AB blood group will have (I antigen - antigen on RBCs) has Ia and Ib. While person with blood group O will have only i antigen.

    Blood group A: Ia + i; Ia + Ia

    Blood group B: Ib + i; Ib + Ib

    Blood group O: i + i

    Blood group AB: Ia + Ib

    Probabilities in the given case:

    Ia + i = Blood group A

    Ib + i = Blood group B.

    Thus the children would either have Blood group A or B. Never O.
