Meanie, Punnett squares are terribly easy to construct. Go to it!

Punnett squares are fairly straightforward to construct, and you could
probably even find that specific example of blood types if you had a
genetic textbook lying around.

But, in any case, here's how it works out:
AO x BO:
   |  A  |  O  |
----------------
 B |  AB |  BO |
----------------
 O |  AO |  OO |
----------------
(I hope that formatted properly!)

So the final result is, we could have AB, or AO, or BO, or OO
genotypes, corresponding to AB, A, B, and O phenotypes, respectively.
Each is equally likely, occuring once in the four possible outcomes.
