Jessica could have type A or type B.

Explanation:

Each parent donates one of the ABO alleles to Jessica. Her mom donates either A or B. Her dad donates only o. Jessica will be either Ao or Bo, which correspond to type A and type B.

$color(white)(aaaaa)$ A $color(white)(aaaaa)$ B

o $color(white)(aaaa)$ Ao $color(white)(aaaa)$ Bo
