This information is not enough to tell which of the traits-blood group A or O is dominant.
It is known that blood groups A and B are codominant, which means both will express if found together in a heterozygote. However, blood group O is recessive. But from this information, you can conclude that blood group O is dominant. Why is that so?
Let's imagine that father's genotype is AA and mothers' genotype OO and cross them:
Parents:               AA    x    OO
Offspring:      AO    AO   AO    AO
Since we have information that daughter has blood group O, we can conclude that O is dominant over A and mask it. This is not true! In this case, the daughter will have blood group A.

Mother's genotype surely is OO (because O allele is recessive, so to express a recessive trait both alleles must be recessive). But, the father cannot be AA, because it must give O allele to the daughter so she can have genotype OO and blood group O. So, the father's genotype is AO.  Let's take a look at that crossing:
Parents:         AO   x    OO
Offspring:   AO   AO   OO   OO
Thus, in this case, daughter can have genotype OO and blood group O.

How do the various part of the body work together when we eat something
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Your digestive system absorbs water and nutrients from the food you eat. Your circulatory system carries oxygen, water, and nutrients to cells throughout your body. Wastes from the cells are eliminated by your respiratory system, your excretory system, and your skin.

Retrieve your plant specimens. If you have an Edmentum lab kit, your specimens are a cork section, Zea
Tcecarenko [31]

In the plant, when a cell divides into two daughter cells, we observe in this experiment Mitosis, which is the cell division that allows the plant to elongate and occurs in the meristematic tissues that are at the ends of the plants. Whereas meiosis is restricted to reproductive tissue and forms gametes that will form new seeds through fertilization, carrying genes from one generation to another.

<h3>How does mitosis occur in plant cells?</h3>

In plant cells, division takes place from the inside out – centripetal cytokinesis. In plant cells, cytokinesis is centrifugal, from the outside to the inside: there is the formation of a lamella, which grows from the center to the periphery and separates the two cells.

With this information, we can conclude that through successive mitotic divisions that the zygote (cell generated after the meeting of gametes) manages to originate all the cells of its organism. Mitosis, therefore, is responsible for the growth and development of embryos.

You are sorting cards with pictures of organisms and their descriptions into groups. You would place the card with an osprey and
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The osprey card and its description should be placed in the heterotrophs group.

Explanation:

Organisms that can synthesize inorganic substances, such as light, and turn it into food according to their own needs are <u>producers</u>, and they are called a<u>utotrophic organisms</u>. These organisms are by excellence all <u>plants</u>, that <u>photosynthesize</u>.  Organisms that are incapable of producing their food are called <u>heterotrophic organisms</u>. They <em>depend on other organisms</em> from the trophic chain such as plants or other animals to feed on, so they can get proteins and energy.

In the trophic chain, heterotrophic organisms occupy the <u>first, second or third consumer level</u>, after producers.

There are different types of heterotrophic animals: carnivorous, herbivorous, omnivorous, hematophagous, ichthyophagous, and etcetera. All of them depend on autotrophic organisms.
