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.

____is the cells way of converting food molecules into a form useful to the cell.
enyata [817]

Answer:

Respiration

Explanation:

cross off Photosynthesis because that is specifically for plants. Diffusion is when molecules move from high concentration to low concentrations. Osmosis helps transport water across the cell.

By process of reduction you can figure it out, but here is what cellular respiration is in it's basics so you can remember in the future. Cellular Respiration is just the process that takes place in cells to convert Chemical Energy from nutrients and turn it into ATP, then releases waste.
