Answer:

option D

Explanation:

There are four possible blood groups (A, B, AB, O)  and six possible genotypes (AA, AO, BB, BO, AB, OO). Since the mother's bloodgroup is blood type A, then her genotype cannot be IAIB, ii(OO) or IBIB. Thus, we are left with the possible genotypes of IAIA (AA) and IAi (AO).

For her to produce a daughter with blood type O (OO), she has to be an heterozygote with the AO, contributing O so that the father assuming he is of blood type A or B negative (AO or BO) can contribute the second O.

For her to produce a son with type B negative which can only be of genotype BO since the mother is an AO (type A positive), he can only get the type B negative (BO) if his father is blood type B negative. this occurs with the mother contributing the O and the father contributing the B and the rhesus negative factor.

Why do animals in the alpine generally have higher levels of hemoglobin?
deff fn [24]
High-altitude environments present a number of physiological challenges for endothermic animals, as they are characterized by a lower partial pressure of oxygen (<span>) and lower ambient temperatures compared to low-altitude environments at similar latitudes. The reduced </span><span> at high altitude results in reduced oxygen loading in the lungs such that the blood may not carry a sufficient supply of oxygen to the cells of respiring tissues (</span>Bencowitz et al. 1982<span>; </span>Bouverot 1985<span>; </span>Turek et al. 1973<span>). This reduced level of tissue oxygenation can impose severe constraints on aerobic metabolism and may therefore influence an animal's food requirements, water requirements, the capacity for sustained locomotor activity, and the capacity for internal heat production.
