<span>A cell can only grow so large in size because its ability to exchange materials is affected by a growing surface-to-volume ratio. Nature designed cells to be small in size because of the network of membranes passing through it. If cells grow any bigger, membranes in it will not be able to pass through its different parts and perform their purpose.


A cell is a network composed of many organelles (e.g. mitochondria, nucleus), that communicate and work together to provide bodily functions. The cell is small so that communication between organelles will be faster and much easier. When cells are small they can be easily repaired when damaged and replicated when needed.</span>

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The correct option is A)  It is not written by an authority

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

Parental genotypes: AO & BO

Children genotypes: AB, AO, BO, and OO

Explanation:

In the human blood group system, more than two types of alleles are present that lead to the existence of four blood groups in the human population.

Here, A and B alleles are co-dominant while the O allele is recessive to both A and B alleles in the ABO system.

The cross depicting the genotypes of children is

IA IO

IB    IAIB    IBIO

IO   IAIO   IOIO

In this cross, we get the same result as given in the question -

One parent has A and the other has B type blood while the children have all four types of blood groups One has Type A, one has Type B, one has Type AB, and the last has Type O. It is possible only when parents are heterozygous in their genotypes and not expressing codominance.
