Think about a petal plucked from its flower. Is the petal alive according to the characteristics of life ? Why or why not ?

No.

It contains living cells (temporarily), but neither the cells nor the petal fit the definition of an organism: "any complete and entire living thing capable of carrying out all the processes necessary for life."

Technically, the petal as a whole is dead, but the cells within it are more or less still alive for the meantime as they don't die immediately after being plucked. It's like how if you shoot someone in the heart, they're still alive for a moment to a few minutes.

Blood typing can identify if will is the father or not by the composition of the genotype and it’s compatibility within the parents.

Will can not be the parent as there is only one possible genotype composition of blood type AB being i^Ai^B.
