Answer:

a. He is missing a control group of mice that did not receive the new antibiotic.

Explanation:

In any experiment especially experiments testing effectiveness of a drug, there should be a control group.

The importance of a control group is to minimize the effects of other variables other than the independent variable hence increasing reliability of the results.

in this case, a group of mice that did not receive the new antibiotic would have served as the control group.

There may also be a form of ABO incompatibility. The correct answer is that both of her children are type A, Rh negative, and the mother is a type B, Rh positive.
