The coral fossil would be a better estimate of past water depth. This is because most corals inhabit shallow water reefs, less than 150 feet deep. In contrast, pelagic fish may inhabit any open water (pelagic) part of the ocean, with depths ranging anywhere from a couple of hundred feet deep to miles in depth.

explain why a father with blood group AB cannot donate for a child with blood group O when he marries a woman with blood group O
denis-greek [22]

The odds are astronomical for a father with AB(IV) to have an O(I) child. The only possible way for this phenomenon to occur is if there was a nondisjunction in the ovogenesis for the 9th chromosome and the father also had a nondisjunction for the same chromosome(A sperm cell with no 9th chromosome fertilized an ovum with two 9 chromosomes).

A person with AB cannot donate to a person with O because the receiver has antibodies(alpha and beta) that bind to the antigens on the AB blood cells, causing death.

Function in the cell cycle. Explain why interphase is important before mitosis begins.
Luda [366]

Answer:

During interphase, the cell copies its DNA in preparation for mitosis. Interphase is the 'daily living' or metabolic phase of the cell, in which the cell obtains nutrients and metabolizes them, grows, replicates its DNA, and conducts other "normal" cell functions. This phase was formerly called the resting phase.
