Answer:

<h2>O, A, and B.</h2>

Explanation:

For someone to be type O, that person must have 2 recessive traits for blood type. Let's denote this using the lowercase letter "i," thus making someone with blood type O "ii."

Next the mother is type A. The mother can either be homozygous for the dominant blood type A allele or heterozygous for the trait. This means either of the two following genotypes: AA, or Ai. However, if her child is type O, that means that the mother must have at least one recessive allele, meaning her genotype is "Ai."

Now, let's go to the father. Let's find out his genotype. Start with blood type O. Yes, this works, because the father can donate a recessive allele for blood type to his child. Next, blood type A, which as stated above can be represented by the genotype "Ai" or "AA."  Can Ai work? Yes! So we know that an individual of blood type A can be the father. Same goes for blood type B, as someone with that blood type can be heterozygous for it... IE Bi. Next, blood type AB. This DOES NOT work. Why? Because there is no recessive allele for the father to donate to the child. Therefore, the only blood types that the father can have are O, A, and B.

Conclusion:

Hope you found this helpful. It certainly helped me review :)

Answer:

Examples of cells that are produced through mitosis include cells in the human body for the skin, blood, and muscles.

Explanation:

In this case cells go through different phases called the cell cycle. The "normal" state of a cell is called the "interphase". The genetic material is duplicated during the interphase stage of the cell.

sesenic [268]

Answer:

A. 50, 88, 145, 227

Explanation:

The correct option would be option A.

<u>When something grows exponentially, it means the growth increased at a high rate. More specifically, each rate of increase results in more or less doubling of the preceding rate. For example, if the current value of growth rate is 2 for a substance that is growing exponentially, the next growth rates will be 4, 8, 16, etc.</u>

<em>In this particular illustration, the only option that best fit into an exponential system is option A in which the growth rate more or less doubles each time from 50 to 88, from 88 to 145, and then from 145 to 227.</em>
