Answer:

Potential father 2

The child has one "I^B" allele. The potential father 2 carries "I^B" allele which is absent in the potential father 1.

Explanation:

ABO blood group in human beings is regulated by three alleles. I^A and I^B alleles are codominant over each other and are dominant to the allele "i". The genotype of the mother with blood type "O" is "ii" while that of the baby is "I^Bi". The baby would have received the allele "i" from the mother and the allele "I^B" from the father.

The genotype of the potential father 1 can be "I^AI^A" or "I^Ai" while the genotype of the potential father 2 is "I^AI^B". Since the potential father 1 does not carry allele "I^B", he cannot be the father of the child. On the other hand, the potential father 2 carries one "I^B" allele and therefore, is most likely to have a child with blood type "B" if the mother has the blood type "O"

<span>Now that franks in my body, my non-specific immune responses will automatically target him. once my white blood cells notice him they'll begin their counterattack. the basophils in my bloodstream will release a chemical substance called histamine. Histamines cause inflammation and increased blood flow. This brings neutrophils and monocytes to the site. Neutrophils are attracted by inflammation and infection. Like basophils, they, too, contain granules filled with powerful chemicals that are released when they encounter foreign invaders. They can also gobble up these antigens and kill them before they enter the bloodstream.</span>
