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"

I am very sorry, but all I can provide is that Dawn must have used the balance incorrectly or her other classmates didn't account for certain factors that Dawn did. I would really love to help, but I would need more information.

You’re doing a clinical at the local hospital when you meet Mr. T, a 23-year-old man who has suffered a complete spinal injury a
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

In the given case, it is clear that the sympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system is on in Mr. T. It can be suggested due to the increase in heart rate and appearance of cold and pale skin in the patient's upper body. The sympathetic nervous system is the component of the ANS, which is an extensive network of neurons that monitor's the involuntary processes of the body.  

Mainly, the sympathetic nervous system monitors the features of the body associated with the fight or flight response like increasing heart rate, mobilizing fat reserves, and discharging adrenaline. Apart from this, the increased heart rate and vasoconstriction will assist in elevating the patient's blood pressure.
