  1. <u>Mitochondria:</u> carry out cellular respiration.
  2. <u>Chloroplasts:</u> carry out photosynthesis.
  3. <u>Mitochondria:</u> found in plant and animal cells.
  4. <u>Chloroplasts:</u> produce carbohydrates used as source of food for most living things.  
  5. <u>Mitochondria:</u> abundant in human muscle cells.
  6. <u>Chloroplasts:</u> not found in animal cells.
  7. <u>Chloroplasts:</u> contain chlorophyll.

<h3>What is a cell?</h3>

A cell can be defined as the fundamental functional, structural and smallest unit of life, which is found within the body of an organism.

Some examples of cell organelles that are found in the body of an organism include the following:

  • Mitochondria.
  • Nucleus.
  • Endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
  • Vesicles.
  • Cytoplasm.
  • Cell membrane.
  • Chromosome.
  • Golgi apparatus (bodies).
  • Chloroplast

<h3>What is mitochondria?</h3>

Mitochondria can be defined as one of the cell organelles that is found in the body of a living organism.

Also, mitochondria is known as the powerhouse because it is saddled with responsibility of providing all the energy required in the cell, especially by transforming energy forms through series of chemical reactions.

A man who has type B blood has children with a woman who has type A blood. A. If they are both heterozygous for this trait, pred
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

The possible blood types of their children are: type AB (iAiB), type A (iAi), type B (iBi), type O (ii)

Explanation:

Blood type in humans is controlled by a gene with multiple alleles. Alleles iA and iB are dominant over allele i but co-dominant. The following blood types are encoded by the following alleles:

Blood type AB - iAiB

Blood type A - iAiA or iAi

Blood type B - iBiB or iBi

Blood type O - ii

According to this question, a man who has type B blood has children with a woman who has type A blood. They are both heterozygous, meaning that the man's genotype is "iBi" while the woman's genotype is "iAi". Both parents will produce gametes as follows:

iBi = iB and i

iAi = iA and I

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following possible blood types are produced in the offsprings:

- type AB (iAiB)

- type A (iAi)

- type B (iBi)

- type O (ii)
