Explanation:

The liver is connected to two large blood vessels, the hepatic artery and the portal vein. The hepatic artery carries blood from the aorta to the liver, whereas the portal vein carries blood containing the digested nutrients from the entire gastrointestinal tract, and also from the spleen and pancreas to the liver.

The hepatic veins carry oxygen-depleted blood from the liver to the inferior vena cava. They also transport blood that has been drained from the colon, pancreas, small intestine, and the stomach, and cleaned by the liver. These veins originate from the core vein of the liver lobule, but they do not have any valves.
The hepatic duck: A duct that carries bile from the liver into the common bile duct which conveys it to the duodenum (the upper part of the small intestine).

In humans, there are four blood types: A, B, AB and O. Each parent can give their offspring one of three blood type alleles, IA

Delvig [45]

Answer: One parent is IAi and the other parent is IBi

Explanation: As this trait is codominant, the child can inherited IA, IB or i.

Tina has type O, which means she is ii and her sister is AB, so her genotype is IAIB. Now, to have a child with a recessive trait both parents has to carry at least one allele for the recessive, i. Rosa is type AB which means she had to have inherited one allele IA from one of her parents and the other IB from the other parent. Thus, one parent is IAi and the other is IBi.
