The mother has the alleles A and M, given that her blood type is A MM. Since the child has blood type AB MN, then the child has the alleles A, B, M, N. However, the alleles B and N, cannot have come from his/her mother and must have come from the father. Therefore, we are looking for a father with the alleles B and N. Based on this conclusion, the child's father is either Tom (with blood type AB MN) or Bill (with blood type B MN).
<span>During a decomposition reaction, a compund partitions into it's components. This is a type of a chemical reaction where a larger/more complex compund is broken down into simpler elements or compounds which were initially combined in a chemical reaction.This type of reaction often requires an energy source such as heat or light to break down the compound.</span>
