Explanation:

Yes they can. An AB parent can indeed sometimes have an O child. But it is by no means common. In fact it would be fair to say that it is exceedingly rare.

The one exception is in certain Asian groups. Some of these folks have a rare version of the ABO blood type gene called cis-AB. People with this gene version have an AB blood type but can easily have an O child.

It’s not common, but yes it’s possible. Though, you need to get an O allele from both parents to have blood type O, there are a few ways:
-If that parent is cis-AB (that is carrying A and B alleles on the same chromosome) and the other allele is O, the parent will have the alleles (AB) O and may pass the O allele to his/her child.

Complete the sentence about Alfred wegener's continental drift story.

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The presence of similar fossils(B) and rock formations(C) on several different continents supports the theory of Continental Drift.

Explanation:

Alfred Wegener observed fossils of organisms that were not supposed to have survived in the climate of where they were found. Other key findings is that he found fossils of organisms that were found in one continent and the same fossils found on another continent whose edges seem to fit together.

He also observed rock formations or stratas of mountain ranges in one continent seem to fit together with another continent.

Added note:

Even if Alfred Wegener had these evidences to present, his theory of Continental Drift was rejected mainly because he could not explain the mechanism of how the super continent (Pangaea) split.
