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.

¿Cómo se le llama a los que pudieron dar origen a los seres vivos actuales?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Una de las características de los seres vivos se encuentra en su composición biológica, dado que todos ellos están constituidos por cuatro bioelementos esenciales que se encuentran de manera abundante en la naturaleza:

Carbono

Hidrógeno

Oxígeno

Nitrógeno

Estos bioelementos o elementos biogénicos están presentes en las biomoléculas, que son las que dan forma a la materia que constituye a los seres vivos. Estas moléculas están formadas, a su vez, por la unión de átomos.

De estos bioelementos, es importante destacar el papel del hidrógeno y el oxígeno, que dan lugar a la molécula del agua. El agua, o H2O, juega un papel fundamental en el funcionamiento de los seres vivos.

Biologists sometimes say that “natural selection depends on the specific environment where a species lives.” What does this stat
denis23 [38]

Answer: Natural selection is one of the forces of evolution and the enviroment where the species lives is the selection agent. For example, suppose a mosquitoes population in a environment free from insecticides, in this environment there's a high frequency of non-resistant mosquitoes because the environment is not  exerting any pressure on the resistence trait. But when the environment changes and we use a insecticide upon the mosquitoes population, the populations changes because the non-resistant ones die but those resistant survive and beggin to reproduce more effectively. That's natural selection, differences in survival and reproduction between individuals with different phenotypes (traits) and this differences depend of environmental changes.
