Answer:

C. Both A and B describe errors in the statement.

Explanation:

In fossilization i.e formation of fossils, two terms are used as follows: permineralization and petrification.

- Permineralization is a process whereby the pore spaces of an organism's remains are filled with mineral matter that precipitates from lake and ocean solutions.

- On the contrary, petrifaction or petrification is the process whereby a once-living tissue (matter) are REPLACED by minerals, hence, preserving the organism's structure by turning it into a stone (petros).

According to this question, the student mixed up their definitions by giving the definition of permineralization instead, however, options A and B have described the errors associated with the statement.

In a maternity ward, four babies become accidentally mixed up. The ABO blood types of the four babies are known to be. Baby Jane
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We inherit our blood groups from both parents. Our blood type is controlled by a single gene. This gene displays 3 different allelic pairs which must include A, B or O.  A child is expected to receive one of the three possible allelic pairs from each of the both parents. This means that there are six possible genotype and four possible phenotype for the child.

Given that Christopher's parents (Andersons) are AB and O,Christopher can have a B blood group.

Given that John's parents (Browns) are A and O, it explains how John can have blood group A.

Given that The Christiansons are A and AB, they can give birth to Robin whose blood group is AB.

Since the Dietrichs are O and O, the only possible blood group of their child is O, hence they are definitely the parents of Jane.
