3. Could a man with type AB blood be the father of a child with type O blood? Explain your answer utilizing Punnett squares (see Ch 29 in the text for an example).

No

Explanation:

Both A alleles and B alleles are dominant over the O alleles. This means that both parents must have an O allele present to even have a chance of having a child with type O blood. Lets say the mother has type O blood with the father having type AB blood. The possible combination would be: AO, BO, AO, BO. The punnett square should look like this:

        A          B

O     AO        BO

O     AO        BO

prophase: we can observe the chromosomes to coil up and condense. they become visible. nuclear membrane and envelope disintigrate.s

metaphase: chromosomes align at the center, the metaphase plate. spindle fibers attach to centromeres of the sister chromatids. they meet at kinetochores.

anaphase: sister chromatids are pulled towards each opposing centromere, set on different poles.

telophase: chromosomes are now clustered up only on either sides of the cell. nuclear membranes reform, and a new cell wall forms along the cell plate. this will lead to cytokinesis, the process that divides the cell membrane and forms the cell wall.

the correct option is option d
