Kamar wants to know his mother's blood type. Kamar knows that his blood type is AB and his father’s blood type is heterozygous A. What can Kamar assume about his mother’s blood type?(1 point)
Responses

Kamar’s mother must be O because the recessive allele allows for Kamar to get type A from his father

    • Response: Kamar’s mother must be either AB or B because blood types AB is considered codominant.
  3. Which of the following best describes natural selection?

    • Response: The process by which organisms that are better adapted to the environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
  4. The different variants of a trait available to a gene are called

    • Response: alleles.
  5. What is one similarity between genetic drift and gene flow?
