Amother is unsure who the father is of her newborn. before doing dna analysis, a simple blood test is performed to give some preliminary information. in this case, two men are the potential father so their blood is also collected. here is the summary: mom—o, the baby—b, potential father 1—a, potential father 2—ab. which man is the most likely father? write an explanation to justify your answer.

Potential father 2

The child has one "I^B" allele. The potential father 2 carries "I^B" allele which is absent in the potential father 1.

Explanation:

ABO blood group in human beings is regulated by three alleles. I^A and I^B alleles are codominant over each other and are dominant to the allele "i". The genotype of the mother with blood type "O" is "ii" while that of the baby is "I^Bi". The baby would have received the allele "i" from the mother and the allele "I^B" from the father.

The genotype of the potential father 1 can be "I^AI^A" or "I^Ai" while the genotype of the potential father 2 is "I^AI^B". Since the potential father 1 does not carry allele "I^B", he cannot be the father of the child. On the other hand, the potential father 2 carries one "I^B" allele and therefore, is most likely to have a child with blood type "B" if the mother has the blood type "O"

Father 2 is the answer

Explanation:

This is the answer because father 2 has an AB blood type that can go with the mothers and the baby's

the answer is false?

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]
