Type A blood is dominant to Type O blood. Is it possible for a man and a woman, each with Type A blood, to have a child that is Type O?Yes, if the man is heterozygousYes, if the woman is heterozygousYes, if both parents are heterozygousNo, it is impossible2. According to Mendel, the traits observed in offspring result from a blending of parental traits. Therefore, a tall pea plant crossed with a short pea plant will produce a pea plant of intermediate height.TrueFalse3. In cells, long pieces of DNA are organized into individual units called-microtubulesRNAnucleichromosomes4. Down Syndrome results from-an extra copy of chromosome 21a missing copy of chromosome 21a specific gene mutationnegative environmental exposures during gestation (such as to drugs, alcohol or cigarette smoke)5. During traditional genetic testing, an individual's entire genome is sequenced.TrueFalse6.
