Could a child with type B blood with a mother of type A blood have a father with type A blood? Explain your answer utilizing Punnett squares.

No, the child cannot have a father with blood type A.

Explanation: The child whose blood type is B with a mother whose blood type is A can only have a father whose blood type is either B or AB. Each blood type is controlled by a pair of gene, a child inherits one from the father and one from the mother. For a child to have a blood type B when his mother has a blood type A, he must have inherited the B blood type from his father.

the abdomen (less formally called the belly, stomach, tummy or midriff) constitutes the part of the body between the thorax (chest) and pelvis, in humans and in other vertebrates. the region occupied by the abdomen is termed the abdominal cavity. the stomach secretes acid and enzymes that digest food. ridges of muscle tissue called rugae line the stomach. the stomach muscles contract periodically, churning food to enhance digestion. the pyloric sphincter is a muscular valve that opens to allow food to pass from the stomach to the small intestine.

imagine a line passing through the center of earth that goes through both the north pole and the south pole. this imaginary line is called an axis. earth spins around its axis, just as a top spins around its spindle. this spinning movement is called earth's rotation. at the same time that the earth spins on its axis, it also orbits, or revolves around the sun. this movement is called revolution.
