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)
Kamar's mother must be either AB or B becausé blood types AB is considered codominant
• Kamar's mother must be AB because blood type AB is inherited from one parent
Kamar's mother must be O because the recessive allele allows for Kamar to get type A from his father
Kamar's mother must be either
AB or A because blood type A is dominant and blood type AB is codominant
Kamar's mother must be either AB or B because blood types A and B are considered codominant.
To determine this, we start by understanding the blood types of Kamar and his father. Kamar's blood type is AB, which means he inherited an A allele from one parent and a B allele from the other parent. As for his father, who has heterozygous A blood type, it means he inherited an A allele from one parent, but we don't know the other allele.
Since Kamar's blood type is AB, it means he must have inherited a B allele from his mother. If his mother had blood type A, she could only pass on an A allele to Kamar, resulting in his blood type being AA. However, this is not the case, as his blood type is AB.
Therefore, we can conclude that Kamar's mother must have blood type B, allowing her to pass on the B allele to Kamar, resulting in his AB blood type.
