Each person can have one of four possible blood types: A, B, AB, or O. Blood type A means that the A antigen is present on the red blood cell surface. Blood type B means that the B antigen is present on red blood cells' surfaces. Blood type AB means that both the A antigen and the B antigen are present on the red blood cells' surfaces. Blood type O means that no antigens are present on the red blood cells' surfaces. Someone with genotype A/A or A/O will have type A blood. Someone with genotype B/B or B/O will have type B blood. Someone with genotype A/B will have AB blood, and someone with genotype O/O will have type O blood. Assume that blood type is not a sex-linked trait. A mother with genotype A/O and a father with genotype A/B could NOT have a child with which blood type?

• A. A
• B. B
• C. O
• D. Not enough information

Which of the following is true about competition?

• A. Competition can occur within a species and between species.
• B. One species will eventually out compete the other and thus one species will go extinct.
• C. The term only refers to animals and not plants.

• B. Amino acids would not bind to tRNA molecules.
• C. The tRNA reserves in the cell would eventually be depleted.
