7. Why is it impossible for a parent with type AB blood to have a baby with type O blood?

This is because a parent with type AB blood has both A and B antigens therefore, the child must inherit either A or B antigen from the parent.

Explanation: In ABO blood type, blood types are classified on the basis of the antigens present in the red blood cells. There are two types of antigens: A and B antigens.

A blood type is so named because it has A antigens, B blood type has B antigens, AB blood type has both A and B antigens while O blood type has no antigens.

Each of these blood types is controlled by two alleles, and children inherit one allele from each parent. If a parent has AB blood type, none of his offsprings will have O blood type because each offspring must inherit either antigen A or B from this parent.

homeostasis is the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. and this is how it applies to the integumentary system. back to top. skin functions in homeostasis include protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory reception, water balance, synthesis of vitamins and hormones, and absorption of materials. when body temperature falls, the sweat glands constrict and sweat production decreases.
