In pre-DNA fingerprint days, blood type was often used in paternity disputes to exclude possible fathers. If the man in question has type B blood, and the child has type A blood, and the mother has type AB blood, can the man be the father of the child? Group of answer choices Yes, but only if he is homozygous for the B allele No Yes, but only if he is heterozygous for the B allele Yes, but only if both of his parents were Type AB

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
