**ABO Blood Type Genetics and Dominance in Hair Traits: Educational Insights**

**Question 9:**
A child has type AB blood. Which of the following statements is true?

- **A)** One of the parents could be type O
- **B)** One of the parents could be A
- **C)** One of the parents could be type B
- **D)** One of the parents could be AB

**Question 10:**
Short hair (S) is dominant to long hair (s). If a short-haired animal of unknown origin is crossed with a long-haired animal and they produce one long-haired and one short-haired offspring, this would indicate that:

- **A)** The short-haired animal was pure-breeding.
- **B)** The short-haired animal was not pure-breeding.
- **C)** The long-haired animal was not pure-breeding.
- **D)** The long-haired animal was pure-breeding.

**Explanation:**

**Blood Type Inheritance (Question 9):**
The ABO blood type system is governed by multiple alleles: A, B, and O. The combination of these alleles dictates the blood type. 

- Type AB blood means the individual has one A allele and one B allele.
- For a child to have type AB blood, one parent must have at least an A allele and the other a B allele. Therefore, the true statements are:
  - **B)** One of the parents could be A.
  - **C)** One of the parents could be type B.
  - **D)** One of the parents could be AB.

Type O (alleles OO) parent cannot contribute an A or B allele, making option A incorrect.

**Dominance in Hair Traits (Question 10):**
Hair length in this genetic context follows Mendelian inheritance, with short hair (S) being dominant over long hair (s).

- If two animals (one short-haired of unknown genotype and one long-haired) produce offspring that include both phenotypes, we can infer the genotypes.
- The appearance of a long-haired offspring (ss) means the short-haired parent must have contributed an 's' allele, indicating that it is heterozygous (Ss).

Thus, the correct statement is:
- **B)** The short-haired animal was not pure-breeding (as it must have been Ss to produce long-haired offspring).

This basic understanding of inheritance usefully demonstrates the principles
