Which of these phenotypes could be the blood type of a child with a father of blood type AA and a mother of blood type AA? a. B c. A b. AB d. O 4. Which of these statements is NOT true? a. Homologous autosomes look alike. b. If you are a female, your 23rd pair of chromosomes is XX. c. The 23rd pair of chromosomes is exactly the same in human males and females. d.
