Answer:

D. A human newborn has type O blood, and its mother also has type O blood.

Step-by-step explanation:

Heredity, or genetic inheritance, is a biological mechanism for transmitting characteristics from one individual to another (from parent to child specifically). The "bridge" that transmits such information is the gene, so everything happens in a genetic process.

Heredity is one of the foundations of genetics, a branch of biology that studies how biological inheritance occurs. This is how certain characteristics that differentiate a group are transmitted from one individual to another. A typical example of this phenomenon are the characteristics you have in common with your parents, such as eye color, hair texture, blood type and others.
