Gametes are an organism's reproductive cells. They are also referred to as sex cells. Female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm. Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each

In a paternity case, a woman (blood type O) claims a man (type A) whose mother is O to be the father of her
tangare [24]

Answer:

Yes, the mother's claim might be correct.

Please find the genotype of the parents and the cross below

Explanation:

Blood group in humans is controlled by three alleles namely; iA, iB, and i. Alleles iA and iB are dominant over allele i but co-dominant when together i.e. iAiB

Based on this, below are the blood types of an individual with the possible genotype;

Blood type A - iAiA or iAi

Blood type B - iBiB or iBi

Blood type AB - iAiB

Blood type O - ii

According to this question involving a paternity case, a woman with blood type O claims a man with blood type A whose mother is type O to be the father of her child. The woman has a genotype 'ii' while the man has a heterozygous genotype 'iAi' because his mother will contribute the 'i' allele.

Hence, using the genotype of the woman (ii) and man (iAi) in a cross as follows; ii × iAi (see attached image for punnet square), the following proportion of offsprings will likely be produced:

(2) iAi - blood type A

(2) ii - blood type O

Therefore, the woman's claim that the man is the father of her child with blood type O (ii) is most likely correct.

According to the ____________ theory of biological aging, dna in body cells is gradually damaged through spontaneous or external
aliina [53]

The Cross-Linkage Theory or also referred to as the glycosylation theory of aging was discovered or proposed by Johan Bjorksten in the 1940s. According to this theory, the aggregation of cross-linked proteins can damage cells and tissues this slowing down the bodily processes that eventually results to aging. In recent studies, cross-linking is associated with age-related changes in the studied proteins. Furthermore, this theory stresses out that the binding of glucose to proteins can cause various problems. Once the said binding occurs, the protein becomes impaired which leads to its performance inefficiency. Living a longer life would also mean increasing the possibility of oxygen-glucose meeting and protein. Some of the known cross-linking disorders include senile cataract and the appearance of tough, leathery, yellow skin.
