This information is not enough to tell which of the traits-blood group A or O is dominant.
It is known that blood groups A and B are codominant, which means both will express if found together in a heterozygote. However, blood group O is recessive. But from this information, you can conclude that blood group O is dominant. Why is that so?
Let's imagine that father's genotype is AA and mothers' genotype OO and cross them:
Parents:               AA    x    OO
Offspring:      AO    AO   AO    AO
Since we have information that daughter has blood group O, we can conclude that O is dominant over A and mask it. This is not true! In this case, the daughter will have blood group A.

Mother's genotype surely is OO (because O allele is recessive, so to express a recessive trait both alleles must be recessive). But, the father cannot be AA, because it must give O allele to the daughter so she can have genotype OO and blood group O. So, the father's genotype is AO.  Let's take a look at that crossing:
Parents:         AO   x    OO
Offspring:   AO   AO   OO   OO
Thus, in this case, daughter can have genotype OO and blood group O.

When two ova are released and both are fertilized by a sperm, what type of twins result?​?
Anika [276]
Fraternal twins are resulted.
Two ova are fertilised by two sperms thus forming two different zygotes known as dizygotic contrary to only one zygote splitting into two to form genetically identical twins.
Fraternal twins are non-genetically identical twins.

Hope it helped!

In four o’clock plants, there are three phenotypes for flower color but only two alleles. In one population, q2 = 0.169, and the
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Answer:

The correct answer would be 0.589

The Hardy-Weinberg equation is p + q = 1

In addition, the frequencies of p and q in a Hardy-Weinberg population remain the same generations over generations.

The value of q⁸ is given as 0.169

So, the value of q =  ⇒ 0.411

Thus, the value of p = 1 - 0.411 ⇒ 0.589.

So, the expected value of p would be 0.589
