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.

How are temperature and salinity related in a thermohaline circulation pattern?
katovenus [111]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Thermohaline circulation is the circulation of currents in the deep ocean due to the density of the water which is controlled by heat and salinity. Water in the ocean posses layers or defined boundaries based on the density which provides driving force to the deep ocean currents.

Formation of these layers is due to the sinking of the cold water in the basin which and ice formation which leaves the salt in the seawater ,therefore, increasing salinity. This increased salinity increases its density and the surface water is replaced by the sinking water causing deep ocean currents.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.
