I just have a question, are you in seventh grade? I keep my binders from past years and I remember learning this, but don’t know if that’s the grade I learned it in, are you?
Answer: Fewer harmful mutations are inherited by sexual reproduction than by asexual reproduction.
Explanation:
A germline mutation is the mutation in the germ cells (of the fully developed sperm and ovum) of the parents. When the affected parents undergoes with the sexual reproduction the mutations are passed from the parents to the offsprings. When either the mutated oocyte or mutated sperm meet to form a zygote the precursor of new life. Thus few mutations are inherited by sexual reproduction than by asexual reproduction.
Answer:
1/8 (12.5 %)
Explanation:
Cross: IAi X IAIB
F1: 1/4 IAIA 1/4 IAIB 1/4 IAi 1/4 IBi
Phenotypes:
- IAIA and IAi >> type A blood
- IBi >> type B blood
- IAIB >> type AB blood
Phenotypic frequency type A blood: 1/2 (i.e., 1/4 IAIA + 1/4 IAi) >>
Probability to have 3 offspring with type A blood: 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8
The human ABO blood group is a system consisting of there different alleles: A, B, and O. This system is used in genetics as an example of codominance because both A and B alleles are expressed in heterozygous individuals (i.e., IAIB), whereas only the allele A is expressed in individuals that have A and O alleles (since O allele is recessive to the A and B alleles).
