Answer: Mary's parents' genotype are Aa and AA.

Explanation: Suppose the recessive blood disorder has a genotype of aa.

Mary's husband's genotype, as he has the trait, is aa. Both of their children also have it, so they are aa as well. To have a child with this genotype, Mary must have been a carrier, so her genotype is Aa.

Now, for Mary to be a carrier and since none of her siblings has the disorder,  one of her parents must be heterozygous for the trait (Aa), while the other is homozygous for the trait (Aa).

In other words, Mary's parents' genotypes are Aa and AA.

TRUE OR FALSE<br> Oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream in the trachea?
Arte-miy333 [17]

False. Oxygen is absorbed in the alveoli sacs of the lungs.

Upon inhalation Air must first pass through the larynx and down to the trachea, which then splits off into two separate bronchial tubes, the bronchial tubes divide into smaller air passages known as the bronchi and those into even smaller bronchioles. The bronchioles end in tiny sacs called the alveoli which transfer the oxygen from the inhaled air to the bloodstream.
