Earths outer layer if we consider physical properties and not chemistry is what

Biology
1 answer:
julsineya [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Earth's outer layer is called lithosphere- the word which originated from two Greek words lithos and sphaeros, meaning rocks and sphere respectively.

If we talk about physical properties of lithosphere it is the part of earth on which we are living. comprising the  uppermost part of the mantle and the crust, that is rigid solid and brittle.

Lithosphere can further be subdivided in different layers like crust, mantle, outer and inner core. Crust comprises the outermost layer of earth,

There are rocks of different types and densities found on earth, If we talk about continents, they are present of granite layer of crust. Crust is the only functional part of the earth's layers that enables the survival of life on it, and provides the living organisms with anchorage, shelter and food. Some important physical characteristics of lithosphere are:

The blood Group of Mother is O. The Blood Group of the Child is B. Man Exonerated If He to Blood Group?​
aalyn [17]

Answer:

If the mother's blood type is O, and the child's blood type is B, a man would be exonerated from paternity if he has blood type A or O.

Explanation:

In the above case, if a mother has blood type O and her child has blood type B, a man can be exonerated from paternity only if his blood type is A or O, and responsible if he is type B or AB.

The blood type is defined by the presence of surface antigens in the red blood cell, called A and B. The presence of each antigen is determined by a gene present on the parental chromosomes.

  • <em> </em><u><em>Blood type A</em></u><em> corresponds to the presence of gene A, and its genotypic expression can be A/A or A/O. </em>
  • <u><em>Type B blood</em></u><em>, whose genotype is B/B or B/O, is due to the presence of a gene containing the B antigen. </em>
  • <u><em>AB blood</em></u><em> —due to codominance— has one gene for A and another for B, with genotype A/B. </em>
  • <em>Blood type O, characterised by the absence of surface antigens, behaves like a recessive trait, which only manifests itself in the absence of surface antigens A and B. The genotype is O/O. </em>

By making a hypothetical crossing between mother and man, one can observe why he can be exonerated.

<u>Man with blood type O </u>

♂ O|O

♀ O|O

Alleles     O      O

O           O|O   O|O

O           O|O   O|O

The only possibility, in this case, is to have children with type O blood. No chance of children B.

<u>Male with blood type A </u>

♂ A|O

♀ O|O

Alleles     A        O

O            A|O    O|O

O            A|O    O|O

In this case there is a 50% chance that the children will be blood type A and 50% chance that they will be O. No chance of children B.

In the case of a man A|A the result is 100% probability of children A|O, and no probability of children B.

<em>So, a </em><em>man with blood types A (any genotype) and O, can be exonerated from paternity</em><em>, since it is </em><em>impossible for him to have a child of blood type B, when the mother is of blood type O</em>.
