Explain the antigen-antibody response as it relates to blood groups

Biology
1 answer:
Arisa [49]3 years ago
4 0
Antigens are surface proteins found on all cells including blood cells. In the case of blood groups, an individual's blood type reflects the presence or absence of specific antigens. An antigen-antibody response is initiated if the individual receives a transfusion of blood containing antigens that it identifies as being "foreign." Antibodies found in a person's blood bind to the foreign antigen, causing agglutination, or clumping. The antigen-antibody complexes clog the small blood vessels, and the foreign RBCs are lysed, releasing hemoglobin into the bloodstream. The most serious complication of a transfusion reaction is kidney failure due to blockage of the kidney tubules by the hemoglobin molecules.

Trophic cascades are events which result in serious distortions in an ecosystem as a result of the removal or addition of a top predator.

To test for the hypothesis of keystone species and trophic cascades, the wolves in another region can be removed or trees can be reintroduced to see the effect on the ecosystem.

Explain the term "Poly Inheritance" and give an example of a human trait that is controlled in such manner
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Polygenic inheritance occurs when one characteristic is controlled by two or more genes. Often the genes are large in quantity but small in effect. Some examples include height, skin color, eye color and weight.

- In polygenic inheritance the "dominant" capital genes are additive, each capital gene adding one unit of color to the genotype.With more capital genes, the phenotype (appearance) gets darker.
