Answer:

No, they shouldn't because they´re incompatible

Explanation:

Compatibility among blood groups is given by the presence of <em>antigens</em> in the <em>red blood cells</em>, those are controlled by genes that can be either allelic or linked by proximity in the same chromosome. There are 33 blood groups system and approximately 300 antigens. The grouping is based on patterns of reaction in antisera testing. The most relevant blood groups systems for compatibility are:

ABO system: Refers to the presence of antibodies in the serum; A have antigen <em>A and contains antibodies against B; B have antigen B and contains antibodies against A, O doesn´t have antigens but contains antibodies against both, and AB have both antigens but doesn´t contain antibodies</em>

RH system: Rhesus system: Indicates the presence or absence of the immunogenic D-antigen, as RH+ or RH-.

<em> </em>

<em>Based on these concepts, an </em><u><em>O donor can only accept O blood type</em></u><em>, because it has antibodies for either A, B or AB, and transfusion will trigger </em><u><em>immunological response</em></u><em>, however, O blood type can donate to either group.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

First, we may wonder what Pangaea Ultima is? In simple terms, according to Geologist, Christopher Scotese, he hypothesized that the structure of our continent as we know today will be restructured or merged together into a single contiguous continent.

In regards to the Philippines, it is believed that it will be no longer a country but will be crushed and turned into <u>a mountain range</u> that will exist between Australia and Eurasia.

Thus, we can conclude that if the Philipines become a "mountain range", this will result in people's livelihood been affected; furthermore, they'll have to migrate to other countries, affecting transportation, biodiversity and even health because of the change in temperature.

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

<u>submerging rift zone</u> due to slab pull

Explanation:

  • It is a low lying area found on both land and seas of oceanic ridges subduction zones along the convergent plate boundaries which are sited for long-lived hot spots in volcanic ocean basins and transforms faults are a result of divergent boundaries.
  • As the older and denser rocks sink deeper into the mantel and fall along the zone of hot spots. Grabens being an example of a rift valley on land is the center of mega-earthquake going deep down to the center of the mantel.
  • Overplayed by the lighter and less dense material or the slabs made up of silicon layers. Impacted by slab push and pull. This process has its history with the isostatic movements of the earth as the earth keeps in balance the cycle of geomaterials.
