This state is characteristic for recessive traits. For an individual to express a recessive trait, it must have two recessive alleles (one of two or more alternative forms of a gene) of the responsible gene. But, if it has one recessive allele and one dominant allele, it will not have the trait, but he will be called a carrier. So, it seems like the trait "disappeared" but still it is "carried" in the genome. However, if its offspring has two recessive alleles and express the trait, it will <span>seem </span>like the trait "reappeared".

People with type ab blood are considered the "universal recipient" for transfusions because their blood is plentiful in a and b

Murrr4er [49]

The correct answer is their blood lacks A or B antibodies.

People with type AB blood have A and B antigenes on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). Antigen AB has no antibodies, thus, transfusion can be considered safe ( the serum of the recipient does not contain antibodies for the blood cell antigens of the donor).

Which example shows an organism maintaining homeostasis?

Naddik [55]

The example that shows an organism maintaining homeostasis is b. a person sweating on a hot day. Homeostasis is an organism's ability to maintain a stable internal environment irrespective of the external environment. When a person's body overheats, the body releases water as perspiration or sweat to cool itself down. Another example is when a person gets cold, the hair on his arms and legs, stand up straight - to trap air circulating round his body, and heat it up.
