Genetics, blood type gene has two alleles, each allele has genotype A, B or O. The A and B are dominant, and O is recessive. So allele A combined with allele O is type A. Similarly, BO is type B, AA is type A, BB is type B, OO is type O, and AB is typeAB.

If both parents have type A blood, then the alleles could be AA or AO, thus the allele A frequency is 75%, allele O frequency is 25% for both parents. 
So the chance of alleles OO is 25% × 25% = 6.25%, 
alleles AA is 75% × 75% = 56.25%, 
alleles AO is 75% × 25% = 18.75%, 
alleles OA is 25% × 75% = 18.75%.
Since AA, AO and OA are blood type A, and OO is blood type O, thus their child has 6.25% chance to be blood type O and 93.75% chance to be blood type A. 

The +/- is called the rhesus factor, with + being dominant, and - being recessive.
So if both parents are -, the kids are always -, otherwise the kids might be + or -.

Compare and contrast the extracellular matrix of animals and the cell wall of plants. Consider their functions and the types of
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The plant cell wall is strengthened by the molecular structure of cellulose. Cellulose is made up of ß-glucose arranged upside down, this arrangement aided hydrogen bonds between the hydrogen ions of the  hydroxyl group and oxygen of the of the ring   of same  betta -glucose.

The aggregation of the hydrogen  bonds give bundles of  strong tensile  strength of cellulose called the  microfibrils (of 60-70 celluose molecules).They are  held together in bundled called fibers.T<u>hese is the source of  plant cell walls  strength. </u>

<u />

Collagen is the main extracellur matrix (EM) in animal cells.It is a glycoprotein made up of 25%of body protein of animals.Each collagen molecule is made of helix shaped ,three polypeptide chains, wound around each other to form<u> triple helix.</u>The bonds  holding helix together are hydrogen and covalent bonds.

Each triple helix is attached to adjacent collagen molecule, parallel  to it. The covalent bonds formed a cross link which held  the collagen molecules together forming FIBRILS.  This gives flexibility to collagen, while maitaing strong tensile strength. This is what is responsible for the structural strength of cell membrane .

.The  EM,is  futher reinforced with  carbohydrate molecules(proteoglycans) which<u> aided in water movements by  osmosis following  sodium movements into the matrix.</u>

Answer:

Individuals that are well adapted to their environment will survive and reproduce

According to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, organisms that possess heritable traits that enable them to better adapt to their environment compared with other members of their species will be more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass more of their genes on to the next generation.

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

homeostasis

Explanation:

Homeostasis has to do with processes that maintain the internal balance within an organism. It can succinctly be defined as the process of regulating an organism's internal environment. The process of homeostasis is very important in the maintenance of important indicators of balance in the body such as body temperature, body pH, etc.

Hence, when blood pH becomes overly acidic, respiration and kidney function change to bring the acidity back to its normal pH level of 7.4. This is a homeostatic response.
