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 -.

Why is the movement of basic elements in<br> ecosystems different from the transfer of<br> energy?
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Chemical nutrients and energy tend to flow in the same direction for most of an ecosystem. The big difference is that the chemical nutrients are ultimately recycled in the ecosystem while the energy is ultimately lost from the ecosystem to the universe at large. Energy in any ecosystem ultimately comes from the Sun

Which traits are characteristic of single-celled organisms?
omeli [17]
B and C)
They often obtain most of their nutrients through the cell membrane as diffusion is able to take place passively and so at no energy loss to the organism, this can be essential for a single celled organism as they are able to produce a lot less energy due to having fewer mitochondria in comparison to multicellular organisms. 
They also require few resources as single celled organisms are very small and so require only a small amount of raw resources for respiration because they have a small energy demand to meet.
