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 -.

Summarize Mendel's experiment. ( Mendel's Peas)
Anit [1.1K]
Gregor Mendel lived in an Austrian monastery and tended the monastery garden. In 1865, through his observations of the garden pea plants that grew there, Mendel developed three basic principles that—although ignored at the time by his scientific colleagues—would later become the foundation for the new science of genetics.Every pea plant contains both male and female reproductive parts and will normally reproduce through self-pollination.

There are 04 kinds of anthrax: cutaneous, inhalation, gastrointestinal, and injection.

Anthrax is cured by antibiotics.

Thus,  He kept rod-shaped bacteria and supposed they caused anthrax.
