Answer:

The traits for blood type and Rh are the result of the presence or absence of proteins on the outside of erythrocytes, called surface antigens, being the antigens A and B, for the blood group, and the Rhesus factor for the Rh.

Explanation:

<u>Blood group </u>

The blood type or group is determined by the presence or absence of antigens A and B, which is determined by three genes A, B and O:

  • Blood type A has antigens A, with a genotype A/A or A/O, which in turn is able to reject the presence of B antigen by producing anti-B antibodies.
  • Type B blood has only B antigens, with possible genotype B/B or B/O. It can produce anti-A antibodies.
  • The AB blood type has both antigens, with an A/B genotype, having both antigens do not react to the presence of an antigen.
  • Blood type O is characterized by the absence of surface antigens, and its genotype is expressed as O/O.

<u>Rh factor</u>

The Rh factor, which owes its name to the rhesus monkey study, is also a surface protein - the Rh antigen - that determines this characteristic in the blood.

The nomenclature used for this type of blood uses the signs "+" or "-" after the Type ABO, indicating the presence or absence of the Rh factor, respectively.

  • Rh+ blood has the Rh, D or Du antigen on the surface of the erythrocyte.
  • The Rh- doesn't possess the antigen, and is able to make antibodies against the Rh antigen.

The importance of knowing the presence or absence of erythrocyte surface antigens is that it determines the compatibility of blood type, and the possibility of transfusions. The ORh- blood type is currently known to be a universal donor and AB+ is a recipient of any blood type.

Which of the following is not being undertaken to reduce the risks to human health from pesticides?
Andru [333]

<span>Pesticide use is harmful to human agriculture because it contains an antifreezing chemical (present in transportation vehicles). When the chemical seeps into the leaves of the plant, it is distributed all over its body and remains there. The chemical may still be present there when we are going to the plant.</span>

What is the velocity of a wave
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

go help me on my 3 question please

Wave velocity in common usage refers to speed, although, properly, velocity implies both speed and direction. The velocity of a wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency (number of vibrations per second) and is independent of its intensity.
