The other type of cell division, meiosis, ensures that humans have the same number of chromosomes in each generation. It is a two-step process that reduces the chromosome number by half—from 46 to 23—to form sperm and egg cells.

What is on a transplanted organ that causes the transplant recipient's body to reject it?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens

Explanation:

The process in which recipient body rejects the transplanted organ is called a allograft rejection or transplantation rejection.

A transplanted organ contains Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens which are required to be accepted by the recipient's body to function properly but T cells in recipient's body become alloreactive and recognize MHC antigens (donor-derived antigens) as foreign and starts making antibodies against it. Which means the recipient's body is rejecting the  transplanted organ.

Hence, the correct answer is "Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens".

If someone who is homozygous for an autosomal recessive disorder mates with a person who does
slamgirl [31]

They have a zero percent chance of developing the disease

All the offspring will be carriers of the mutated gene but none of them will show any phenotype associated with the recessive allele. This is because they all will have the dominant allele that will mask the effects of the recessive allele of the gene.

Explanation:

Autosomal means that the allele is not on the X or Y sex chromosomes hence it is not a sex-linked gene. Male and female offspring have equal chances of acquiring the allele of the genes.  

Let us assume that the dominant allele is coded by B while that of the recessive is coded by b. The <em>attached</em> Punnet square will show the Mendelian  inheritance based on the information from the question.

Therefore, all the offspring will be carriers of the mutated gene but none of them will show any characteristics of the disorder (phenotype) associated with the recessive allele. This is because they will all have the dominant allele that will mask the effects of the recessive allele of the gene.

ella [17]

this is a region in which cold air clashes with warm air. While there does tend to be a strong temperature gradient along fronts in the plains this explanation only touches the surface to why tornadoes are common in the plains.

A tornado requires a parent thunderstorm. Thus, an environment conducive to tornadoes must also be conducive to thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are much more common in certain locations. Thunderstorms are not nearly as common to the west of the plains as they are across the plains and to the east of the plains. The Gulf coast region has the most thunderstorms.
