Answer:

Mutations arise as a result of changes in the normal DNA sequence either by mistake or environmental factors. Mutations in the ABO allele can lead to different blood types other than that which is expected as a result of the parental genetic makeup.

Explanation:

The ABO gene resides on chromosome 9 and it has 3 alleles- the A allele, which encodes glycosyltransferase which makes the A antigen, the B allele which encodes a different glycosyltransferase that adds d-galactose producing the B antigen and the O allele which is a deletion that results in unmodified H antigen with no surface molecules

The combination of 2 alleles one from each parent results in different blood types.

Alleles                      Blood Types

A x A                             A

A x B                             AB

A x O                            A

B x B                             B

B x O                             B

O x O                             O

A paleontologist has recovered a bit of tissue from the 400-year-old preserved skin of an extinct dodo bird. The researcher woul
slava [35]

Answer:

c)polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Explanation:

Because the paleontologist recovered only a bit of tissue  and it is very old, it is very likely that the DNA in the sample is very small and part of it is degraded. Anyway, the paleontologist must first amplify the DNA sample to obtain many identical copies of the specific region of the DNA they want to compare. the above is done through a polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Scientists are interested in determining if selenium, from a nearby mine, magnifies in the tissues of fish living in a lake. Whi
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

To test if the selenium from the mine has an effect on the fish living in the lake which i assume is close to the mine, testing the tissue of the fish from that lake and comparing it to the selenium levels of the fish from a nearby lake would be a testable hypothesis because there is a comparable aspect and there should be a difference in the numbers between the fish from the two lakes because of their distance to the mine.

I hope this answer helps.
