The ABO blood type is determined by different alleles for a gene that codes for an enzyme. How do the mutations in the alleles l

ead to the different blood types?

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.

Which macromolecule forms a double layer as the primary structure of cell membranes?
OlgaM077 [116]
Answer;
Phospholipid.

Phospholipid forms a double layer as the primary structure of cell membranes.

Explanation; 
Cell membranes contains of lipids (phospholipids and cholesterol), proteins and carbohydrates groups that are attached to some of the lipids and proteins. 
Phospholipids are composed of a polar head and non-polar (hydrophobic) tail. They line up such that the heads and the tail groups are side by side to form a single layer due to the interactions between the head groups and the tail groups. Two of these layers line up with the hydrophobic tail groups facing each other to prevent the hydrophobic groups away from the polar head groups of other phospholipids and from the water in the surrounding environment.

give two reasons why it is better fro human muscle cells to produce energy through aerobic respiration than through anaerobic re
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

During anaerobic respiration lactic acid is produced which is not good for human. It causes muscle pain.

ATP produces during anaerobic respiration are less while aerobic respiration produces more ATPs.

Explanation:

During anaerobic respiration lactic acid is produced which is not good for human. It causes muscle pain.

ATP produces during anaerobic respiration are less while aerobic respiration produces more ATPs.

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.  

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide

Why do you think there is a basic difference between the kinds of fertilization most common in aquatic and terrestrial animals?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The basic difference between the kind of fertilization most common in aquatic and terrestrial animal is that terrestrial animal lay their sperm into the environment to fertilize eggs, while aquatic animals lay their eggs in the water bodies in order to carry out the process of fertilization, because the sperm of aquatic animals need water as a medium in order to travel and meet the egg present in the water bodies so that fertilization can occur.
