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

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.

In mitosis, when do the sister chromatids align with centrosomes in the cells?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The answer is probably B. Metaphase

Explanation:

In mitosis, the sister chromatids align in the "center" of the cell as the centrosomes are at the poles of the cell. They do this, moving on to the next phase Anaphase - where they will eventually split. Interphase isn't part of mitosis - it describes the period in which the cell is just growing and copying DNA.  If you textbook says it is, then thats ok, sometimes its included as part of it (even though technically its not).
