The Type O blood group is commonly called as universal donor because any blood group can receive the O blood group. The blood group O has no antigen. Due to the absence of antigen it doesn't agglutinate when come in contact with other blood groups in the plasma.

The agglutination reaction happens when opposite antigen and antibody reacts with each other. e.g.- Blood group A contains antigen A and antibody b and the blood group B contains antigen B and antibody a. Agglutination reaction occurs when the antigen A reacts with antibody a. As O blood group has no antigen, agglutination reaction doesn't occur.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - codons.

Explanation:

Each mRNA is made up of the codons that are complementary to the DNA sequence during transcription and once it binds with the ribosome, mRNA strand codes are read by tRNA in triplet code that decides which amino acid would be bind to the ribosome during translation to synthesize the polypeptide chain. For instance, if mRNA has CCG codon then tRNA should have GGC anticodon should have bound.

A survey reveals that 25 percent of a population of 1,000 individuals have attached earlobes (are homozygous recessive for the t
Mumz [18]

Answer:

d. pxp +2pq

Explanation:

The formula for genotype frequency for a population in Hardy-Weinburg equilibrium is as under:

                           p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where, p = dominant allele

           q = recessive allele

Here,

 p² represents frequency of homozygous dominant genotype

2pq represents frequency of heterozygous genotype

q² represents frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

Also, although the genotypes p² & 2pq are different from each other yet phenotypically they both will collectively produce dominant trait i.e. free ear lobes not attached earlobes. So the term "p² + 2pq or pxp + 2pq" represents the frequency of the individuals who show the dominant phenotype in this particular population. Dominant phenotype will comprise 75% of the population.
