Biology

Kryger [21]3 years ago

Depends on whether the genes that code for grey fur or code for white for are dominant, which ever one is dominant will show the phenotype. Assuming grey fur is dominant over white it also depends on if the grey cat is carrying white fur genes as these genes will be passed onto the kittens and with the white genes as well you may get a mix of grey and white cats. usually a punnet square is used to show this type of scenario.

.G - dominant g - recessive
     G     G
g   Gg   Gg
g   Gg   Gg  

This punnet square shows what happens if the grey cat has only grey genes, all the kittens will be grey as they all carry the grey gene,

    G     g
g  Gg   gg 
g  Gg   gg 

This punnet square shows what happens if the grey cat is carrying white fur genes, because of the white gene being present, half of the kittens would be grey and the other half would be white, even though one of the parents was grey it produced half non grey offspring because it was carrying white fur genes

Gemiola [76]

Answer: A) Hydrogen Bond

Explanation:

A hydrogen bond occurs when a hydrogen (H) is covalently bound to a more electronegative atom or group forms an electrostatic attraction to another electronegative atom bearing a lone pair of electrons. This is possible due to the polarity of the H-electronegative atom bonds.

andrew-mc [135]

Answer: Option A.

Achondrogenesis

Explanation:

Sonographic findings of severe micromelia, decreased or absent ossification of the spine, macrocephaly, and micrognathia are conditions of Achondrogenesis because

Achondrogenesis is a genetic disorder that is as a result of mutations in gene SLC26A2 which is responsible for cellular transport proteins that is needed for the growth and development of bones and cartilage. This condition lead to malformation of bones and cartilage and it is characterized by short limbs, small body, narrow chest ,prominent abdomen,underdeveloped lungs,lack of ossification in the spine and pelvis, prominent head, small chin e.t.c.

It is a condition that affects infants.

The major treatment is pallative care in which the doctor have to reduce pain stress of bones and cartilage and also genetic councellling.

Why is a person with type AB blood able to receive a blood transfusion from a donor with any of the major blood types (A, B, AB,
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

ABO blood grouping system is based on presence or absence of three types of antigen on red blood cells. A and B blood group have A and B antigens respectively. AB blood group has both A and B antigens. O blood group does not have any antigen.

A body with particular blood type will consider other blood group foreign ( because it has different antigen ) and produce antibodies against it. A person with blood type A can not be given B type blood because the antibodies in his body will destroy RBCs with B antigen which may even prove fatal.

AB blood type person can receive blood from both A and B blood groups because he has antigens for both of them so it will produce antibodies for neither of them. He can also receive O type blood because O blood does not have any antigen so it can be given to any person without incompatibility reaction.  

However, AB individual can only donate blood to AB individual because his blood cells have both A and B antigens. So, he can only donate blood to an individual who does not produce antibodies for both A and B blood groups and that would only be another AB blood type individual.
