2. A man with type B blood mamies a woman with type A blood. Their first child has type o blood. The couple says this is
Arisa [49]

Blood types:

AB +

AB -

A +

A -

B +

B -

O +

O -

It is possible to have a child with O blood despite the parents having different blood types.

While the man tested for B blood, he could have been a combination between type o and B whereas, the woman was a combination of type A and o. Since A/B are dominant, they would 'stand out' contrarily to o.

This means that their children could have AB or O blood.

Explain the term "molecular clock" and describe the types of measurements and comparisons that can be made with this type of clo
arsen [322]

Answer:

In biology, a molecular clock can be described as a method to determine the time for the divergence of species which occurred by the process of evolution.

Explanation:

The mutation rates of different molecules are used in this method. The mutation rates for DNA sequences and amino acid sequences are usually considered. The molecular clock can be used to compare and estimate the splitting of a lineage. For example, by this method, one can interpret when the chimpanzees and humans diverged from each other.

Hope this helped!

Mark is studying jellyfish in a small body of water. Mollusks are a primary food source for jellyfish, and a large number of mol
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Carrying capacity for the jellyfish would reduce

Explanation:

Carrying capacity of a biological population in an ecosystem is the maximum number of population size the environment or habitat can conveniently cater for given the available resources such as, food, water supply, space etc.

The survival of the jelly fish largely in the small body of water would be largely dependent on how much food that is available.

The large number of mollusks harvested would reduce the available food in the small body of water, hence, reducing the carrying capacity for jellyfish.
