What is expressed when both alleles for a gene are equally expressed as in human blood type

Biology
1 answer:
alexandr402 [8]3 years ago
5 0

As both the genes get equally expressed in the human blood group genes, both the proteins or characters expressed by those genes get prominent in the phenotype of the organism.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

In case of human blood type, there are co dominance between the genes coding for A blood group and B blood group. Absence of both of them produce the O blood group and presence of both of them produce the AB blood group.

The gene for A blood group codes for enzyme α-1,3-N-acetylgalactosamine transferase which attaches the N Acetylgalactosamine to surface of RBCs which are actually the A antigens.

The gene for B blood group codes for  α-1,3-galactosyl transferase which attaches galactose to surface of RBCs which are actually B antigens.

Presence of both of these genes make both N Acetylgalactosamine and galactose to be present on RBC membrane. This is why co dominance occurs in case of AB blood group persons.

What human activities affect the water, carbon, and the nitrogen cycle what are the consequences
Mademuasel [1]
The nitrogen cycle is impacted by humanswhenever fertilizer is applied to farmland to help crops grow. This adds nitrates to the soil. If soil erodes, the nitrates are transported and deposited in the nearest body of water. This can cause algae to overgrow in a process called eutrophication. The lake will run out of oxygen as the algae die off and bacteria begin their decomposition.Sessile organisms are greatly affected.

What is the evolution of a dog
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Dogs were probably domesticated by accident, when wolves began trailing ancient hunter-gatherers to snack on their garbage. Docile wolves may have been slipped extra food scraps, the theory goes, so they survived better, and passed on their genes. Eventually, these friendly wolves evolved into dogs
