Answer:

A) Madison’s parents’ blood types may be either A & 0, or A & A.

B) Depending on her parents’ genotypes, Madison’s genotype may be either AA or A0

Explanation:

Since the A allele is dominant with respect to the 0, a person with blood type A may have either one (A0 genotype) or two A alleles (AA genotype). In contrast, a person with blood type 0 may only have two 0 alleles (00 genotype).

Because one of the sisters has type 0 blood, we have to assume that both of her parents have at least one 0 allele. There are two situations which may give rise to the described scenario (see Punnett squares):

Alternative 1: One of the parents has A blood type (A0 genotype), and the other has 0 blood type (00 genotype). Madison’s genotype may only be A0.

| 0 | 0

——————————

A | A0 | A0

——————————

0 | 00 | 00

Alternative 2: Both parents have A blood type and A0 genotypes. Madison’s genotype may be either A0 (probability of 2/3) or AA (probability of 1/3).

| A | 0

——————————

A | AA | A0

——————————

0 | 0A | 00

Explanation:

The nucleus (plural, nuclei) houses the cell's genetic material, or DNA, and is also the site of synthesis for ribosomes, the cellular machines that assemble proteins. Inside the nucleus, chromatin (DNA wrapped around proteins, described further below) is stored in a gel-like substance called nucleoplasm.

kupik [55]

Answer:

The correct options are MACROPHAGES AND NEUTROPHILSE.

Explanation:

Majority of the white blood cells in humans are specialized phagocytic cells, examples of these are macrophages, neutrophilse, monoctyes, mast cells and dendritic cells. The major functions of phagocytic cells is to protect the human body from disease pathogens. They do this by ingesting foreign bodies that are found in the body.  Macrophages and neutrophilse are the major phagocytic cells in the body, they are the principal effector of non-specific host defense and inflammation.
