Answer:

  • The blood group of the father must be B.
  • The genotype of blood group would be I^{B}i.
  • The Rh factor of the father can either be positive or negative.
  • Thus, the genotype of Rh factor of father would be either Rr or rr.

Rh factor:

The phenotype of the mother Rh factor is positive. Thus, she can have Rr or RR as her genotype as positive is a dominant trait.

If the genotype of the mother is RR then all the offspring would be positive for Rh factor. However, one of the offspring is Rh negative, that means the mother must be heterozygous that is, Rr.

The genotype of the father can either be Rr or rr in order to produce offspring with positive as well as negative Rh.

Blood group:

The blood group of the mother is A. Thus, the genotype can either be I^{A}I^{A} or I^{A}i.

However, the blood groups of the children are O+ and B+.

Thus, the genotype of the mother must be heterozygous that is I^{A}i.

The blood group of the father must be B with genotype I^{B}i in order to produce offspring with blood group O and B.

While we usually think of fever as a bad thing, a fever is actually signifying that an immune response is progressing! Overall,
zalisa [80]

Answer:

E. Interleukin-1

Explanation:

Interleukin-1 is produced by macrophages and is involved in promoting the proliferation of helper T cells. Interleukin-1 also acts on the hypothalamus to cause fever. Fever refers to abnormally high body temperature. During infection and inflammation, the hypothalamic thermostat is reset in response to interleukin-1 resulting in fever. The presence of certain bacterial toxins in the body triggers the release of interleukin-1 from macrophages and the body temperature is elevated. Fever inhibits the growth of some microbes, intensifies the effects of interferons, and stimulates the body's immune reactions.

How does limiting factors -such as space, light, and food- affect a population?
Anni [7]
These factors are essential for the growth and life span of the population of species in an ecosystem. The larger the space, the more light it obtains, and the more food the area produces; the larger the population of species in an ecosystem. having less space, light, and food, the results would be vice versa.
