Answer:
very few M. tuberculosis in the standard nutrient cell cultures carry the rpoB gene mutation, but almost all of the M. tuberculosis in the cell cultures with rifampin carry the rpoB mutation
The answer is confirmation bias. This is the tendency to look for evidence that will confirm ones hypothesis and ignoring anything else that does not lead to the hypothesis. In this situation confirmation bias is evident due to the fact that you look for anything that confirms your hypothesis and ignore anything else that does not point to drug abuse.
Answer:
If one parent has blood type B and the other parent has blood type O, the percentage of the blood type of the offspring will depend on the genotype of the parent with blood type B.
Explanation:
Knowing the blood type of the offspring of the cross between parents with blood type B and O raises two possible scenarios, depending on whether the genotype of the parent (type B) is B|B or B|O.
Blood type is an inherited trait and is characterized by the presence or absence of surface antigens A and B in the red blood cells, which genetically behave as co-dominant traits.
- <em>Blood type A</em><em> contains antigen A and its genotype can be A|A or A|O.
</em>
- <em>Blood type B </em><em>contains the B antigen, whose genotype can be B|B or B|O.
</em>
- <em>Blood type AB </em><em>contains both antigens and a single A|B genotypic expression.
</em>
- <em>Type O blood lacks surface antigens, and is the recessive trait so its genotype is O|O.</em>
<u>Scenario 1: Parent with genotype B|B.</u>
In this case, knowing that the genotype for type O is always O|O, all offspring would be of blood type B, genotype B|O.
B|B X O|O
Alleles B B
O B|O B|O
O B|O B|O
100% of the offspring would be of blood type B.
<u>Scenario 2: Parent with genotype B|O.</u>
In this case, 50% of the offspring will have blood type O and 50% B.
B|O X O|O
Alleles B O
O B|O O|O
O B|O O|O
In no scenario would offspring of blood type A be possible.
