Answer:

The probability that both will be Rh-negative out of 99% Rh-positive is 0.01 x 0.01 = 0.0001.

Explanation:

The population contain 99℅ of Rh-positive. This represent almost all of the people.

However, there is still 1℅ chance of having an individual of Rh-negative.

Both of them will have the probability of 1℅ of having Rh-negative(0.01).

Therefore, Pr(Rh-negative AND Rh-negative) = 0.01 x 0.01. The result is approximately equals zero.

The both parents having Rh-negative, will have a dominant Rh-negative blood passed to their children, only recessive Rh-positive of 25℅ chance.

Since the chance of Rh-negative blood passed to their children is 75℅, it is inevitable that their children will be Rh-negative

Which part of the respiratory system is composed of a single layer of epithelial tissues surrounded by a network of capillaries?
iVinArrow [24]
<span>Alveolar sacs are the part of the respiratory system where the exchange of air happens.

Inhalation is the process where oxygen is taking in to the respiratory system thru the nasal passageways and to the tiny alveolar sacs of the lungs. This process also expands the lungs and the diaphragm heightens or elevates upward.

The counterpart of inhalation is exhalation, where the carbon dioxide is taken out of the lungs in opposite of the oxygen passageways.

This two exchange is called the gas exchange or respiration which happens in the respiratory system responsible for enabling and providing oxygen throughout the body. </span>
