A simplified model of the human blood-type system has four blood types: a, b,ab and o. thereare two antigens, anti-a and anti-b.

anti-a reacts with blood type a and ab, anti-breactswith b and ab.for a given person, the probability of type a blood is 0.34, type b is 0.12 and type o is 0.5.find theprobability that anti-b will react to this person's blood

First calculate the probability of type AB, which is the remainder after subtracting types A, B and O.

P(AB) = 1-(0.34+0.12+0.5) = 1-0.96 = 0.04

Anti-b will react with types B and AB, so 
P(reaction) = P(B)+P(AB) = 0.12 +  0.04 = 0.16

Answer: For this person, the probability of reaction with anti-b is 0.16

What is the definition of epistasis?
ollegr [7]

The definition of Epistasis in gene biology is Choice D: when the allele of one gene masks the phenotype of another gene

Definition:

When the phenotypic effect of alleles at one gene are masked by alleles of another gene.

In essence, a gene is said to be epistatic when its presence suppresses the effect of a gene at another locus.

It is important to know that Epistatic genes are often called inhibiting genes because of their effect on other genes which are described as hypostatic.

Additionally, there are six common types of epistasis gene interactions:

  • Dominant

  • Dominant inhibitory,

  • Duplicate dominant,

  • Duplicate recessive,

  • Polymeric gene interaction,

  • Recessive.

Describe each part of the geosphere including the parts that make up the lithosphere
snow_lady [41]

The geosphere is considered that portion of the Earth system that includes the Earth's interior, rocks and minerals, landforms and the processes that shape the Earth's surface. The geosphere may be taken as the collective name for the

  • hydrosphere (The hydrosphere is the liquid water component of the Earth. It includes the oceans, seas, lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams. The hydrosphere covers about 70% of the earth surface)
  • cryosphere (The cryosphere is the frozen water part of the Earth system. The Beaufort Sea, north of Alaska. One part of the cryosphere is ice that is found in water),
  • atmosphere( is a layer or a set of layers of gases surrounding a planet or other material body)
  • lithosphere is the substantial, outer part of the Earth. The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth’s structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere below. The lithosphere is further subdivided into tectonic plates. The lithosphere is the most rigid of Earth’s layers.
