Romashka [77]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct answer will be options A, B and E.

Explanation:

Red blood cells or RBC or erythrocytes are the cells present in the connective tissue which forms the blood. RBC perform various functions in the body but the primary function is the transport of the gases in the body.

The RBC are continuously formed in the bone marrow region of the bone form the hemopoietic stem cell found in the bone marrow. These cells produce a large amount of RBC that is about  2 million cells per second in a healthy adult.

When RBC are formed posses nucleus but when mature, they lack nucleus that is genetic material and organelles like mitochondria so, they are not able to divide.  

These RBC contain haemoglobin in their cytoplasm which shows high affinity to bind oxygen and low affinity to bind carbon dioxide to the iron group of haemoglobin.

Thus, options A, B and E are the correct answer.

Material through which water readily flows is termed ____.
Simora [160]
Material through which water flows is permeable. This material can be either natural or artificial. Naturally permeable material can be clean sand and gravel for example, or a sandstone and in the latter case the sandstone can have both porosity which is not synonymous with permeability as the pores must be connected to be permeable. An impermeable membrane could be used to line ditches for example to prevent leakage near mines.

If a homozygous black bull is mated with a homozygous white cow and the calf is gray, this could be an example of ___________. H
givi [52]

Answer:

Incomplete dominance

Co-dominance

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel discovered the principles that governs heredity, in which one of them is that an allele called DOMINANT allele, is capable of masking the expression of its variant allele called RECESSIVE allele in a heterozygous state. However, there has been genetic scenarios contrary to this his LAW OF DOMINANCE.

One of those Non-mendelian pattern of inheritance is a phenomenon called INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE, where an allele does not mask the expression of another completely, instead their combined state produces a third intermediate phenotype that is different from both parents. This is the case of the homozygous black bull mated with a homozygous white cow to produce a grey calf. The grey phenotype is an intermediate phenotype of both the black and white colours that forms due to incomplete dominance.

Another genetic scenario is called CO-DOMINANCE, where one allele is neither dominant nor recessive to the other allele, but instead both phenotypes becomes simultaneously expressed in the heterozygous offspring. In this case, the black bull and white cow were mated to form a heterozygous calf with both black and white spots.
