Answer:

C. IBIB

D. IBiO

Explanation:

The blood group system comprises of three different kind of alleles, iA, iB, IO. As we know that a person gets two alleles for both traits, one from father and one from mother, and based on that a person gets its blood group. IA and IB are dominant to IO.

So, if a person has genotype IAIO he will have blood group A and if he has genotype IOIB he will have blood group B because A or B are dominant to O.

However, if a person has blood group O it means that he has genotype IOIO.

So, in this diagram we see that Eric has blood type O, which means that his genotype will be IOIO.

The Eric's mother Melissa has blood group B, which means that she can either had genotype IOIB and IBIB respectively.

Similarly, Eric's grandmother Tricia has genotype B which means that she can have genotype both IOIB and IBIB respectively.

Therefore, both C and D are correct options.

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Cerebrospinal fluids is a colorless fluid that is secreted in the choroid plexus,and circulates in the ventricles system and sub -aranchinoid space of the brain and spinal cord. its provides nutrients to the surrounding neurons, cushions the effects of trauma, pressure, acts as buffer and provides protection through immune system .

it plays a vital role in regulating blood flow, through a process called cerebral auto regulation,This is needed to maintain efficient cerebral blood flow of oxygen and other metabolites, and withdraw of metabolic wastes from the brain.

in order to analyze it to diagnose some neurological diseases its sample is usually taken out in a process called lumbar puncture.
