A mother is unsure who the father is of her newborn. Before doing DNA analysis, a simple blood test is performed to give some pr

eliminary information. In this case, two men are the potential father so their blood is also collected. Here is the summary: mom—O, the baby—B, potential father 1—A, potential father 2—AB. Which man is the most likely father? Write an explanation to justify your answer.

Answer:

Potential father 2

The child has one "I^B" allele. The potential father 2 carries "I^B" allele which is absent in the potential father 1.

Explanation:

ABO blood group in human beings is regulated by three alleles. I^A and I^B alleles are codominant over each other and are dominant to the allele "i". The genotype of the mother with blood type "O" is "ii" while that of the baby is "I^Bi". The baby would have received the allele "i" from the mother and the allele "I^B" from the father.

The genotype of the potential father 1 can be "I^AI^A" or "I^Ai" while the genotype of the potential father 2 is "I^AI^B". Since the potential father 1 does not carry allele "I^B", he cannot be the father of the child. On the other hand, the potential father 2 carries one "I^B" allele and therefore, is most likely to have a child with blood type "B" if the mother has the blood type "O"

Bas_tet [7]
Dominant- determines the dominant character, more frequently found in the population, produces the complete polypeptide, does not require the presence of a similar gene, more likely to be inherited, more prone to produce diseases

recessive- responsible for the recessive character, expresses the recessive trait, produces an incomplete polypeptide, requires the presence of a similar gene, less likely to be inherited, less prone to produce disease

Answer:

B) Curve B represents how water takes longer to heat and longer to cool.

Explanation:

Water takes longer to heat and cool than land, you can go swimming in the begging of winter and still have warm pool. Water represents B because it takes so long to heat and cool. This can be proved because it takes longer to heat water than to cook most dry foods in the microwave.
