Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
We inherit our blood groups from both parents. Our blood type is controlled by a single gene. This gene displays 3 different allelic pairs which must include A, B or O. A child is expected to receive one of the three possible allelic pairs from each of the both parents. This means that there are six possible genotype and four possible phenotype for the child.
Given that Christopher's parents (Andersons) are AB and O,Christopher can have a B blood group.
Given that John's parents (Browns) are A and O, it explains how John can have blood group A.
Given that The Christiansons are A and AB, they can give birth to Robin whose blood group is AB.
Since the Dietrichs are O and O, the only possible blood group of their child is O, hence they are definitely the parents of Jane.
Answer:
<u>Biofilms are</u> defined as complex communities of microorganisms that grow embedded in a self-produced polymeric organic matrix and adhered to a living or inert surface, and that can present a single microbial species or a range of different species
Explanation:
The bacteria that form the biofilm are in what is called sessile form, exhibiting a phenotype different from those of the same cells in unicellular or free form (planktonic form) with respect to the growth rate and gene transcription (Donlan, 2002 ).
<u>
The formation</u> of biofilms is an adaptive strategy of microorganisms, since growth in biofilm offers four important advantages: (I) protects microorganisms from the action of adverse agents, (II) increases the availability of nutrients for their growth, (III) facilitates the use of water, reducing the possibility of dehydration and (IV) enables the transfer of genetic material (DNA). All of these circumstances can increase your survival capabilities. As a consequence, <u>the usual methods of disinfection or the use of antibiotics are often ineffective against biofilm bacteria</u>.
In addition to the risk of contamination, the development of biofilms can interfere with different processes and cause damage to the equipment. In drinking water systems the formation of biofilms can obstruct the pipes reducing their speed and transport capacity causing an increase in energy consumption. The formation of biofilm in heat exchangers and cooling towers can reduce heat transfer and as a consequence its efficiency in the process. The formation of persistent biofilms on metal surfaces can cause corrosion due to acid production by bacteria.
Unfortunately this question is incomplete as it is a multiple choice question. The following options are provided:
<span>A) body cavity between body wall and digestive system
B) number of embryonic tissue layers
C) type of body symmetry
D) presence of Hox genes
E) degree of cephalization
The answer is D: presence of Hox genes

Hox genes are a group of genes that determine the basic structure and orientation of animals.
The period of Convalescence is the time during which the person regains health and fully recovers.
Explanation:
- Diseases that can spread from one person to other are called infectious disease.
- Disease development is divided into Incubation period, Prodromal period, period of illness, Decline period, and period of Convalescence.
- During incubation period the pathogen enters the host body and starts multiplying itself. But the signs of diseases are unnoticeable.
- Then comes the prodromal period, when the pathogen keeps multiplying itself and some signs of disease are observed but they are not obvious
- After the prodromal period comes the period of illness when the patient exhibits obvious signs of sickness.
- As the period of illness is over the symptoms of disease start to cease and the the number of pathogen decrease in body.This period is the period of decline.
- Finally comes the period of Convalescence when the person returns to his pre-disease state and is completely healthy. (except irreversible damage caused by the disease)
