Nikolay [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The correct answer is- Leukopenia

Explanation:

White blood cells are present in our blood which protect our body from foreign antigens like bacteria, viruses, etc. When these white blood cells decrease abnormally in number then this condition is called leukopenia.

White blood cells contain different cell which protect our body from different type of infections. So there are different types of leukopenia according to the particular white blood cell whose number became low.

For example when neutrophils number in the body decrease it is called neutropenia. So the correct answer is leukopenia.

a man with blood group A marries a woman with blood group O and their daughter has blood group O. Is this information enough to
Nonamiya [84]
This information is not enough to tell which of the traits-blood group A or O is dominant.
It is known that blood groups A and B are codominant, which means both will express if found together in a heterozygote. However, blood group O is recessive. But from this information, you can conclude that blood group O is dominant. Why is that so?
Let's imagine that father's genotype is AA and mothers' genotype OO and cross them:
Parents:               AA    x    OO
Offspring:      AO    AO   AO    AO
Since we have information that daughter has blood group O, we can conclude that O is dominant over A and mask it. This is not true! In this case, the daughter will have blood group A.

Mother's genotype surely is OO (because O allele is recessive, so to express a recessive trait both alleles must be recessive). But, the father cannot be AA, because it must give O allele to the daughter so she can have genotype OO and blood group O. So, the father's genotype is AO.  Let's take a look at that crossing:
Parents:         AO   x    OO
Offspring:   AO   AO   OO   OO
Thus, in this case, daughter can have genotype OO and blood group O.

How did the Mafia gain the interest and scrutiny of the public?
mihalych1998 [28]

Mafia gain the interest and scrutiny of the public through their unique and fearful actions.

Mafia gain the interest and scrutiny of the public by threatening people in the society as well as killing some of them. The main aim of Mafia is to earn money so they perform many actions in order to gain money from the public such as extortion, kidnapping etc.

The person who gives money to Mafia is safe but that person who refuses to pay money to Mafia will gain the punishment of death so we can say that in this way Mafia gain the interest of the public.
