Answer: The correct answer is-

a-25%

ABO blood group shows multiple allelism that is has more than two alleles. AB alleles show co-dominance and O allele is recessive allele.

As per the information in the question, Mrs. Smith has blood type A, her father has blood type A ( genotype could be AA/AO), and her mother has blood type B ( genotype would be BO only). This means that she has inherited A allele from her father and O allele from her mother to make the blood type A. Thus, genotype of Mrs. Smith would be AO.

Mr. Smith has blood type AB ( that is genotype would be AB).

So, the genotypes of these parents would be-

Mrs. Smith- AO

Mr. Smith- AB

When these parents are crossed, they will have 25% probability of having child with blood type AB.

Consider the parts of a polar ecosystem and a desert ecosystem.
g100num [7]

Answer: Abiotic factor for polar: Ice

Abiotic for desert: Sand

Biotic for polar: Polar bears

Biotic for desert: Cacti

The types of factors are different because there are different set conditions for each ecosystem. A cactus is built for it's hot, dry ecosystem. If it were to move to a polar ecosystem it would not survive there. Same for the polar bear. It's built for polar regions. It has white fur to blend with the white ice to help it blend in and it's adapted to swim to get it's food source.
