Answer: Option B) Antigens

Blood typing is based on the presence of proteins known as antigens on the outer surface of the red blood cell plasma membrane.

Explanation:

Blood groups A, B, AB, and O are determined based on the antigen-antibody reactions between donor and recipient bloods.

For instance,

- Blood type A has antigen A on its plasma membrane

- Blood type B has antigen B on its plasma membrane

- Blood type AB has both antigen A and antigen B on its plasma membrane

- while blood type O has neither antigen A nor B on its plasma membrane

So, antigens is the answer

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer/Explanation:

Given an estimated beetle population of 11,500, of which it is estimated to increase approximately by 5% each year, we can calculate the estimated population for each year as follows:

<u>Year                       Calculation         Est. Population</u>

1st yr (current yr)                                   11,500

2nd yr                     11,500*105%          12,075

3rd yr                      12,075*105%         12,679

4th yr                      12,679*105%          13,313

5th yr                      13,313*105%           13,979

<u>6th yr                      13,979*105%          </u><u>14,678</u>

The above is how the table would like showing the estimated population for each year.
