Answer: It is not possible to switch blood types.

Explanation:

Blood type is hereditary. That is it is being transferred from the parents to the offsprings. Blood type is inherited by the offspring from the parents at the point of fertilization of the egg by the spermatozoa. There are basically four blood types: A, B, AB and O. These blood types or blood groups are named on the basis of the type of antigens they have. There are two types of antigens: antigen A and B. Blood type A has only A antigen, blood type B has only B antigen, blood type AB has both antigen A and B while blood type O has no antigen.

I do not believe so because it is genetic, just you can't forever change a feature without plastic surgery or an accident, etc.

If equal masses of sand and water are heated to the same temperature, which sample will absorb more energy? base

liberstina [14]

Answer:

The sand will absorb more energy. This is because it is a solid, and more of a conductor of heat. Water on the other hand is not a conducter of heat, You can observe that even more when temperatures are equal.

Hope this helps :)

A geologist and a biologist performed an experiment together and examined the data. Each scientist formed a different conclusion

aliya0001 [1]

The answer is letter C.) There can be alternate explanations for the same evidence.

The results of the two researchers may have been the same, but the interpretation of the data is significantly different. Their conclusions can be further supported by gathering more results from different experiments.

Thank you for posting your question. I hope you found what you were after. Please feel free to ask me more

An additional gene, gene W, was also examined. A test cross was made between true-breeding EEWW flies and EEWW flies. The result

Debora [2.8K]

This question is incorrect but here is the correct question below;

An additional gene,gene W was also examined. a test cross was made between true breeding EEWW flies and eeww flies. The resulting F₁ generation was then crossed with eeww flies. 100 offspring in the F₂ generation were examined and it was discovered that the E and W genes were not linked.

Which is the correct genotype of the F₂ offspring if the genes were linked and if the genes were not linked?

a) Linked: 50% EeWw and 50% eeww; not linked: 25% EeWw, 25% Eeww, 25% eeWw and 25% eeww.

b) Linked: 25% Eeww, 50% eeWw; not linked:parental genotypes EeWw and eeww.

c) Linked genotypes (EeWw and eeww) and recombinant genotype ( Eeww & eeWw) in the F₂ generation are nearly the same irrespective of their linkage.

d) Linked: mostly with parental genotypes, Eeww and eeWw; unlinked: 25% EeWw and eeww with 75% Eeww and eeWw.

Answer:

a) Linked: 50% EeWw and 50% eeww; not linked: 25% EeWw, 25% Eeww, 25% eeWw and 25% eeww.

Explanation:

a test cross was made between true breeding EEWW flies and eeww flies

If EEWW self crossed, we have the following ( EW, EW, EW, EW)

Also, for eeww, we have ( ew, ew, ew, ew)

EW EW EW EW

ew EWew EWew EWew EWew

All offspring are (EWew)

The question goes further by saying "The resulting F₁ generation was then crossed with eeww flies".

And we are asked to find the correct genotype of the F₂ offspring if the genes were linked and if the genes were not linked

∴

To determine the offsprings of the linked genes we need to go by the definition and understand what linked genes are: Linked genes are genes that are physically close together on the same chromosomes. Effect of recombinantion on linked genes, results in gene swaps which occur in chromosomes that are homologous.

Having said that; If EWew × eeww

we have; EW & ew × ew & ew

EW ew

ew EeWw eeww

offspring that

are linked in ⇒ EeWw EeWw & eeww eeww

F₂ will be

$\frac{1}{2}$ = 50% of EeWw of the total 100 offspring in the F₂ cross

$\frac{1}{2}$ = 50% of eeww of the total 100 offspring in the F₂ cross

∴ Linked genes = 50% EeWw and 50% eeww.

For unlinked genes; If EWew × eeww

if rearrangement occurs in EWew and EWew self crossed, we have ( EW,Ew,eW,ew) as the traits needed for the unlinked gene F₂ crossing.

Also ewew will be (ew, ew, ew, ew).

EW Ew eW ew

ew EeWw Eeww eeWw eeww

We have the following results for the unlinked genes

$\frac{1}{4}$ = EeWw 25% of the total 100 offspring in the F₂ cross

$\frac{1}{4}$ = Eeww 25% of the total 100 offspring in the F₂ cross

$\frac{1}{4}$ = eeWw 25% of the total 100 offspring in the F₂ cross

$\frac{1}{4}$ = eeww 25% of the total 100 offspring in the F₂ cross

∴ not linked: 25% EeWw, 25% Eeww, 25% eeWw and 25% eeww.
