Answer: The chances that the baby will have type O is 25%

Explanation: Both the male and female are heterozygous for type B blood, this means that they both have one dominant allele for type B blood and one recessive allele for type O blood. Remember that in the ABO blood system, The alleles for type A and B are dominant while the allele for type O blood is recessive.

This means that the genotypes of both parents for type B blood is BO.

BO x BO = BB, BO, BO, and OO.

Phenotypically, BB and BO will manifest as type B blood while OO will manifest as type O blood.

From the cross between the two parents, one out of the four offsprings has type O blood, therefore the chances of a child having type O blood is 1/4 x 100 = 25%.

Whole-exome sequencing identifies loci associated with blood cell traits and reveals a role for alternative gfi1b splice variant

iVinArrow [24]

The important indicators of hemotopoietic function and a number of clinical parameters, such as blood oxygen-carrying capacity, inflammation, and hemostasis are circulating blodd cell coutns and indices. By performing whole-exome sequence association analyses of hematologic quantitative traits in 15,459 community-dwelling individuals, followed by in silico replication in up to 52,024 independent samples, we identified two previously undescribed coding variants associated with lower platelet count.

True or False? : A good scientific experiment will only test one variable. Everything else will be kept constant.

liubo4ka [24]

True! because if you have more than one variable, you aren’t going to know which variable changed the dependent variable.

in summer, what happens to the hurricane’s temperature, category, and speed as it travels across a body of water and then land?

IRISSAK [1]

I think it starts to get slower as soon as it starts traveling because then hurricanes wouldnt be as bad and would be long, and it could possible get worse as it travels across the water because it could be sucking up water so then it would get bigger and worse. The tempertaure will get colder because it will then start to pour and cause destruction and make it windy and very chilly.
