Answer: Antigens
Explanation: The ABO system of blood grouping is based on the basis of the type of antigens that are present in the red blood cells. Erythrocytes is another name for the red blood cells. Antigens are molecules that are capable of eliciting immune response. There are two types of antigens: antigen A and B. Blood type A has only antigen A, blood type B has only antigen B, blood type AB has both antigen A and B while blood type O has no antigen (neither A nor B antigen).
Similarly, Rh trait is determined by the presence or absence of rhesus antigen in the erythrocytes. Rhesus antigen is an antigen first discovered in rhesus monkey. Rh+ indicates the presence of rhesus antigen in the red blood cells while Rh- indicates the absence of rhesus antigen in the red blood cells.
base on their characteristics they share
The sickle form of the hemoglobin gene is created when an adenine nucleotide is changed to a thymine. ... That single amino acid replacement in the -globin protein alters the shape and the chemistry of the hemoglobin molecule, causing it to polymerize and distort the red blood cell into the sickle shape.
Answer:
Native conformation
Explanation:
Native conformation is the correct structure or shape a protein should assume when folded, of which the protein is able to perform its operational function. Outside a proteins native conformation, or when denatured, the protein becomes unable to perform its usual main functions. The native conformation of a protein is the shape it takes in other to be functional.
