Answer:

The dry-out material contains spores of anthrax-causing bacteria

Explanation:

<em>Anthrax is a disease caused by a bacteria known as Bacillus anthracis. Susceptible animals get infected by anthrax when the spore of the bacteria gets into their bodies, become activated, multiply and produce toxins.</em>

The spore serves primarily as a propagating structure and also as an agent for transmitting infections. It can be transmitted by air, water, food or any other means. Bacterial spores usually have the capability to tolerate harsh environmental conditions and only become inactivated when conditions are favourable.

The dry granular powdery material constituent of the letters received by the U.S. senators must have been spores of <em>Bacillus anthrasis</em>

2. Which of the genotypes listed above would provide the strongest evidence that the alleles for blood type are co-dominant? Ple
Ket [755]

Answer:

AB

Explanation:

Blood group is discovered by famous scientist Karl Landsteiner in the year 1990. Co-dominance is the expression of the two alleles in the heterozygotes. In AB type, the two different alleles are present and they are expressed.

However in ABO type, it is govern by three allele namely A, B and O type. If only the antigen A is present, it is called A blood type. When only B antigen is present it is called B blood type and when both A and B are present, it is called AB blood type. And if neither of the antigen are present, it is called the O blood type.

The allele O is of recessive to both the blood type A and B. So a person with O blood type have two copies of O allele. But however A and B blood type are dominant of O, a person with A blood type may have one of the two genotypes --  AO or AA. Similarly, with blood type B, the genotypes are BO or BB.
