Human ABO blood type is controlled by the I locus and has three possible alleles. The alleles which code for type A blood (IA) a

nd type B blood (IB) are codominant, while the allele for type O blood (i) is recessive. In a cross between a person with a genotype of IAi and a person with genotype IAIB, what is the probability of seeing three offspring with type A blood?

Answer:

1/8 (12.5 %)

Explanation:

Cross: IAi X  IAIB

F1: 1/4 IAIA 1/4 IAIB 1/4 IAi 1/4 IBi

Phenotypes:

- IAIA and IAi >> type A blood

- IBi >> type B blood

- IAIB >> type AB blood

Phenotypic frequency type A blood: 1/2  (i.e., 1/4 IAIA +  1/4 IAi) >>

Probability to have 3 offspring with type A blood: 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8

The human ABO blood group is a system consisting of there different alleles: A, B, and O. This system is used in genetics as an example of codominance because both A and B alleles are expressed in heterozygous individuals (i.e., IAIB), whereas only the allele A is expressed in individuals that have A and O alleles (since O allele is recessive to the A and B alleles).

Which statement correctly describes how nitrogen in the soil returns to the atmosphere?
Naya [18.7K]
The answer is "Decomposers directly convert ammonium into nitrogen gas".

Living organisms such as plants and animals contains nitrogen in the form of the amino acids and proteins. When they die, the nitrogen in the form of ammonium is decomposed by microorganisms. It is then converted into nitrites and then to nitrates by nitrifying bacteria. The denitrifying bacteria then converts nitrates into nitrogen.
