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).

What is (are) the main difference(s) between passive transport and active transport? Group of answer choices Passive transport d
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Active transport requires cellular energy for substances to cross the cell membrane; passive transport does not.

Explanation:

Active Transport works against the concentration gradient and therefore needs energy to make it happen

Passive transport such as Diffusion and Osmosis uses the properties of natural movement of particles which moves the molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration or down the concentration gradient and happens passively without the need for energy

If the speed of a player doubles (2x), his kinetic energy will​
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

If you double the speed of an object, the kinetic energy increases by four times. The word "kinetic" comes from the Greek word "kinesis" which means motion. Kinetic energy can be passed from one object to another in the form of a collision.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed, so doubling the speed increases the kinetic energy by a factor of 4.
