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.
Given:
Allele for green pod colour = Gg (Heterozygous)
Allele for Yellow pod colour = gg (Homozygous)
Explanation:
Parents: Gg x gg
When this two parent are crossed, it leads to the following F1 generation (off springs):
<em>• Gg (green colour pod)
</em>
<em>• Gg (Green colour pod)
</em>
<em>• gg (Yellow colour pod)
</em>
<em>• gg (Yellow colour pod)
</em>
Form the produced offspring it can be inferred that the allele combination for green colour pod is Gg. Among the four off springs obtained 2/4 are green colour pod and 2/4 are yellow colour pod.
<span>#1) What ecosystem is described in the paragraph above?
Answer: The ecosystem that is being described in the paragraph above is Tundra. The reason being that the flora and fauna described are from cold climates. Also because the snow leopards are usually found on the tops of mountains, where the climate is cold and windy and rainfall is adequate.
