Answer:

YES. This information is enough to assume that neither of the blood groups dominates over the other one.

Explanation:  

<u>Available data:</u>

  • A man with blood group B ----> Genotype IBIB or IBi
  • A woman with blood group AB ---> Genotype IAIB
  • Their daughter has blood group AB --> Genotype IAIB

The fact that the daughter´s genotype is IAIB tells us that she got the IA allele from the mother, who is IAIB, and the IB allele from his father, who is IB-.

  • If blood type B was dominant over A or AB, then the daughter should have Blood type B.
  • If blood type A was dominant over B or AB, then the daughter should have Blood type A.
  • Blood type AB tells us that both types are being expressed, A and B.

The fact that the daughter inherited one type of allele from each parent, but she is expressing the blood type AB, suggests that neither of the alleles dominates the other one. This is an example of co-dominance, where the heterozygote phenotype is an additive expression of both of the parents' genes.

This is enough information to assume that neither of the blood groups dominates over the other one.

Anton [14]

Answer:

The cilia in the upper respiratory tract move mucus  down toward the pharynx whereas the cilia in the  lower respiratory tract move them up toward the pharynx.

Explanation:

Through the internal nares, the air enters nasopharynx from the nasal cavity. This air has dust-laden mucus. The nasopharynx is lined with ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium. These cilia move the mucus down toward the most inferior part of the pharynx. The lining of the larynx inferior to the vocal folds is made up of ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium and have ciliated columnar cells, goblet cells, and basal cells.

The goblet cells serve to produce and secrete mucus. The mucus from goblet cells helps trap dust that was not removed in the upper passages. Therefore, the cilia in the upper respiratory tract move mucus and trapped particles down toward the pharynx whereas the cilia in the lower respiratory tract move them up toward the pharynx.

In which domain is the bottom of the DNA-binding cleft? What type of secondary structure lines the bottom of the cleft? In which
Archy [21]

Answer:

The bottom of the cleft is in the palm domain. It is lined with beta sheet.

Explanation:

During DNA synthesis, a single DNA strand is being built in by polymerization of nucleotides. These polymerization process is catalyzed by enzymes called DNA polymerase. These DNA polymerase can be visualized as an open right hand which is composed of a thumb domain, a finger domain and a palm domain. The palm domain contains a prominent beta-sheet that forms a plate at the button of the DNA-binding cleft.
