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.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Lysine

Explanation:

lysine residues on the histone tails of the octamer cn be activated by both acetylation and methylation patterns to influence accessibility or silencing of the genes respectiviely. for example, acetylation of H3K27 (histone 3 lysine residue 27) brings about a region of active chromatin allowing access to transcription activity while its trimethylation  will cause silencing of the associated gene at that particular area (no expression of that gene)

In which case would facilitated diffusion be needed?
melomori [17]

Answer:

The voltage-gated potassium channels associated with an action potential provide an example of what type of membrane transport?

A. Simple diffusion.

B.<u> Facilitated diffusion. </u>

C. Coupled transport.

D. Active transport.

You are studying the entry of a small molecule into red blood cells. You determine the rate of movement across the membrane under a variety of conditions and make the following observations:

i. The molecules can move across the membrane in either direction.

ii. The molecules always move down their concentration gradient.

iii. No energy source is required for the molecules to move across the membrane.

iv. As the difference in concentration across the membrane increases, the rate of transport reaches a maximum.

The mechanism used to get this molecule across the membrane is most likely:

A. simple diffusion.

<u>B. facilitated diffusion. </u>

C. active transport.

D. There is not enough information to determine a mechanism.

Carrier proteins - exist in two conformations, altered by high affinity binding of the transported molecule. Moves material in either direction, down concentration gradient (facilitated diffusion). EXAMPLE: GluT1 erythrocyte glucose transporter.

Channel proteins - primarily for ion transport. Form an aqueous pore through the lipid bilayer. May be gated. Moves material in either direction, down concentration gradient (facilitated diffusion). EXAMPLES: Voltage-gated sodium channel, erytrhocyte bicarbonate exchange protein.

This might be helpful... because I don't know anything about facilitated diffusion.

Biologists sometimes say that “natural selection depends on the specific environment where a species lives.” What does this stat
denis23 [38]

Answer: Natural selection is one of the forces of evolution and the enviroment where the species lives is the selection agent. For example, suppose a mosquitoes population in a environment free from insecticides, in this environment there's a high frequency of non-resistant mosquitoes because the environment is not  exerting any pressure on the resistence trait. But when the environment changes and we use a insecticide upon the mosquitoes population, the populations changes because the non-resistant ones die but those resistant survive and beggin to reproduce more effectively. That's natural selection, differences in survival and reproduction between individuals with different phenotypes (traits) and this differences depend of environmental changes.
