12. Individuals with Type O blood are able to produce both Anti-A and Anti-B antibodies, while individuals with Type AB blood pr

oduce neither of these antibodies. Explain why this is the case. How does this relate to the idea that people with Type AB blood are often referred to as universal recipients for transfusions

Answer: Blood group O individuals are able to produce Anti- A and Anti- B and are often referred to as UNIVERSAL DONORS, while blood group AB individuals produces none and are often referred to as UNIVERSAL RECIPIENTS

Explanation:

Two antigens, type A and type B, occur on the surfaces of the red blood cells in a large proportion of human beings. These antigens are referred to as agglutinogens because they often cause blood cell agglutination during blood transfusion. Because of the way these antigens are inherited, people may have neither of them on their cells , they may have one or they may have both simultaneously.

When type A antigen and type B antigen is not present in an individuals reb blood cell as seen in blood group O, antibodies known as Anti-A and Anti- B develops in the plasma. This is because small amounts of type A and type B antigens enter the body through food, bacteria and other ways and they initiate the development of anti A and Anti- B antibodies in their plasma.

Furthermore, individuals with blood type AB has antigen A and B on their red blood cells and therefore do not develop antibodies A and B in their plasma. This makes them universal recipient as their blood do not discriminate any ABO blood group during blood transfusion.

Which of the following is TRUE about sexual reproduction? Please choose the correct answer from the following choices, and then
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Sexual reproduction produces a greater variation in offspring.

Explanation:

  • B is wrong because in sexual reproduction there are two organisms involved who combine their DNA, therefore resulting in non-identical offsprings.
  • C is wrong because sexual reproduction requires the two organisms involved to exchange DNA's whereas asexual reproduction involves only one organism which only copies it's own DNA for reproduction.
  • D is wrong because there are no risks as genetic defects and no need to seek a mate or it is easier than sexual reproduction which results in lower risks for the parents in asexual reproduction.
  • E is wrong because asexual production is a more efficient procedure and results in a faster growing population because there is no need to search a mate.
  • The answer is A because in sexual reproduction, two different DNA's from both parents get combined resulting in more variation in offspring. In asexual reproduction, there is only one set of DNA which does not allow the gene's to mix, causing a less diverse offspring.

How does the brain develop during adolescence?
mario62 [17]

Because the prefrontal cortex is still developing, teenagers might rely on a part of the brain called the amygdala to make decisions and solve problems more than adults do. The amygdala is associated with emotions, impulses, aggression and instinctive behaviour.
