Answer:

Red blood cells in blood type A-positive individuals have the A antigen, and generate antibodies against the B antigen (option B).

Explanation:

The basis of compatibility by blood group, according to the ABO system, is due to the presence of surface antigens A and B in the red blood cells. When a specific antigen is present, the body recognizes it as its own, while the other antigen will be recognized as foreign, and will induce antibody synthesis.

Blood types are determined by the presence, or absence, of these surface antigens A and B, generating antibodies against the antigens it does not possess, which can be summarized:

Blood type A has surface antigen A, but antibodies against B.
Blood type B has surface antigen B, and antibodies against A
Blood type AB has both A and B antigens, so it does not generate antibodies .
Blood type O has no antigens, but can produce antibodies to both antigens.

Individuals' blood type is a genetically inherited trait

D

B makes no sense
C makes so sense as variation causes natural selection so if they were all the same natural selection wouldnt happen
A isnt right

the answer is D as the organisms must have some variation in order to be different enough and less/more well adapted to their habitat in order for the less well adapted ones to die- and the more well adapted ones to live and pass on advantageous alleles/genes

Some butterflies can ingest toxic chemicals from the milkweed plants they feed on and then canstore those chemicals in their bod

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

A) Any butterfly allele that allowed milkweed toxin storage would be likely to persist because butterflies that had it were more likely to survive.

Explanation:

Butterflies are natural preys to birds. Over time, some butterflies evolved adaptive strategy such as developing an allele which enables storage of toxin from milkweed as a form of defense mechanism. This stored toxins repel birds from eating the butterflies having this allele giving rise to the survival of these butterflies overtime. Butterflies that had it are likely to be highly favored for survival against predatory birds, while those butterflies without this allele are likely to be heavily preyed upon by birds.
