Answer:

If one parent has blood type B and the other parent has blood type O, the percentage of the blood type of the offspring will depend on the genotype of the parent with blood type B.

Explanation:

Knowing the blood type of the offspring of the cross between parents with blood type B and O raises two possible scenarios, depending on whether the genotype of the parent (type B) is B|B or B|O.

Blood type is an inherited trait and is characterized by the presence or absence of surface antigens A and B in the red blood cells, which genetically behave as co-dominant traits.

Blood type A contains antigen A and its genotype can be A|A or A|O.
Blood type B contains the B antigen, whose genotype can be B|B or B|O.
Blood type AB contains both antigens and a single A|B genotypic expression.
Type O blood lacks surface antigens, and is the recessive trait so its genotype is O|O.

Scenario 1: Parent with genotype B|B.

In this case, knowing that the genotype for type O is always O|O, all offspring would be of blood type B, genotype B|O.

B|B X O|O

Alleles B B

O B|O B|O

100% of the offspring would be of blood type B.

Scenario 2: Parent with genotype B|O.

In this case, 50% of the offspring will have blood type O and 50% B.

B|O X O|O

Alleles B O

O B|O O|O

In no scenario would offspring of blood type A be possible.

hammer [34]

Hello. You have not submitted the experiments to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

A dependent variable is one that is influenced by an element, in order to present a result, that is, it is a variable that does not establish itself, being dependent on another variable to establish itself. An example of a dependent variable can be seen in an experiment that seeks to determine the differences in growth rates of bean plants that were fertilized with different organic fertilizers. As you can see, this is an experiment where the different organic fertilizers influence differences in the growth rate of bean plants. Thus, the growth of these plants depends on the fertilizer, this growth being the variable dependent on the experiment.

A control group, in turn, is an element of the experiment that does not receive the element that is being tested in the same experiment. The control group is important, because it allows the researcher to see the results of a system where the tested element does not exist, thus being able to determine the real differences that the tested element is capable of causing. Using the same example presented in the paragraph above, we can see that the different organic fertilizers are the elements tested in the experiment. These fertilizers will be applied to the plants, however it is important that at least one of these plants does not receive any fertilizer, so that the difference between a system with fertilizer and a system without fertilizer can be evaluated. This plant that received no fertilizer is the control group.

Which substance on the plasma membrane helps identify chemical signals from outside the cell?

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is carbohydrate chain.

Explanation:

Plasma membrane contain three types of protein a peripheral protein b transmembrane protein and c GPI anchored protein.

Some membrane protein basically peripheral proteins contain oligosaccharide chain arranged towards the extracellular region of the plasma membrane with respect to the surface of that glycoprotein.

The oligosaccharide chain of glycoprotein play an important role in to identify signals from outside the cell.These signals may include the entry of virus particles inside our body,protein targeting etc.
