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.

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

<u>Scenario 1: Parent with genotype B|B.</u>

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

O          B|O B|O

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

<u>Scenario 2: Parent with genotype B|O.</u>

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

O           B|O O|O

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

OPTIONS:

a. When there are just two other people at the party.

b. When everyone is wearing a nametag.

c. When there are more than 50 people attending the same party.

d. When the need for help from the person who is having a heart attack is very clear

Answer:

c. When there are more than 50 people attending the same party.

Explanation:

Bystander effect is a term used in social psychology to describe the tendency of an individual to intervene in the event of an emergency to offer help to the person needing it, when others are present at the scene of the emergency.

In the case of an emergency just like the scenario stated in the question, where someone develops a heart attack at a dance party, if the party has more people, the slimmer the chance of the person getting help from any of the 50 people at the party, as the presence of others would tend to discourage the any individual from attempting to help the victim having the heart attack.

The situation that would more likely show the bystander intervention effect is <em>"c. When there are more than 50 people attending the same party."</em>

Which of the following situations accurately describes a difference between a food chain and a food web? Select one:
Natasha2012 [34]
Lets look at your first question. A food chain is a linear (line) relationship between organisms. It shows who eats what and who gets eaten. The energy is passed up the chain from one organisms to the next. A food web is a series of interconnected food chains. It can show one organism being preyed upon by several predators. The answer choice A is really referring to an energy pyramid, but it is true in any ecosystem that only 10% of available energy is passed to the next trophic level. B and C are both true statements as well. D is completely false because 90% of energy is lost, not retained. So with that said, there is more than one correct answer here. I have included a diagram so you can see the difference between the two. 

For Question 8, the key to understanding this is that sunlight is the main source of energy for any ecosystem. Plants (autotrophs) use the sunlight to convert it to sugars (glucose) which is a compound that heterotrophs can utilize. This process is called photosynthesis. :-) 

Question 9: So in a food chain, you typically start with the producers (plants), then to the primary consumer, then secondary consumer, then tertiary consumer, and in some cases you may have a quaternary consumer. That is 4 links. However, we are forgetting the role of decomposers at all levels of this food chain, and that would add an extra link. In summary, you wouldn't typically see more than 5 links in a food chain. 

I hope all of my explanations are helpful! Good luck! :-)
