Answer:

Co-dominance because he expresses both of the alleles simultaneously

Explanation:

The ABO blood group system is used by humans. This blood group type is controlled by multiple alleles. Alleles A and B are both dominant over allele O but are co-dominant. Co-dominance is a type of inheritance pattern in which two alleles of a gene both express themselves i.e. neither is recessive.

This is the case of this family whose parents have a genotype of AO (blood type A) and BO (blood type B) respectively. The children have blood types A, B, and AB. However, the child with genotype AB possesses both the A and B allele, which are both expressed in his blood group (phenotype), hence, it can be said that the child is exhibiting CO-DOMINANCE for the blood group trait.

1. The plant life that is characteristic of a biome depends upon:
eimsori [14]

Answer:

D. all of the above​

Explanation:

Biome refers to a large and relatively distinct terrestrial region having similar climatic conditions regardless of where it occurs on Earth. The characteristic climatic conditions (temperature and precipitation being the most important ones) and soil type of each biome type determine the type of plant species found there. Therefore, each biome is characterized by specific flora.  

For example, a desert biome is a temperate or tropical biome characterized by a lack of precipitation, seasonal variations in temperature and poor soil type with low organic matter that limits plant growth. Desert biomes have only the plant species that can survive these harsh conditions.

One parent is homozygous for a recessive allele and one parent is heterozygous for a recessive allele in an autosomal dominant g
Maurinko [17]
It seems that you have missed the necessary options for us to answer this question so I had to look for it. Anyway, here is the answer. If one parent is homozygous for a recessive allele and one parent is heterozygous for a recessive allele in an autosomal dominant genetic disorder, the chance that <span>a child of those two parents will have the disorder is 75%. Hope this helps.</span>
