Answer:

A child with type B blood can have a mother with type B blood and a father with type O blood so the judge grants her request and decides due to Susan is right and Craig must pay child support (option b).

Explanation:

Susan is right in this case because her son with type B blood may have a mother with type B blood and a father with type O blood.

Blood types, according to the ABO system, depend on the existence of surface antigens A or B —Types A, B and AB— or their absence in the erythrocyte membrane.

In the inheritance of blood groups A and B are co-dominant, while the absence of antigens —type O— is a recessive trait.

Assuming that Susan has a genotype B/B and that Craig has a genotype O/O:

Alleles O O

B B/O B/O

B B/O B/O

So it is very likely that the child is Craig's son and Susan is right.

Would an enzyme work in a different environment that is used to?

Mariana [72]

Answer:

Enzymes work best within specific temperature and pH ranges, and sub-optimal conditions can cause an enzyme to lose its ability to bind to a substrate. Temperature: Raising temperature generally speeds up a reaction, and lowering temperature slows down a reaction.

Multiple Choice New species arise when a. a portion of the population becomes isolated from the remainder of the population and

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

a. a portion of the population becomes isolated from the remainder of the population and experiences different selective pressures

Explanation:

This is an example of allopatric speciation Allopatric speciation is a form of speciation (formation of new species) that occurs as a result of geographic isolation. This means that a part of population becomes physically separated from the initial main population. There is no gene flow between these two populations and as a result the two populations reach a high level of genetic divergence. They can no longer interbreed which means they become two different species (speciation).

New populations evolve as result of mutation, genetic drift and natural selection.

For example, Galapagos finches are isolated from others by the ocean (geographic isolation). Because of the isolation, the finches don’t breed with one another. So, they developed unique characteristics and became endemic.

eduard

Answer: C) The event at the end of the Triassic Resulted in the extinction of fewer fauna’s then in any other period

Explanation:

Looking at the graph, the event at the end of the Triassic resulted in the smallest dip in the amount of fauna in the graph. This means that this event resulted in the extinction of fewer faunas than any of the other five major events.

Option A is wrong as the event at the end of the Devonian decreased the number of Cambrian fauna.

Option B is wrong as the event at the end of the Cretaceous resulted in a decrease in the Paleozoic fauna.

Option D is wrong because the event that resulted in the Extinction of more fauna’s then in any other period was the event at the end of the Permian.
