Answer:

Her full blood type genotype is Dd.

Explanation:

Rh (Rhesus) factor is a type of protein found on the outside of red blood cells. It is genetically inherited. An individual that has this protein is Rh-positive, and the one that doesn't is Rh-negative. The Rh-positive gene is dominant, while the Rh-negative gene is recessive. This means that a person must inherit at least one dominant (D) allele from their parents in order to be Rh-positive.

If Dr. Mrs. Brown is Rh-positive, and her father is Rh-negative, her mother must be Rh-positive (DD or Dd), as well. Her father has two recessive alleles (dd), which means that Dr. Mrs. Brown must have one recessive allele. Since she is Rh-positive, she must have one dominant allele. This makes her genotype Dd.

Carbon is released and cycled back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. When living things die and decay, the rest of the carbon that makes up living matter is released.
