Answer:

While there are more than 20 blood-type systems, ABO and Rh are the most important ones. The importance of knowing your blood type is to prevent the risk of you receiving an incompatible blood type at a time of need, such as during a blood transfusion or during surgery.

Hope it helps

Answer:

Hey!

Here's why its important:-

When a foreign antigen reaches one’s blood, it stimulates the defense mechanism. On receiving unmatching blood, the antigen present in the donor's blood and the antibody present in the recipient's blood will react with each other and form a blood clot. Hence, everyone cannot receive blood from all blood groups.

If there is no lactose present, how does bacteria respond? The gene for beta-galactosidase turns on. The gene for beta-galactosi

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The gene for beta-galactosidase turns off.

Explanation:

The gene that codifies the beta-galactosidase enzyme is part of the <em>lac</em> operon, which also contains two other genes that produce enzymes involved in the metabolization of lactose.

Between glucose and lactose, the bacteria will preferentially use glucose as an energy source. On the other hand, lactose is a dimer, and thus a series of enzymes are needed to process lactose before its use as an energy source.

If there is no lactose present, the genes contained inside this operon are turned off (the operon is repressed).

Gray seed color in peas is dominant to white. Assume that Mendel conducted a series of experiments where plants with gray seeds

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

(a) Gg × Gg; (b) genotypic = 1:2:1, phenotypic = 3:1

Explanation:

a) A cross between two gray seeded plants produces progeny with gray and white seeds in 3:1 ratio (302:98=3:1). This means that the parent plants are heterozygous and each has at least one recessive allele. If the allele "G" is responsible for gray seed and the allele "g" imparts white color to the seeds, the genotype of the heterozygous parents would be "Gg".

b) A cross between two heterozygous gray seeded parents would produce progeny in following ratio:

Genotype ratio= 1 GG: 2 Gg: 1 gg

Phenotype ratio= 3 Gray: 1 white
