Blood type is determined by the I gene. IAIA and IAi determines A blood type. IBIB and IBi determines B blood type. ii determines 0 blood type. Michelle's mother must at least carry one recessive allele i.

--------------------------------

The blood type is determined by a gene, which is triallelic.

IA dominant over i. The person presents A type of antigens.

IB dominant over i. The person presents B type of antigens.

IA and IB are codominant. The person presents both types of antigens, A and B.

i is the recessive allele. The person does not present any antigen.

⇒ H0m0zyg0us dominant individuals IAIA, or heter0zyg0us Individuals IAi, will express the A blood type.

⇒ H0m0zyg0us dominant individuals IBIB, or heter0zyg0us Individuals IBi, will express the B blood type.

⇒ Individuals with h0m0zyg0us recessive genotype, ii will express the 0 blood type.

⇒ Individuals carrying IA and IB alleles will express the AB blood type.

To solve the problem, we will use this information.

We know that

Michelle is blood type 0

Father is blood type A

Brother and sister are blood type A

Mother??

⇒ If Michelle is blood type 0, then her genotype is ii. She must have received one recessive allele from her father and one from her mother.

⇒ This suggests that Michelle's father, who is blood type A, is heter0zyg0us IAi. He must have at least one dominant allele IA that determines his phenotype, and one i allele.

⇒ Michelle's brother and sisters are also type A. They might be either h0m0zyg0us dominant IAIA or heter0zyg0us IAi.

⇒ Michelle's mother should have at least one recessive allele i. She could be either IAi or IBi, or ii. There are three possible option for her genotype.

Let us make the Punnet squares to understand it better. We know the genotype of the father, but there are three options for the mother.

Option 1

Cross) father x mother

Parentals) IAi x IAi

Gametes) IA i IA i

Punnett square) IA i

IA IAIA IAi

i IAi ii

F1) 25% of the progeny is expected to be h0m0zyg0us dominant IAIA

50% of the progeny is expected to be heter0zygus IAi

25% of the progeny is expected to be h0m0zyg0us recessive ii

75% of the progeny is expected to be blood type A ⇒ IAIA and IAi ⇒ Sisters and brother

25% of the progeny is expected to be blood tye 0 ⇒ ii ⇒ Michelle

Option 2

Cross) father x mother

Parentals) IAi x IBi

Gametes) IA i IB i

Punnett square) IA i

IB IBIA IBi

i IAi ii

F1) 25% of the progeny is expected to be IAIB

25% of the progeny is expected to be heter0zygus IAi

25% of the progeny is expected to be heter0zygus IBi

25% of the progeny is expected to be h0m0zyg0us recessive ii

25% of the progeny is expected to be blood type AB ⇒ IAIB

25% of the progeny is expected to be blood type A ⇒ IAi ⇒ Sisters and brother

25% of the progeny is expected to be blood type B ⇒ IBi

25% of the progeny is expected to be blood tye 0 ⇒ ii ⇒ Michelle

Option 3

Cross) father x mother

Parentals) IAi x ii

Gametes) IA i i i

Punnett square) IA i

i IAi ii

F1) 50% of the progeny is expected to be heter0zygus IAi

25% of the progeny is expected to be h0m0zyg0us recessive ii

50% of the progeny is expected to be blood type A ⇒ IAi ⇒ Sisters and brother

50% of the progeny is expected to be blood tye 0 ⇒ ii ⇒ Michelle

Despite the fact we can not determine for sure the mother's genotype, we know that she carries at least one recessive allele, which is why Michelle's blood type is 0.

Some digestive products, such as water and electrolytes, will be absorbed by diffusion. They diffuse from an area of ___________

Montano1993 [528]

Answer: Higher concentration; Lower concentration.

Explanation: The food that we eat undergoes digestion and breaks down into smaller components.

These small components of the food needs to be absorbed first by the process of diffusion.

The water molecules along with the electrolytes are absorbed from an area of its higher concentration in the lumen is transported to area where its concentration is very low.

Hence, the correct answer is diffusion, which is responsible for the transportation of products from one place (higher concentration) to another parts (lower concentration)in the body.

Part C

AnnyKZ [126]

The style is the female reproductive part of the plant. it plays important role in plant breeding .

What is style and the role of style in reproduction ?

The stigma and ovary are connected by a long tube-like structure called the style. The pollen tubes bearing male gametes enter the style tissues and travel to the ovary's ovule once the stigma's pollen grains have germinated. Once within the embryo sac, it travels to the egg cell to fertilize it with the aid of the filiform apparatus.

The style is crucial to the plant reproduction process since it not only serves as the site for the formation of the pollen tube but also functions to prevent incompatible pollen from entering the ovary. Genetic information is transferred between the pollen and the plant when the pollen tube begins to spread within the style. The plant also produces a poison at this period. The plant will release the poison to block the formation of the pollen tube if the pollen is unsuitable because it comes from a different species or is too closely related, leading to inbreeding.

If the pollen is compatible, the plant will isolate the poison and sequester it so that the pollen tube growth is not halted. Therefore, the style is the area where compatibility is evaluated and where it is decided if pollen that falls on a flower will be allowed to fertilize the plant.

True or false: competition between organisms involves both biotic and abiotic factors

Mamont248 [21]

I believe it’s true, since Competition will occur between organisms in an ecosystem when both try to use the same resource and the resource is in limited supply. Animals compete for food, water and space to live. Plants compete for light, water, minerals and root space.
