Answer:
) Presence of specific glycoproteins on the cell membrane
Explanation:
When specif glycoproteins(antigens) or antibody are present on a cell membrane of Red blood cell,they can be used to identify the blood type.Antigens are substances capable of triggering an immune response in a cells.
In addition,they function in transport of molecules across the RBC. They help in the maintenance of the RBC,and aiding the arrest of cells capable of causing diseases to the body.
Therefore,they are good determinants of blood types,based on this two types of antigens present in a blood type.
These two antigens used for classification of blood types are the 1-the ABO antigens 2,the Rhesus antigens.
Essentially,when a WBC produces an antibody ,which is a molecule that defends the body,If this is not compatible,the antibody will recognize it as a foreign body and attack it.Thus such blood types are not compatible. Thus the antibody-antigen reaction are good for knowing and classify blood types.
Antigen can also be glycoprotein,carbohydrate or glycolipids.
Generally blood types are inherited from both parents.Therefore the antigen present on the RBC are combination of the alleles from each parent.
Answer:
The options
a. New combinations of genes yielding genotypes of greater fitness
b. Few heterozygotes because of underdominance
c. Frequency-dependent selection, leading to fluctuations in fitness
d. Heterozygotes with greater fitness, owing to overdominance
e. A random assortment of genotypes because of genetic drift
The CORRECT ANSWER IS b.
b. Few heterozygotes because of under dominance
Explanation:
In genetics, underdominance (at times called "negative overdominance") is the opposite of overdominance.
It is the selection against the heterozygote, that leads to disruptive selection and divergent genotypes. It occurs in cases of inferior and reduced fitness (As in our case study, it is the different chromosomal fusions and inversions)
of the heterozygotic genotype to the dominant or recessive homozygotic genotype. It is unstable as it causes fixation of either allele.
Another example is the African butterfly species Pseudacraea eurytus, which makes use of Batesian mimicry to avoid predation. This species carries two alleles that gives a coloration that is alike to a different local butterfly species that is harmful to its predator. The butterflies who are heterozygous for this trait are observed to be intermediate in coloration and thus encounter an higher risk of predation and a decrease in the total fitness.
