Answer:
If a father has type A blood and the mother has type AB blood, they cannot have a child with blood type O, although depending on the father's genotype, they may not have children with a B blood type either.
Explanation:
Blood type is determined by the presence or absence of surface antigens A and B, which is genetically determined and establishes the pattern of inheritance.
Alleles that define the presence of antigens A and B are co-dominant, while the absence of antigens - as in blood type O - is a recessive trait.
Type A contains antigen A and its genotype can be A|A or A|O. Type B contains the B antigen, whose genotype can be B|B or B|O. Blood type AB contains both antigens and a single genotypic expression A|B Type O blood lacks surface antigens, with genotype O|O.The father with blood type A can have two genotypes, A|A or A|O, which raises 2 possible scenarios:
1. Father A|O with mother A|B
Alleles A O
A A|A A|O
B A|B B|O
In this case there is no chance of having a child with blood type O, 50% chance of having children with blood type A, 25% B and 25% AB.
2. Father A|A with mother A|B
Alleles A A
A A|A A|A
B A|B A|B
50% chance of having a child with blood type A and 50% with blood type AB. In this case there is no chance of having children with blood type O or B.

Seismograms record the forces of earthquakes. How do these seismograms help scientists learn about the composition of the Earth?
(My teacher asks for a minimum of 5 sentences)
Explanation:
Earthquake waves produces two very important waves that useful in studying the composition of the earth.
These waves are P and S-waves.
P-waves are primary longitudinal waves that propagates through any material medium. S-waves are secondary transverse waves that can only pass through solids but not fluids.Using these waves we can know the composition of the earth.

Students investigate how onion cells react to salt (NaCl) solutions of different concentrations. They observe onion cells in three salt solutions under a microscope.
The image of an onion cell in a 3% salt solution is shown.
Onion Cell in 3% Salt Solution
Answer:
Less than 3%
Explanation:
I'm guessing that since the solution has a concentration of less than 3%, the water would go into the cell to maintain which would make it expand.
Onions cells can react in different ways when place in any solution. The image of an onion cell are said to be:
The first image is greater than 3% The second image is greater than 3%.
When the salt water is added to the onion tissue, cytoplasm pulls away in course of time from the cell wall. So, due to that, water begins to leave the onion cell where it was more highly concentrated to the area where it was less concentrated.
Onion cell does not burst when placed in a hypotonic environment due to the fact that it has strong cell wall, which hinders the burst from taking place.
Onion peel often shrinks in salt solution when water from cells cytoplasm moves out of the cell.

which of the following characteristics is true about an organism whose remains formed a good index fossil.
a.) it must be unique orgsnism
b.) it must be an organism that lived all around the world
c.) it must be an organism that lived for a very short time period
d.) all of these characters are important fo an index fossil
Answer:
d.) all of these characters are important fo an index fossil
Explanation:
Organisms have the characteristics to die and their remains form fossils. A fossil is a preserved remain of a previously living organism. Index fossils are fossils used to tell us more about a particular period. However, before the fossil remains of an organism can be used for this purpose, it must have specific characteristics including the following:
- It must be a unique/distinct species
- It must be geographically abundant
- It must live only a short period of time
Based on these above characteristics of a good index fossil, an organism whose remains must form a good index fossil must possess ALL THE MENTIONED CHARACTERISTICS MENTIONED IN THE OPTIONS.
Answer:
d
Explanation:
Index fossils have to be unique and abundant to be easily identified, abundant means it must be around the world. Index fossils usually live for a short period of time. So D is the correct answer.

Explain how breast-cancer genes are still present in the population, despite cancer-related surgeries and deaths.
Answer:
Explanation:
Mutations are effectively errors in the DNA copying or transcription processes. They can occur naturally or be caused by mutagens, either chemical such as benzene or environmental such as ultraviolet light. These mutations concern the basses on DNA and can be as small as one base changing to another or as complex and detrimental as the insertion of a new base along the strand. Such mutations can drastically change the proteins created by an organism and affect entire chromosomes or genes. Some mutations that affect gametes can be passed down from parent to offspring and are called germline mutations. Such mutations can create entirely new alleles and increase a populations genetic variation. One such genetic mutation that occurs in humans in cancer. Cancers are errors in a cells DNA caused by mutations that allow the cell to grow and multiply uncontrollably copying the mutated DNA along the way. One specific type of cancer is breast cancer. Breast cancer has two different types of mutations. There are the BRCA 1 and 2 varieties. According to the charts, the BRCA 1 mutation appears to be more deadly. If a woman carries the BRCA 1 mutation, she has, once again according to the chart, an 18 percent chance of death. All of the women in the table above had a family history of cancer. This would point to the fact that cancer can be passed down as well as contracted from a certain type of mutagen known as a carcinogen. The table also references preventative surgeries in a number of women carrying both the BRCA 1 and 2 mutations as well as some without either. Unfortunately, given the data shown, it is impossible to determine the effectiveness of such procedures. To be able to judge this, data about the survival rates of women who underwent the procedures versus those who did not would be required. The bar graph above the chart also mentions ages. It shows that the numbers of cases of breast cancer increase rather quickly until ages 50-59 and then steadily and slowly decline. Most breast cancer cases occur in women 50-59 years old. This tells us that the mutation takes quite a few years to manifest as it is a genetic mutation and is furthered by the sufferers decreased ability to fight off carcinogens with age. If cancer can be removed by surgeries or by the death of the afflicted, why does it still exist in our population? The answer is simple. Cancer can be passed on hereditarily but that is not the only way for it to be contracted. Carcinogens that exist as chemicals or as environmental factors are present everywhere and can mutate one’s DNA and therefore genes. This can then be passed on to offspring as well.
Genetic variations occur as a result of recombination and mutation. Variations enable organisms to adapt to environmental conditions.
What do you mean by genetic variations?Genetic variations can arise from gene variants (also called mutations) or from a normal process in which genetic material is rearranged as a cell is getting ready to divide (known as genetic recombination).
The genetic diversity has three different sources: mutation, recombination and immigration of genes. Mutation is the driving force of genetic variation and evolution.
Genetic diversity is important because it gives species a better chance of survival. However, genetic diversity can be lost when populations get smaller and isolated, which decreases a species' ability to adapt and survive.

O Biology is the science of exception, Justify it with
examples
Answer:
Biology deals with living organisms which show enormous variations and, therefore, numerous exceptions are found.
There are two reasons:
Each organism evolved in a different way to adapt to their environments the best way possible.
It is not really so. There are common rules to biology as in physics, but the problem is we study much more complex systems. More complexity results in more emergent properties, thus they appear to be exceptions.
Biology deals with living organisms which show enormous variations and, therefore, numerous exceptions are found.
justifying it with examples:
1. All living cells have a nucleus except mature red blood cells of mammals.
2. Red blood cells of all mammals are without nucleus except those of camel.
3. Stem is the part of plant above the ground but potato, corm and ginger are underground stems.
4. Blood of all vertebrates is red due to the presence of hemoglobin but a shark, Carcharhinus, has colorless blood.

Answer:
A tall, green plant with dominant alleles for both characteristics have a genotype TTGG and its phenotype is tall and green.
Explanation:
For a given trait, the dominant allele of the allelic pair is represented in capital letters (T and G), while the recessive allele is represented in small letters (t and g).
In the case of this plant, whose phenotype is tall and green —both dominant characteristics— and considered pure because both alleles are dominant, the genotype is TTGG.
In the case of a hybrid, the phenotype would be the same but the genotype would be TtGg. A recessive phenotype would be ttgg.HELP PLEASE ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

Explanation:
Create an example in which a mutation entered the gene pool and due to predator pressure. Becomes predominate. For example, think about how the color of the Peppered moths during the industrial revolution changed. The moths were light in color, but due to all the pollution from industry the trees they lived on turned dark making the light moths an easy target for birds. The moths with the mutation for dark color were able to blend with the darker bark and survived. These dark colored moths passed their genes on to their offspring and over a relatively short period of time most of the moths became dark. When the pollution decreased, the lighter colored moths predominated once again.
*Write a paragraph or so it can be a little under. Ill give you brainiest.*
Answer:
The population of light colour Peppered moths decreases and dark Peppered moths increases.
Explanation:
During the industrial revolution, the population of light colour Peppered moths decreases and dark Peppered moths increases because due to industrial revolution, air pollution increases which spreads a black dust on the trees and as a result the light colour Peppered moths can easily be seen in the dark by its predator and feed on them while dark colour Peppered moths can't be seen in the dark so the predator is unable to feed and as a result the population of dark colour Peppered moths increases.
