In erythroblastosis fetalis, only pregnant women who are ____ must be treated with injections to prevent their antibodies from attacking their baby s red blood cells

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Rh-negative

Explanation:

Erythroblastosis fetalis is a clinical condition whereby maternal antibodies begin to attack the fetal red blood cells due to incompatibility in the Rh of mother and fetus. Rh, which stands for Rhesus factor, can either be positive (Rh+) or negative (Rh-).

However, this condition (erythroblastosis fetalis) occurs in mothers/women who are Rh-negative. When an Rh- mother carries a fetus that is Rh+, the antibodies in the white blood cells of the mother identifies the blood cells of the fetus as FOREIGN, hence, begin to attack it.

However, one preventive measure is that pregnant women who are Rh-NEGATIVE must be treated with injections called Rh immunoglobulin to prevent their antibodies from attacking their baby's red blood cells.

[50 points... Will give brainliest] Explain how natural selection is impacted by genetic differences, variation, and survival.​

Answers

Answer:

Because natural selection acts directly only on phenotypes, more genetic variation within a population usually enables more phenotypic variation. Some new alleles increase an organism's ability to survive and reproduce, which then ensures the survival of the allele in the population.

Natural selection is the process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change. Individuals in a population are naturally variable, meaning that they are all different in some ways. This variation means that some individuals have traits better suited to the environment than others.

Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution. Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success. This process causes species to change and diverge over time.

explain the two inheritance patterns of blood type

Answers

Answer:

The ABO blood type is inherited in an autosomal codominant fashion.

The Rh system of blood groups determines the gene that forms two alleles: dominant (D) and recessive (d).

Explanation:

The dominant allele determines the synthesis of antigen D, so people with this antigen are referred to as Rh +. The recessive allele is dysfunctional so no D antigen is produced and individuals are Rh-

The ABO blood group system determines a gene that has three alleles:

A,  B, and O allele.

Alleles A and B are functional and determine the synthesis of certain antigens (agglutinogens A B) that are found on erythrocytes.

In this exercise we have to use the knowledge of blood to explain its inheritance factors, so we want to explain how:

So we know that blood types in addition to the types known as ABO, there is also the RH factor which is the biggest inheritance.

What are the 3 blood types?

Type A blood has A antigens, B blood has B antigens, AB blood has both antigens, and type O has neither. Red blood cells also have another type of antigen called RhD, which is part of a family made up of 61 Rh type antigens. When the blood has RhD, it is type positive.

Our blood group is inherited from both parents. Just as we are given physical characteristics like skin color or hair, we also inherit blood type. Surprising as it may seem, blood group is not genetically determined at birth according to the contributions of both parents.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is ''The scientific study of heredity''

Explanation:

Genetics is a branch of biology that studies how hereditary characters are transmitted from generation to generation and the diversity that exists among living beings. Inheritance is the physical and biological characteristics that we share with our family and that can determine our appearance and our biological characteristics, that is, our phenotype (eye color, skin type, etc.) as well as our internal characteristics. All of this is largely derived from our genetic components, that is, our genotype.

i) Predict which of the liquids would cause the largest decrease in mass of a potato stick
PLS HELP ME I’ll GIVE YOU 15 POINTS OR BRAINIEST

Answers

Answer:

1.0 mole per dm3 sodium chloride solution

Explanation:

The more the molarity of a solution, the lower the water potential of the solution, and the higher the amount of water that will osmotically move from the potato stick to the solution when placed in it in order for an equilibrium to be established.

Hence, the 1.0 mole per dm3 sodium chloride solution will cause the largest decrease in the mass of the potato stick when compared to the 0.5 and 0.1 mole per dm3 sodium chloride solutions.

The endosymbiotic theory states that the mitochondria of eukaryotes are the evolutionary result of a Proto-eukaryotic cell engulfing an aerobic bacterium, which then evolved into the mitochondrion. Which characteristic of mitochondria supports this theory of development? A retention of a single layer membrane B retention of the chlorophyll pigments C retention of their own genome D retention of their own nucleus

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - C. retention of their own genome.

Explanation:

The endosymbiotic theory is a theory that suggests that eukaryotic cells are developed from prokaryotic cells. According to this theory, organelles like mitochondria are developed in eukaryotic cells as the result of proteo-bacteria cells engulfing aerobic bacteria.

The evidence of this theory can be seen as the mitochondria has their own genome such as circular DNA and ribosomes as the prokaryotes.

Which of the following forms of plant reproduction is likely to produce a new plant that is different from the parent plant?

Answers

The answer is sexual reproduction.
Explanation: Sexual reproduction produces offspring by the fusion of gametes, resulting in offspring genetically different from the parent or parents. While Asexual reproduction produces new individuals without the fusion of gametes, genetically identical to the parent plants and each other, except when mutations occur. Therefore, it is Sexual reproduction.

Answer:

Sexual Reproduction

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction is when the parent reproduces by its self and the offspring that comes from it has the same genes as the parent and sexual reproduction is when the off spring has different genes because there are more than 2 parents so if the plant is different and my child looks different from me and i sexually reproduced with someone that means the plant has been sexually reproduced.(can i get brainliest)

In a certain species of flowering plant, the purple allele P is dominant to the
Yellow allele p.

A student performed a cross between a purple-flowered plant and a
yellow-flowered plant. When planted, the 146 seeds that were produced from the
cross matured into 87 plants with purple flowers and 59 plants with yellow
flowers.

Calculate the chi-square value for the null hypothesis that the purple-flowered
parent was heterozygous for the flower-color gene. Give your answer to the
nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

3.4

Explanation:

If the purple flower is heterozygous:

                Pp    x    pp

            Pp   Pp   pp   pp

the expected ratio of purple flower offspring to yellow flower offspring would be 50:50.

Chi square = [tex]\frac{(O - E)^2}{E}[/tex] where O = observed frequency and E = expected frequency.

phenotype            O              E                 Chi square

purple                   87             73                [tex]\frac{(80-73)^2}{73}[/tex] = 0.67

yellow                   59             73                [tex]\frac{(59-73)^2}{73}[/tex] = 2.68

Total = 0.67 + 2.68 = 3.35 to the nearest tenth = 3.4

Degree of freedom = 2 - 1 = 1

Critical Chi square value (alpha = 0.05) = 3.84  

SInce the critical Chi square value is greater than the calculated value, the null hypothesis is accepted.

Many small freshwater organisms have a structure called a contractile vacuole, which pumps water out their body. Explain how this process is an example of active transport.

Answers

Answer:

1: The process of osmosis would cause water to move into the cells causing them to swell and possibly burst. Many freshwater one celled organisms have structures called contractile vacuoles. These structures collect and pump out excess water that accumulates in the cell.

2: During active transport, a protein pump uses energy, in the form of ATP, to move molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. An example of active transport is the sodium-potassium pump, which moves sodium ions to the outside of the cell and potassium ions to the inside of the cell.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is option C "determine how a star is moving (toward, away, fast, slow)"

Explanation:

All realized components emanate and assimilate specific frequencies of light, which is important for the electromagnetic range. By considering the frequencies of light (as demonstrated by 'lines' inside the electromagnetic range) discharged by an object in space, astronomers can get a scope of information.

One thing they look at is the adjustment in situation of lines in the range from a star this can tell astronomers the distance away the star is, regardless of whether it is moving towards or away from us and how quick it is moving.

How do cells maintain homeostasis without using energy

Answers

Answer:

Form the cell membrane around food to create a vacuole that is kept separate from the rest of the cytoplasm while enzymes break down the food.

Cells maintain homeostasis without using energy by relying on passive transport processes.

Passive transport mechanisms do not require the input of cellular energy (ATP) and instead rely on the inherent kinetic energy of molecules and the concentration gradients of substances.

One common example of passive transport is simple diffusion, where molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached.

Similarly, facilitated diffusion utilizes protein channels or carriers to facilitate the movement of specific molecules across the cell membrane without energy expenditure.

Osmosis is another passive process where water molecules move across a selectively permeable membrane to balance the concentration of solutes on both sides.

By utilizing these passive mechanisms, cells can maintain a stable internal environment and achieve homeostasis without the need for energy expenditure.
