2. Mendel focused on traits that had two alleles (A or a) in which one was dominant and the other was recessive. Yet many genes

may have multiple alleles. What is an example in your book of a gene that has multiple alleles

The example of a gene having multiple alleles is ABO blood system in human.

Explanation:

Sometimes the gene can have three or more alleles on the same locus, but in reality only 2 alleles are present in the individual.

It is a deviation from Mendel's law of inheritance.

There are three allelic forms of gene of blood group on the locus as A,B and O and have more than two phenotype for a gene.

Type  A (iA), Type B (IB), OR type O

the 3 combinations can give genotype of

type A, Type B, type AB or O BLOOD GROUPS.

Type A can be homozygous as IA IA or heterozygous as ( having one O allele) IAI

same genotype for B is also there.

Type O is recessive with two O alleles.

Since A or B type are equally dominnat they give rise to AB type.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

C) Bacteria congregated in these areas because these areas had the most oxygen being released.

Explanation:

Below is the full question:

Theodor W. Engelmann illuminated a filament of algae with light that passed through a prism, thus exposing different segments of algae to different wavelengths of light. He added aerobic bacteria and then noted in which areas the bacteria congregated. He noted that the largest groups were found in the areas illuminated by the red and blue light.

What did Engelmann conclude about the congregation of bacteria in the red and blue areas?

A) Bacteria released excess carbon dioxide in these areas.

B) Bacteria congregated in these areas due to an increase in the temperature of the red and blue light.

C) Bacteria congregated in these areas because these areas had the most oxygen being released.

D) Bacteria are attracted to red and blue light and thus these wavelengths are more reactive than other wavelengths.

E) Bacteria congregated in these areas due to an increase in the temperature caused by an increase in photosynthesis.

The most efficient region of white light for photosynthesis has been found to be the blue and red region of the white light. Hence, these two regions must have had the most oxygen being released because they are the regions with the highest rates of photosynthesis.

<em>Aerobic bacteria thrived better in the regions illuminated by red and blue light because these regions had the highest oxygen production as a result of having the highest rates of photosynthesis.</em>

<em>The correct option is C.</em>

A patient has a large bruise so the phlebotomist collects a blood specimen distal to it. describe where the specimen was collect
olga55 [171]

Phlebotomy refers to a collection of venous blood. This operation can be practiced on all the superficial veins of the body, on those of the foot, the leg, the neck, the whole upper limb. It must be done in an area where there is a protruding vein and the least sensitive to limit pain to the patient. It should not be done in an altered, injured or infected area (like bruise)

The blood is collected on tubes with or without anticoagulant according to the analyzes that one wants to practice.

The reason for choosing the sampling site is for the most part practical, the veins are easily identifiable, and easily accessible for paramedical personnel. Their collection is less dangerous than that of arteries, which are generally thinner and close to the peripheral nerves.

A probe is launched from Earth and lands on Mars. The gravitational acceleration on Mars is 3.7 m/s2.
ki77a [65]

The correct option is this: THE MASS OF THE PROBE REMAINS THE SAME, BUT THE WEIGHT OF THE PROBE DECREASES.

The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of substance it contains and this amount always remain the same unless there is a change in quantity of matter. This is the reason why the mass of a substance will remain constant, no matter where it is placed, whether on planet earth or on another planet. The weight of a substance on the other hand is a force, whose value depends on the force of gravity. Thus, the force of gravity that exist in the place, where the object is placed will determine its weight.
