Question
Chapter 3, Problem 36QP
a.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The possible
Introduction: The human blood group is an example of codominance where the alleles for the two antigens A and B are equally dominant. It means that when the two antigens A and B are present, the blood group is AB whereas in the absence of both the antigens, the blood group is O.
b.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The genotype of the individuals with blood group O.
Introduction: The individuals with the blood group O lack the surface antigens for both the blood groups A and B. Therefore, the expression of type O blood group occurs when the individual inherits both the recessive alleles. It makes people with type O blood group to become universal donors.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.
How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?

- magine that you are conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different.
