none

48

A

anti A & B

49

what do the antigens do ?

A

mark the type of blood you have
ex. type A blood has antigens A
type O blood has no antigens

50

blood clumps together

51
Q

Rh protein is present is it positive or negative ?

A

positive

52
Q

letters on the outside/ inside of the punnett square representation

A

outside - mother & father genotypes

inside - chances of each childs genotype

53
Q

difference between dihybrid & monohybrid cross

A

dihybrid has more combinations of alleles possible because 2 characteristics are crossed instead of 1

54
Q

what gender is most likely to inherit a sex-linked trait ?

A

male because they only have 1 x-chromosome so the trait that is passed down is the trait they have
