When you donate blood, it can be used for blood transfusions. Transfusions are common during certain surgeries or when a person has an injury that causes blood loss. The O blood type is considered to be a universal donor because a person with any blood type can receive it. However, people with the O blood type can receive blood from only those with the same blood type. Why do you think this is so? What blood type would be the universal recipient (meaning the person can receive blood from any blood type)?

Dr. kaylan is an ecologist who studies bird behavior. she sets up an experiment to test which type of food crows are most likely to eat when given a choice between walnuts, corn, and sunflower seeds. to perform her experiment, dr. kaylan places three food bins in an area frequented by cows. each bin contains one of the three food types. then, she measures how much of each food type is eaten every day for a month and summarizes the results of her experiment in the pie chart below. based on her results, dr. kaylan concludes that crows choose to eat corn more frequently than other food sources because it has a higher nutritional value. what is a reasonable alternate conclusion that can be drawn from dr. kaylan's data

Based on the law of dominance, we would expect percent of the offspring from this cross to have large teeth.

Bisphenol a (often called bpa) is a chemical found in products that people use every day, from water bottles to food containers to children's toys. unfortunately, bpa leaches out of its many products and makes its way into our bodies. what are the health effects of bpa exposure? ongoing research is finding that elevated exposure to bpa can affect a wide variety of developmental and physiological processes, but one of the first studies of bpa's health effects came about because of a simple mistake in the lab. at a laboratory at case western reserve university in 1998, geneticist patricia hunt was making a routine check of her female lab mice. as she extracted and examined developing eggs from the ovaries, she began to wonder what had gone wrong. she noticed that many of the eggs showed problems with their chromosomes, and some had irregular amounts of genetic material, which can lead to miscarriages and birth defects in mammals. she learned that a lab assistant had mistakenly washed the plastic mouse cages and water bottles with a harsh soap, releasing bpa from the plastic. knowing that bpa is an endocrine disruptor, a chemical that can enter organisms and mimic hormones, hunt set out to discover whether it had adversely affected her mice.
