2

The universal recipient blood type can recieve any other blood type. Which blood type is the universal recipient?

45% Answer Correctly

O-negative

AB

AB-positive

O


Solution

Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.

Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

amps

joules or newton-meters

watts

horsepower


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


4

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes:

82% Answer Correctly

recessive alleles

phenotypes

dominant alleles

both dominant and recessive alleles


Solution

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Phenotype is how the genes express themselves in physical characteristics.
