Best Answer

the human blood type is controlled by the gene 'I'. It is of 3 types Ia, Ib and i. the alleles 'Ia' and 'Ib' produce slightly different sugar polymers protruding on its surface while the 'i' doesn't produce any sugar polymers. as humans are haploid the contain 2 alleles out of the 3 I gene alleles, as the individual alleles come from the parent gamete. the alleles 'Ia' and 'Ib' are completely dominant over 'i', i.e, if alleles 'Ia' and 'i' are present then only the allele 'Ia' will be expressed, and the same for 'Ib' and 'i' happens, but when 'Ia' and 'Ib' are present together then they both express their own types, this is because of the co-dominance.

Ia + Ia = IaIa = A

Ia + Ib = IaIb = AB

Ia + i = Iai = A

Ib + Ia = IbIa = AB

Ib + Ib = IbIb = B

Ib + i = Ibi = B

i + i = ii = 0 (zero commonly known as O)

Are hereditary information stored in ribosomes with chromosomes that have many genes?

Hereditary information is stored inside the nucleus, which does have chromosomes that contain many genes. DNA is an important part of determining who we are.


How many genes does a female have for a blood clotting?

Since we can never be sure that we know everything about the mechanisms behind blood clotting and there may always be just another protein involved in it, there is at the moment no definitive answer to this question. Even if we could be sure that our knowledge is comprehensive, it would still be difficult to define exactly which genes are "for blood clotting" and which aren't, as many genes contribute indirectly to blood clotting. There is however no reason for there to be a difference between males and females in this number. If you are considering only the main clotting factors (tissue factor, VII, X, prothrombin, V, VIII, IX, fibrin and XIII), these are 9 genes.

Why does the y chromosome not carry any alleles?

The Y chromosome is smaller than the X chromosome and contains fewer genes. It carries the genes necessary for determining male sex and some other genes, but it lacks many of the genes present on the X chromosome. This is why the Y chromosome does not carry any alleles in the same way that the X chromosome does.

What to genes do?

Genes, or genetic material, are basically instructions encoded in DNA for building cells in an organism. Genes code for many different traits like blood type, hair color, and skin color. Scientists frequently debate the role of genetics in behavioral traits, the nature vs. nurture argument. Currently it is unknown to what extent genes code for things like violence or altruism.
