Questions and Answers

Based on the provided information, what is the most likely reason why blood group characteristics can be inherited from parents to children?

The length of each chromosome is divided into many small units called genes, which are directly responsible for blood group inheritance.

Chromosomes are thread-like structures that are responsible for carrying the genes that determine blood groups.

Genes are located on chromosomes and contain the information that determines blood groups. (correct)

The nucleus of each body cell contains 46 chromosomes, arranged in 23 pairs, which are involved in inheritance.

If a child inherits a gene for blood group A from their mother and a gene for blood group B from their father, what is the most likely blood group of the child?

Blood group A

Blood group AB (correct)

Blood group B

Blood group O

Which of the following statements accurately describes the relationship between chromosomes, genes, and blood groups?

Blood groups are determined by the arrangement of chromosomes, while genes are responsible for other physical characteristics.

Chromosomes are composed of genes, and these genes contain the information that determines blood groups. (correct)

The number of chromosomes in a cell determines the blood group, while genes are involved in other physical characteristics.

Genes determine the length of chromosomes, which in turn determines the blood group.

What is the most accurate way to understand the inheritance of blood groups based on the provided information?
