Two brown-haired people have two children, P and Q. P has blond hair. Q has brown hair. What is the probability that Q is heterozygous? Then you have one more argument: this was probably a high school homework, so it has to use what kids learn about Mendelian heredity, not something deeper and more elaborate. |

What prevents a pregnant woman's immune system from recognizing her fetus as nonself (and attacking)? Right now I don't remember the full story, but part of it is that pregnant women are somewhat immunosupressed and there is something like a layer of NK cells around the placenta making sure nothing attacks it. Not very practical to adapt to organ transplants. |

Can positive and negative blood type of a couple lead to miscarriage? This would be true only if the (+) parent BY DEFINITION was a heterozygote. |

Can positive and negative blood type of a couple lead to miscarriage? I would add one more thing - generally the longer they wait before trying again, the better chances fo a Rh+ foetus. Memory cells slowly die and in my country 5 years after last pregnancy with problems a Rh- woman's pregnancy is considered normal risk. Still - a specialist will tell you more and help your sister. |

Chromosome 2 fusion? I'd really like to give you more than just one upvote. |

Chromosome 2 fusion? You are describing two processes - one of general fusion happening now and then throughout history (which is common) and one of specific fusion, that was supposed to happen at a certain time in human evolution history (which is not sure, but possible). |

How many people are required to maintain genetic diversity? I am no expert on dogs, but did learn a bit about in- and outreeding. Each dog breed is either open or closed. In a closed breed, only offspring of animals already belonging to this race belong to the race. In an open breed any animal that looks similar enough (or has other important traits, characteristic for the breed) can be a parent of a "breed" litter. Under certain circumstances (e.g. too few animals in the breed, too bad overall health of the breed) a closed breed can be opened and after the problem is solved, closed again. |

How much weight/volume do microbes occupy within the human body? Just human intestines have over a kilogram of bacteria! A good enema will leave you 2kg lighter and that's mostly bacteria. |

In a human, what non-germline cells have the highest/lowest mass? Long human axons are up to 20um in diameter, their bodies are very small, so I think we can assume, that such a very long human axon is a long, thin tube of 20umx1m. This means it's volume is about 31,400,000um^3. If a large adipocyte is 0.2mm (200um, same source as previously) in diameter and a sphere, it is 4,190,000um^3. So yes, an extremely long axon is larger than a large adipocyte, but I could go on searching for a largest adipocyte known to science and I'm almost certain, that I could find something larger ;) |
