A man is brachydactylous (very short fingers; rare autosomal dominant), and his wife is not. Both can taste the chemical phenylthiocarbamide (autosomal dominant; common allele), but their mothers could not. Give the genotypes of the couple. If the genes assort independently and the couple has four children, what is the probability of all of them being brachydactylous

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is -

A) BbTt x bbTt

B) .5^4 or 1/16 or 0.0625

Explanation:

As it is given that Brachydactylus and PTC tasters both traits are autosomal dominant conditions which mean only one allele would be enough.

For Branchydactylus and For tasting :  man and women will be heterogeneous.

Hence,

The Genotype of man = BbTt

The Genotype of wife = bbTt

b. Answer = 0.0625

For Branchydactylus:

Bb X bb

Possible genotypes:

B b

b Bb( Brachydactylus) bb(normal)

b Bb (Brachydactylus) bb (normal)

The probability of a single child being Branchydactylus = 2/4 = 0.5

So,  Probability of all 4 child being Branchydactylus = .5 x .5 x .5 x .5 = 0.0625

5. 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p³ (electrones de valencia) Grupo: 15 Periodo: 4

Explanation:

La configuración electrónica de los elementos es la disposición de todos los electrones de un elemento en niveles y subniveles de energía (orbitales).

Hay 7 niveles de energía, numerados del 1 al 7, y en los que los electrones se distribuyen, lógicamente, en orden según su nivel de energía. Los electrones con menos energía girarán en el nivel 1. Cada nivel se divide en subniveles. Estos subniveles en los que se divide cada nivel pueden ser hasta 4. Estos 4 subniveles se denominan: s, p, d, f. En el subnivel s solo puede haber un máximo de 2 electrones, en p puede haber un máximo de 6 electrones, en el subnivel d 10 electrones y finalmente en el subnivel f puede haber un máximo de 14 electrones.

Por otro lado, los electrones de valencia son los electrones que se encuentran en la última capa electrónica (denominada orbitales de valencia) y tienen muchas posibilidades de participar en una reacción química.

En la tabla periódica, en cada período aparecen los elementos cuyo último nivel de su configuración electrónica coincide con el número del período, mientras que en cada grupo aparecen los elementos que presentan el mismo número de electrones en el último nivel ocupado o capa de valencia. Entonces:

Answers

Answer:

increases the ability of wastes to diffuse out of the organism

Explanation:

A small size of an organism is advantageous for marine organisms because it increases the ability of wastes to diffuse out of the body of organism. Small size of an organism produces less amount of waste material and these organism does not need a very special and complex excretory system so simple diffusion of waste material occurs from the body in order to clean the body.

Physical change does not affect the chemical components of the material and the rod was only hammered to change it shape (thus altering a change in the physical aspect)

Which of the following is not one of the steps of the water cycle?
A. Condensation of water vapor into clouds.
B. Throughflow of underground water back to the ocean.
C. Respiration of water into the atmosphere.
D. Transpiration of water into the atmosphere.

Answers

The option that is not one of the steps of the water cycle includes options C(Respiration of water into the atmosphere)

and D(Transpiration of water into the atmosphere).

Water cycle can be defined as the constant flow or movement of water through earth, atmosphere and the oceans either in liquid states or vapour.

The four main steps of water cycle includes:

EvaporationCondensationprecipitation and Collection (this leads to formation of underground water which gradually flows back into the oceans).

In nature, water circulates mainly within the abiotic (non-living) environment; only a small proportion recycled through living organisms.

Therefore respiration and transpiration which occurs through living organisms doesn't form the major steps of water cycle, hence the correct option is C (Respiration of water into the atmosphere) and D (Transpiration of water into the atmosphere).

An actin-binding protein called cofilin binds preferentially to ADP-containing actin filaments rather than ATP-containing actin filaments. Based on this preference, which is true? Question 7 options: Cofilin binds to the plus ends of treadmilling actin filaments. Cofilin competes with profilin for binding to actin. Cofilin binds to older actin filaments. Cofilin binds to the plus ends of actin filaments.

Answers

Answer:

Cofilin binds to older actin filaments

Explanation:

Microfilaments (also called actin filaments) are a class of protein filament common to all eukaryotic cells, which consist of two strands of subunits of the protein actin. Microfilaments form part of the cell's cytoskeleton and interact with the protein myosin in order to allow the movement of the cell. Within the cell, actin may show two different forms: monomeric G-actin and polymeric F-actin filaments. Microfilaments provide shape to the cell because these filaments can depolymerize (disassemble) and polymerize (assembly) quickly, thereby allowing the cell to change its shape. During the polymerization process, the ATP that is bound to G-actin is hydrolyzed to ADP, which is bound to F-actin. ATP-actin subunits are present at the barbed ends of the filaments, and cleavage of the ATP molecules produces highly stable filaments bound to ADP. In consequence, it is expected that cofilin binds preferentially to highly stable (older) filaments ADP-actin filaments instead of ATP-actin filaments.

Sheets composed of two layers of amphipathic molecules arranged with the hydrophilic groups on the surface and the hydrophobic groups buried in the center that form in water are called A) micelles. B) liposomes. C) vacuoles. D) bilayer membranes. E) none of the above

Answers

Answer:

D) bilayer membranes

Explanation:

Two lipidic bilayers compose the cell membrane. There are also proteins and glucans incrusted in between. Lipids are amphipathic molecules with hydrophilic heads -negatively charged phosphate group- and hydrophobic tails. Lipids are arranged with their hydrophilic polar heads facing the exterior and the interior of the cells, while their hydrophobic tails are against each other, constituting the internal part of the membrane. Membranes are fluid, which means that the composing molecules can move through them.

Lipids can easily change places with other neighboring lipids by lateral diffusion in the same layer. This is passive diffusion, which means that it does not need energy to happen.

Lipids can also diffuse transversally to the other layer but not as easily as lateral diffusion. Jumps between monolayers are infrequent as the lipidic polar heads meet the fatty acid barrier.

There are also other lipidic movements as rotational diffusion that imply the rotation of the molecule.

When calcium carbonate is heated, it
decomposes into calcium oxide and carbon
dioxide. If 100 g of calcium carbonate are
decomposed, 56 g of calcium oxide is produced.
What would be the mass of the carbon dioxide
given off by the decomposition?
A. 448
B. 110 g
C. 156 g

Answers

Answer:

A. 44 g

Explanation:

First, you need to write a balanced equation:

CaCO₃ -> CaO + CO₂

Then, you need to find the molar mass of CaCO₃:

Ca = 40.078 amu

C = 12.0107 amu

3O = 47.9982 amu

_________________

100.0869 amu

Then, you calculate the moles of CaCO₃:

100 g ÷ 100.0869 amu = 0.9991 moles

In the balanced equation, we can see that the molar ratio of CaCO₃ and CO₂ is 1 : 1, so moles of CaCO₃ = moles of CO₂.

Now you need to find the molar mass of CO₂:

C = 12.0107 amu

2O = 31.9988 amu

________________

44.0095 amu

Finally, you can calculate the mass of CO₂ produced:

0.9991 moles * 44.0095 amu = 43.9698 g = 44 g

Individuals with a mutation in the gene for apolipoprotein B-100 produce very low levels of this protein, which is a component of LDL. How would accumulation of fat in the liver be affected and would this result in hypercholesterolemia or hypercholesterolemia

Answers

Answer:

Fats would accumulate in the liver and the individual would show hypocholesterolemia

Explanation:

Familial hypercholesterolemia is a genetic disorder caused by a reduction and/or defect in the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor. Moreover, apolipoprotein B is the unique protein component of LDL, which plays a critical role in lipid metabolism by binding the LDL receptor. Familial defective apolipoprotein B-100 refers to an inherited disorder associated with mutations of the apolipoprotein B-100 that leads to moderate or severe cases of hypercholesterolemia. Mutations in apolipoprotein B-100 are associated with a reduction in the binding capacity of LDL to the LDL receptor, thereby leading to hypercholesterolemia.

One moth population carries three alleles at a genetic locus: X1, X2and X3. X1is dominant to X2and X3; X1produces red antennae. X2is co-dominant to X3; X2X2produces yellow antennae, X3X3produces white antennae, and X2X3produces light yellow antennae. The phenotypes in a population are as follows: 0.04 white; 0.16 light yellow; 0.16 yellow; 0.64 red.Assuming that this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the X3allele in this population

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - 0.20

Explanation:

According to Hardy Weinberg equation under specific conditions the frequencies of the allele in the gene in a given population remain constant. Thus according to this frequencies of allele and genotype will remain the same through the generation unless there will be no evolutionary influence.

It helps us to predict the genotype frequencies in a large population.  If there are two alleles having allelic frequencies p and q and we know equation of probability and frequencies add to 1

p2+2pq+q2=1

The X3X3 genome produces white antennae. Now Phenotypic frequency of the white antennae is 0.16 or 0.04 in the whole population. Hence the frequency of X3 should be a square root of 0.04 i.e, 0.20.
