Explanation:
The problem says that the hairless phenotype never breeds true. That means that it's not the result of a homozygous genotype (H₁H₁ or H₂H₂), so it is caused by the heterozygous genotype (H₁H₂).
The <u>expected </u>offspring from the cross between two Mexican hairless would be:
<h3>P
H₁H₂ x
H₁H₂</h3><h3>F1 1/4
H₁H₁, 2/4
H₁H₂ and 1/4
H₂H₂.</h3>
And the <u>expected</u> phenotypic ratio 3:1. However, the observed offspring shows a 2:1 ratio. What's happening?
If the observed phenotypic ratio in the offspring of a monohybrid cross (a single gene with two alleles) is 2:1, we can suspect that one of the genotypes is lethal in homozygosis and therefore does not appear in the progeny (the puppies are born dead).
If we proposed that the H₂ allele is lethal in homozygosis, then:
- The H₁H₁ genotype would cause normal puppies --> 1
- The H₁H₂ genotype would cause hairless puppies --> 2
- The H₂H₂ is lethal and causes the death of puppies --> 0
The phenotypic ratios change to 2:1, as observed in the experiment.
Answer:
D) Silent mutation on second codon, third amino acid changed from ILE to ASN.
Explanation:
Silent mutations are usually point mutation where you change one nucleotide. Since, the nucleotide changed is the third position, it does not affect the protein being manufactured (it will still put the amino acid Ala) [look up the codon redundancy on youtub.e to understand how awesome nature is!]
On the other hand, the other mutation introduced is Missense mutation where a different Amino acid is added due to change in codon (goes from ILE to ASN).
Answer:
B
Explanation:
When a Physician writes orders as ad lib, this means that the patient that the order is written for can have as much as they desire of the specific item that the Physician specifies in the order.

Answer:
Stored water - gravitational energy
Water fall - kinetic energy
Turbine - kinetic energy
Powerlines - electric energy
Explanation:
Dams are used to store or hold water for hydroelectric power plants. This stored water which has gravitational energy is a form of potential energy.
When the water is left to fall and run fast through the turbine, the gravitational energy is transformed into kinetic energy which makes the turbine to spin.
As the turbine spins, kinetic energy that is produced also powers the shaft of the engine in the electric generator, which produces electricuty.
Kinetic energy is transformed to electric energy and transmitted along powerlines.
*See attachment below for labelled energy that is being transformed at several points.
