A carbohydrate composed of two covalently bonded simple sugars is called a <u>disaccharide</u>.

Carbohydrates or sugars are one of the four main categories of the macromolecules that make up living things (the other three being nucleic acids, proteins and lipids). It can either be a simple sugar (sugar monomer or monosaccharide) or a polymer of simple sugars.

Carbohydrates are composed entirely of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms. Simple sugars or monosaccharides contain six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms. When two monosaccharides bond covalently, they form a disaccharide.

Some examples of disaccharides include:

  • Sucrose or table sugar - It is made up of one glucose molecule and one fructose molecule
  • Lactose or milk sugar - It is made up of one glucose and one galactose molecule
  • Maltose or malt sugar - It is made up of two glucose molecules.

ki77a [65]

Answer:

In strict mode, the narrow-sense heritability is the proportion of the additive genetic variance that contributes to the total of the phenotypic variance. This value can be associated with the inheritance of the a-thalassemia .

Explanation:

A-thalassemia is a genetic disorder caused by mutations affecting four different genes that encode alpha-globin, thus affecting the hemoglobin production process and, consequently, oxygen transport. The mode of inheritance of the a-thalassemia may be associated with narrow sense heritability since the phenotype is manifested by gradation, i.e., each allele might contribute in similar mode to this genetic condition.

How did the carbon atom get into cellular respiration
Pepsi [2]

Carbon atoms are converted into metabolites like acetic acid, lactic acid, aldehydes, etc via the action of different bacteria. In the process of fermentation or cellular respiration, carbon atoms are cleaved into three carbon molecule called pyruvate then eventually forming into metabolites.
