The answer to the above question is alleles.

<h3>What are Alleles?</h3>

The two nucleic acids in living things that are employed for conveying and storing genetic information are RNA and DNA. The genetic material in living things is called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and it contains sections coding for beneficial proteins and products as well as carrying genetic information from one generation to the next. These chunks are referred to as genes.

However, genes also have a different form that is in charge of the genetic diversity in the qualities they are coding for. Allele refers to a gene's alternative or variant version. In a diploid creature like the human, each trait is encoded by genes that include contrasting pairs of alleles, allowing variation for that specific trait, i.e. two alleles for each gene. For instance, a gene with two alleles that codes for one of the human height traits includes the short variety (t) and the tall variety (T).

Does the process of glycolysis require an input of energy? provide specific evidence from model 1 to support your answer.

borishaifa [10]

Yes. In the beginning, glycolysis requires 2 ATP molecules. One ATP allows for the phosphorylation of the glucose molecule to fructose-6-phosphate and another phosphorylation to fructose-1, 6-biphosphate. The fructose-1, 6- bisphosphate is then cleaved into two glyceraldehyde-3-phosphates that then enter the energy generating part of the glycolysis biochemical reaction.

A man has extra digits (six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot). His wife and their daughter have the normal number

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option D. 1/2

Explanation:

Extra digits on hands and feet mean an individual has six fingers in each hand and feet, this is known as polydactyly. Polydactyly shows an autosomal dominant type of inheritance pattern.

In this case, the mother is normal so she must be recessive alleles and the first daughter is normal so the father must have a recessive allele which means he is heterozygous.

Cross:

Man = Dd

Woman = dd

Their children :

D d

d Dd dd

Probability of polydactyl child = 2/4 or 1/2 or 50%

What is the probability that a child would inherit x-linked rececive allele from his father

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Please give me brainlist

Explanation:

There is a 50 percent chance that daughters carry the gene and can pass it to the next generation. There is a 50 percent chance that a daughter will not carry the gene and, therefore, cannot pass it on. There is a 50 percent chance that sons do not have the gene and will be healthy.
