ATP is a special____, and is the energy "currency" of the cell.A) nucleic acidB) carbohydratesC) lipidD) protein
1 answer:
Adenosine triphosphate or ATP is a compound that stores and provides the energy required to perform a variety of biochemical processes in living beings.
After being consumed, it losses one or two of its phosphates and becomes adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or adenosine monophosphate (AMP).
It can also act as a coenzyme and be a precursor to DNA and ARN because it is a nucleic acid.
Each molecule of ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, formed by an adenine (a nitrogenous base), a ribose (a sugar), and triphosphate.
This means the correct answer is A) nucleic acid

Answer:
The offsprings of this punnet square will be Dd, Dd, dd and dd in a ratio 1Dd : 1dd
See attached image for punnet square completion
Explanation:
This question involves a cross involving a single gene with alleles D and d where allele D is dominant over allele d i.e. D will mask the phenotypic expression of d in a heterozygous state.
This cross is between a heterozygous parent (Dd) and a homozygous recessive parent (dd). Parent Dd will produce gametes D and d while parent dd will produce gametes d and d.
Using these gametes in a punnet square, four possible offsprings with two distinct genotypes will be produced. The genotypes are: Dd and dd in a ratio 1:1
Hence, the possibility of having a heterozygous dominant offspring is 1/2 while the possibility of having a homozygous recessive offspring is also 1/2.
