An unknown sample known to contain either triglycerides or phospholipids is placed in water. The sample forms a separate layer o

n top of the water, with no mixing in the bulk volume of water. What type of lipid does the sample contain, and what structural element is responsible for the sample’s behavior in water? a. Triglycerides, double bonds in fatty acid tails b. Triglycerides, ester linkages c. Triglycerides, long-chain hydrocarbon tails d. Phospholipids, ester linkages e. Phospholipids, glycerol backbone

Answer: Option C) Triglycerides, long-chain hydrocarbon tails

Explanation:

Triglycerides are lipids, with three fatty acids (the same or different) having long hydrocarbon tails.

The hydrocarbon tails in triglycerides is the structural element that makes it insoluble in water as seen in the sample forming a separate layer on top of the water because it does not form hydrogen bonds with water molecules i.e hydrophobic

Thus, option C is the answer

For three traits inherited in a dominant/recessive pattern, what is the probability of an offspring in a trihybrid cross between
AleksandrR [38]

Answer: For three traits inherited in a dominant/recessive pattern, the probability of an offspring in a trihybrid cross between parents heterozygous for all three traits to be recessive at exactly two of the three loci is 23/64.

Explanation: Let A, B and C represent the dominant alleles and a, b and c represent the recessive alleles. The genotype of each of the parent will be AaBbCc since it has been said to be heterozygous for all the three traits. There are eight (8) possible different types of gametes from each of the genotype. This can be calculated using 2^n where n is the number of heterozygous loci.

The number of heterozygous loci in the genotype AaBbCc is three (3). 2^3 = 8. The gametes are;

ABC

ABc

AbC

Abc

aBC

aBc

abC and

abc.

Therefore, sixty-four possible offsprings are expected from the cross AaBbCc x AaBbCc.

Out of these offsprings, twenty-three (23) are expected to be heterozygous at two loci as boldly shown in the attached image.

Through photosynthesis a simple sugar is produced. Where do the carbon atoms come from to produce this sugar molecule?
yan [13]
They come from the atmosphere, since plants use carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates :)
