Assume that a mutation occurs in the gene responsible for the production of hexosaminidase a, such that only about 50% of the en

zyme activity is found in the heterozygote compared with a homozygous normal individual. if heterozygotes are phenotypically normal, we would say that the mutant allele is recessive to its normal allele.

This statement is true.

In the case of autosomal dominant disease, the person is either homozygous (which is very rare) or heterozygous. On the molecular level, either the mutation produced a new deleterious protein for the organism, or the mutation affected an existing protein in the physiological state and that a 50% activity is not enough to compensate for the needs. of the body.

In case of autosomal recessive disease, the sick person is always homozygous. If the two loci each have a different mutant allele, it is called a "composite heterozygote". People with autosomal recessive inheritance disorder have "mandatory heterozygote" parents.

Answer: The answer is Anthocerophyta

Explanation: Anthocerophyta are widespread and occur in the temperate & tropical zones. The species of plants in this phylum have horn-shaped sporophytes which are known as "flower horn". As in other bryophytes, the sporophyte of this phylum remains attached to its parent gametophyte throughout its life, but unlike these other plants, the sporophyte continues to grow throughout its life; this happens as a group of cells at the base of the horn divide repeatedly. They also possess stomates, which exchange gases between the plant and the air.

The mitochondrial genome evolution in Anthocerophyta is closer to that of seed plants but not as dynamic.

What would be a different way by which you could determine the retention volume for the proteins and molecules analyzed in today
Lunna [17]
An alternative approach to this experiment would be the use of  Spectroscopy. Instead of trying to visualize and guess the fraction with the most intense color, the exact fraction could be found with Spectroscopy. A range of fractions that are the most intense are measured with the absorbance value for each one. The fraction with the highest absorbance value will be the most intense fraction.This method guarantees that the <span>correct retention volume is recorded.</span>
