Last week you were wondering what Jessica and Tom's babies might look like with respect to their eyebrows and earlobes (both Tom

and Jessica have thick eyebrows, controlled by gene E, with thick eyebrows dominant to thin eyebrows, and both of them have free earlobes, controlled by gene F, with free earlobes dominant to attached earlobes). You know that Tom's mom has attached earlobes. Additionally, Tom's mom has thin eyebrows, and so does Jessica's dad. No one in Jessica's pedigree going back to her great grandparents are known to have had attached earlobes, so you assume that she must be homozygous for this trait. If your inferences based on their known pedigrees are correct, what is the probability that Jessica's and Tom's first baby will have free earlobes and thin eyebrows?

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

The possible genotypes and phenotypes are:

  • EE or Ee: thick eyebrows
  • ee: thin eyebrows
  • FF or Ff: free earlobes
  • ff: attached earlobes

Tom and Jessica have thick eyebrows and free earlobes. Tom's mother has attached earlobes, so Tom must have inherited an <em>f</em> allele from her, and because he has free earlobes he must be heterozygous<em> Ff. </em>We assume Jessica is homozygous for free earlobes <em>FF</em>.

Tom's mother and Jessica's father have thin eyebrows, so they are both <em>ee</em> and therefore both Tom and Jessica must be heterozygous <em>Ee</em>.

From the above information, Tom has the genotype EeFf and Jessica is EeFF. If you do a Punnett Square of this cross, you'll get that the probability of having a child with free earlobes and thin eyebrows (eeF_) is 25%.

Before returning to the heart, blood from the digestive tract first passes through the..
loris [4]

Answer: Liver

Explanation:

The hepatic portal system of liver connects the capillaries of the gastrointestinal tract to the liver. The nutrient rich blood from the gastrointestinal tract reaches the liver.

The blood that is returned back to the heart is first bought to liver and then it is returned back to the heart.

From the liver after processing the blood goes into heart for further processing.

Hence, the correct answer is option d

Rotenone, a toxic compound isolated from plants, strongly inhibits the transfer of electrons from iron-sulfur centers in Complex
Darya [45]

Answer:

(A) It prevents electron flow from the iron-sulfur centers in complex 1 to the ubiquinone. Due to reduction in electron transfer rate, there is a decrease in the production of ATP which is dangerous for some insects and fish over time.

(B) It also prevents electron flow from cytochrome b to cytochrome c1 at the complex III which leads to QH2 accumulation. If oxidized Q is not present, these is alteration of electron flow and the production of ATP is altered.

(C) Rotenone only prevent electron transfer into the chain at Complex 1  but it does not affect electron transfer at Complex II. Although there is slow ETC, it does not stop completely. However, Antimycin A prevents the oxidation of QH2, the final electron acceptor crom complex I and complex II. Thereby, stopping the production of both ETC and ATP. It can be concluded that antimycin A is a more potent poison.

Explanation:

Rotenone prevents electron flow from the iron-sulfur centers in complex 1 to the ubiquinone. Due to a reduction in electron transfer rate, there is a decrease in the production of ATP which is dangerous for some insects and fish over time. Antimycin A also prevents electron flow from cytochrome b to cytochrome c1 at the complex III which leads to QH2 accumulation. If oxidized Q is not present, there is an alteration of electron flow and the production of ATP is altered. Antimycin A is more potent than rotenone.
