In certain organisms, like humans, there are two morphologically distinct types of gametes: (1) the male gamete (i.e. sperm cell) and (2) the female gamete (i.e. ovum). The male gamete is smaller in size and motile whereas the female gamete is several times bigger and non-motile. The haploid condition of the two gametes is essential so that at fertilization during sexual reproduction the integrity of the chromosomal number is maintained throughout generations.
Hope this helps.
<u>Answer:</u> They have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms.
<em>Saturated fatty acids have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms.</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
A fatty acid that doesn’t contain any double bond between carbons in their molecular structure is known as saturated fatty acid. They are also incapable of absorbing hydrogen in their molecular structure thus the name.
Saturated fatty acids are generally found in animal fats like butter, milk and dairy products. Because of the higher melting point of those fatty acids, they are generally found in solid state at reem temperature.
Complete question:
If the recessive allele for cystic fibrosis is represented as c, classify the following genotypes as homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, or carriers: CC,Cc, and cc. State which one has the phenotype of cystic fibrosis.
Answer:
CC - homozygous dominant
cc - homozygous recessive
Cc - carriers
cc will have the phenotype
Explanation:
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder that affects the production of mucus in the body, primarily affecting the lungs and digestive system.
Because it is autosomal recessive, an affected individual needs to inherit 2 copies of the faulty gene. The presence of just one normal copy of the gene is sufficient not to cause the disease
In genetics, the dominant allele is usually displayed as a capital letter and the recessive as a small letter. Homozygous means someone has 2 copies of the same allele, heterozygous means they have different alleles. Therefore, CC - homozygous dominant, cc - homozygous recessive, and Cc - carriers. Only those with a cc genotype will be affected, as the presence of one dominant allele is enough to block the phenotype
