Answer:

Pleiotropy

Explanation:

Pleiotropy is a genetic condition in which a single gene conditions the expression of multiple phenotype. There are different types of pleiotropy depending on the underlining mechanism

  • <em>gene pleiotropy</em>
  • <em>developmental pleiotropy</em>
  • <em>selectional pleiotropy</em>
  • <em>antagonistic pleiotropy </em>

<em>Phenylketonuria is a disease characterized by increased level of amino acid phenylalanine in the blood. It caused by mutation to the gene responsible for breaking down phenylalanine in the blood. Elevated level of phenylalanine causes other issues such as mental problems, urine coloration and reduction in skin pigmentation. This is a clear case of pleiotropy.</em>

The generation of _______ occurs by chemiosmosis. DNA RNA NADP ATP
zavuch27 [327]

Answer;

ATP.

The generation of ATP occurs by Chemiosmosis.


Explanation;

In the electron transport chain, hydrogen ions in the matrix space can only pass through the inner mitochondrial membrane through a membrane protein called ATP synthase.

As these protons move through ATP synthase, ADP is turned into ATP.

The production of ATP using the process of chemiosmosis in mitochondria is called oxidative phosphorylation.

The ability to taste the chemical PTC is due to a single gene in humans.
Ganezh [65]

0:3:1

Explanation:

Tasters have the dominant allele for the itter taste of PTC, they can be homozygous TT and heterozygous Tt.

Non-tasters are supposed as autosomal recessive characters

they are homozygous recessive tt when expressed

Given in the equation two heterozygotes parents would produce offspring with the trait in the following ratio.

Tt (parent 1)

Tt (parent 2)

 If a punnet square is made

    T      t

T  TT    Tt

t    Tt     tt

The phenotypic character is in the ratio of 0:3:1

There will be 25% chances of recessive trait of non-tasters in the progeny of heterozygous parents.
