5 0

<span>The body is constantly changing, no matter what age. It has to maintain homeostasis, or balance at all times or illness/death occurs. If your body is weakened, it then becomes harder to maintain this state. If one component goes out of balance; ie, water content, it affects the whole body. Swelling(edema) CHF(serious heart problem) kidneys may be overtaxed/unable to release the extra fluid. As the body ages organs naturally become less efficient, therefore making homeostasis more challenging.</span>

Different ratios occur in crosses with single gene pairs or two gene pairs. What types of ratios are likely to occur in crosses

likoan [24]

Answer:

Genotype ratio: 1, 1:1, 1:2:1

Phenotype ratio: 1, 3:1

Explanation:

Single gene pair cross is also known as monohybrid cross. This means that only one gene usually with two alleles is observed and it express one trait.

For example, if we name the gene for a certain trait with A, the possible genotypes are AA (dominant homozygous), aa (recessive homozygous) and Aa (heterozygous). Possible crosses are:

P: AA x AA

F1 : all of them are AA

The same is with aa x aa (all of the offspring are with aa genotype)

P: AA x Aa

F1: AA Aa AA Aa (genotype ratio 1:1) (phenotype ratio 3:1)

The same genotype ratio is in aa x Aa (offspring will have aa Aa aa Aa-(genotype ratio 1:1) (phenotype ratio 1:1)

P: Aa x Aa

F1: AA Aa Aa aa (genotype ratio 1:2:1) (phenotype ratio 3:1)

P: AA x aa

F1: Aa Aa Aa Aa (1)

<span>I think the correct answer is no. The sugars in the apple juice do not need to be broken down before used as an energy source. The sugar in the said drink are mostly fructose which can be metabolized by the body for use. Hope this answers the question.</span>
