Answer:

Option (2).

Explanation:

Ovalbumin is the protein present n the egg white and constitutes more than 55% of the egg's protein. The ovalbumin acts as the main storage protein of the eggs.

Proteins are the polymers of the amino acids. As ovalbumin is protein, it must contains the chains of the amino acids linked together through peptide bond. The chains of amino acids folds, twist in a proper manner and attains the particular 3D shape of the protein.

Thus, the answer is option (2).

Nitrofurantoin used during the fifth week of pregnancy places the neonate at risk for which condition?

zhenek [66]

Nitrofurantoin is antibiotic drug commonly used to treat urinary tract infections in pregnant women because of its safety and effective use (the body quickly filters it out). It is not recommended to be used in late pregnancy due to the potential risk of hemolytic anemia in the newborn.

But, recent studies suggested that there is a possible association between congenital malformations following exposure to nitrofurantoin during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Marysya12 [62]

If Dr. Taylor's CVA had occurred in the same region of the right cerebral hemisphere, the thing that would have been different about her symptoms is the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex is said to be an essential part of our brain or the most important part of our brains.

In pea plants, long stems are dominant to short stems, purple flowers are dominant to white, and round peas are dominant to wrin

meriva

Assuming the genes are not linked nor interacting with each other, the expected number of long stemmed plants with purple flowers, producing wrinkled peas, L-P-rr, is 288.

<h3>Available data</h3>

long stems are dominant to short stems
purple flowers are dominant to white,
round peas are dominant to wrinkled

Each trait is determined by a single, different gene.

A heter0zyg0us plant is self-crossed
F1) 2,048 descendants

Let us name te alleles as follows

L ⇒ Long stem
l ⇒ Short stem
P ⇒ Purple flowers
p ⇒ white flowers
R ⇒ Round peas
r ⇒ wrinkled peas

Cross) heter0zyg0us plant is self-crossed

Parental) LlPpRr

Gametes) LPR, LPr, LpR, Lpr, lPR, lPr, lpR, lpr

Assuming that these genes are not linked nor interacting with each other, to make the calcs easier we will make crosses considering each gene separately.

Stems

Parental) Ll x Ll

F1) 1/4 LL, 2/4 Ll, 1/4 ll

3/4 long stem, 1/4 short stem

Flower color

Parental) Pp x Pp

F1) 1/4 PP, 2/4 Pp, 1/4 pp

3/4 purple flowers, 1/4 white flowers

Peas

Parental) Rr x Rr

F1) 1/4 RR, 2/4 Rr, 1/4 rr

3/4 round peas, 1/4 wrinkled peas

Now, we will get the proportion of individuals with long stems, purple flowers, producing wrinkled peas, L-P-rr

Note: The symbol - is representing either a dominant or a recessive allele.

From the crosses, we know that

3/4 are long stemmed,
3/4 have purple flowers, and
1/4 have wrinkled peas.

To get the proportion of individuals expressing all these traits together, we just need to multiply these values.

3/4 L- x 3/4 P- x 1/4 rr = 9/64 L-P-rr

Knowing that the total number of plants is 2,048 and that there are 64 possible gametes combinations from this cross, we will use the proportion 9/64 to get the number of plants with these traits.

64 ------------- 2,048 plants

9 -------------- X = (9 x 2048) / 64 = 288 plants.

We expect to find 288 long stemmed plants with purple flowers, producing wrinkled peas.
