Palmitic acid is considered a saturated fatty acid since it has no double bond in its structure and is solid at room temperature. It is a long-chain fatty acid with 16-Carbon backbone. It is typically found in fats and waxes such as olive oil and palm oil.
B. Effective against all pathogens
Answer:
% GENOTYPE
FF = 0%
Ff = 50%
ff = 50%
% PHENOTYPE
Black fur = 50%
Grey fur = 60%
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for fur color in dogs. The allele for grey fur (F) is dominant over the allele for black fur (f). This means that a heterozygous dog (Ff) will have a grey fur.
In this question, a heterozygous female (Ff) is said to cross with a recessive male (ff) i.e. Ff × ff. The following gametes will be produced by each parent:
Ff - F and f
ff - f and f
Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following genotypic proportion of offsprings will be produced:
Ff - 1/2 = 50%
ff - 1/2 = 50%
Ff is phenotypically GREY while ff is phenotypically BLACK. This means that 50% of the offsprings will be black and 50% will be grey.
Answer:
The two major differences lies in the function and support system.
Explanation:
The two major differences between an endocrine and an exocrine system are as follows –
a) An endocrine system releases its produce (hormones) into the connective tissue i.e blood while the exocrine system releases hormones directly into the ducts so that it could reach the targeted tissue directly.
For example – the Adrenal gland is an endocrine gland that secretes adrenaline directly into the blood. The salivary gland is an exocrine gland that releases its produce into the collecting duct leading to mouth. However, Pancreas is both endocrine and exocrine gland.
b) The endocrine system cannot work alone therefore it works in coordination with the nervous system to control actions and balance the body. However, the exocrine system works independently
