Is this multiple choice?!
A pedigree is a symbolic diagram that is used to show the presence and presentation of specific alleles in the families of both parents. This is used mostly for genetically controlled diseases and conditions. If a couple is in genetic counseling a pedigree is valuable in helping to determine the risk of that couple having a child that will either present with the condition or be a carrier for the condition. A pedigree is also composed in a way, with shapes and colors, that is an easy to understand visual representation of the inheritance patterns.
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
Let the disorder be represented by the allele a.
Since the disease is an autosomal recessive one, affected individuals will have the genotype aa and normal individuals will have the genotype Aa or AA.
Since the four adults are carriers, their genotypes would be Aa.
Aa x Aa
Progeny: AA 2Aa aa
Probability of being affected = 1/4
Probability of being a carrier = 1/2
Probability of not being affected = 3/4
(a) The chance that the child second child of Mary and Frank will have alkaptonuria = 1/2
(b) The chance that the third child of Sara and James will be free of the condition = 3/4
(c)
(d) If someone has no family history of the disorder, their genotype would be AA.
AA x aa
4 Aa
<em>The chance that a child with alkaptonuria will have an offspring with alkaptonuria if the child's mate has no family history </em>= 0
(e)
(f) <em>The chance that a child with alkaptonuria will have an offspring with alkaptonuria if the child's mate has no family history</em> = 0
Answer:
The provided events can be classified as:
Initiation
- In prokaryotes, the Shine-Dalgarno sequence pairs with rRNA.
- In E. coli, mRNA binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit.
Elongation
- In E. coli, EF-Tu delivers an aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosome
- Initiator tRNA enters the P site.
- In E. coli, EF-Tu hydrolyzes.
- Translocation occurs
Termination
- The ribosome has mRNA, an empty A site, and deacylated tRNA in the P site
Translation is the process by which polypeptide chain is synthesized based on the codon sequence of the mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid).
It is divided into three stages:
Initiation: The small and large sub-units of the ribosome get assembled around the initiation codon. It forms three sites (A, P, and E site) for interaction tRNA and mRNA.
Elongation: Specific charged-tRNA enters from A site and transfers its amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain in P site. Uncharged tRNA exit from the E site. Ribosome moves or translocates to the next codon.
Termination: As soon as ribosome reaches the termination codon, it releases the newly synthesized polypeptide chain.
The cause of the change in insect characteristics occurred when a few survivors of the 1st spray became resistant to the insecticide. When they had offspring, those insect babies are born with the trait that made them resistant to insecticide. This occurs when the parents pass on the trait to their offspring. The end result is that the insecticide is less effective and more insects survive.
