Plato answer:

It is recessive. Both parents are heterozygous for the trait, but they do not exhibit the disease themselves. If it were a dominant gene, both parents would have the disease if they carried the gene for it.

Human genetics is the study of inheritance as it occurs in human beings. Human genetics encompasses a variety of overlapping fields including: classical genetics, cytogenetics, molecular genetics, biochemical genetics, genomics, population genetics, developmental genetics, clinical genetics, and genetic counseling.

Genes can be the common factor of the qualities of most human-inherited traits. Study of human genetics can be useful as it can answer questions about human nature, understand the diseases and development of effective disease treatment, and understand genetics of human life. This article describes only basic features of human genetics; for the genetics of disorders please see: medical genetics.

Galactosemia is an autosomal recessive hereditary disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme galactose-1- phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) that is needed for the breakdown of the milk sugar, galactose.

To which functional class of proteins does lysozyme belong?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
Lysozymes are under the enzymes-functional class of proteins. Enzymes are the ones responsible for the acceleration of chemical reactions. These are the macromolecular biological catalysts. <span> When we say enzymes, these are proteins which are directly related to the facilitation of the biochemical reactions. These include lactase and pepsin. You can usually hear these when learning about specialty diets or digestive medical conditions. Some of the examples of this protein’s presence are found in tears, human milk, saliva, and mucus. It is because of their ability to break down bacterial cell walls in order to protein improvement and nucleic extraction of efficiency make these lysozymes important </span>proteins<span> in living organisms. The gene responsible for the encoding of the lyzozome enzyme is called the LYZ gene.</span>

A hypothetical three-step metabolic pathway consists of the intermediates W, X, Y, and Z, and the enzymes that catalyze the reac
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

ZBWCYAX

Explanation:

Equation for the intermediates: Z↔W↔Y↔X

1) B catalyzes the breakdown of Z, therefore inhibiting B leads to the build up of Z.

2) If enzyme C is inactive then the organism will not  receive Y to grow, thus Y is a by-product of C.

3) If A is inhibited then W, Y and Z build except for X, thus it make sense that A catalyzes a reaction that leads to X as a by-product.

4) Inhibiting C leads to the reaction toward making Z and W, thus it catalyzes the breakdown of C directly and Z indirectly.

A landslide has isolated a part of the cicada population from the main population. After a few generations, the new generations
umka2103 [35]
<span>The bottleneck effect is the cause of the sudden shift in the genetic information of the population. Due to the landslide, suddenly high number of the members of the main population died, and this caused genetic drift for reducing the variation in the existing generation, which is now widely different from the original one.</span><span />
