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.

A gene that affects hair length in dogs has two alleles. The allele for short hair (L) is dominant
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A. Only recessive alleles are inherited from homozygous parents.

B. Dominant alleles grow weaker as they are passed from parents to offspring.

C. Only the parent with a dominant allele can pass that allele to offspring in sexual reproduction.

D. A heterozygous parent has an equal chance of passing either the dominant allele or the recessive allele to offspring.

The answer is D

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in dogs. The allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s). This means that allele 'S' will always mask the phenotypic expression of allele 's' in a heterozygous state.

According to the question, two heterozygous dogs (Ss) were crossed to produce 6 shortt-haired offsprings and 2 long-haired offsprings. An heterozygous organism is that which contains two different alleles for a particular gene i.e. a combination of dominant and recessive alleles.

Based on this, during meiosis or gamete formation, an heterozygous dog (Ss) will produce gametes with the short hair allele (S) and long hair allele (s) in equal proportion i.e. 50-50. When the two gametes containing the recessive alleles (s) produced by each heterozygous parent fuses, an offspring with a recessive phenotype (long hair, ss) is produced.

Hence, a long-hair

phenotype can appear in the offspring of two short-haired dogs because a heterozygous parent has equal chance of passing either the dominant or recessive allele to the offspring.

You are studying the amino acid sequence of a protein shared by four organisms. You want to know which organism is most closely
aksik [14]
Well, I need the chart first of all, but second, If you have to find out which one is closely related to A, just take the amino acid sequence and compare the sequence to each organism, and which ever one has the most related sequences, is the closely related organism.
