Explain how some hail can become baseball sized

1 answer:

6 0

Basically, a droplet of water falls, freezes, and is blown back up over and over and over again without hitting the ground. Each time it keeps accumulating more water droplets that keep freezing to the growing hail stone. That's how all hail is formed. When the hail stone is too big for the winds to keep blowing it back up again, it falls. The stronger the updrafts, the bigger the hail will get before falling to the ground. That's why it takes a pretty powerful storm to make a big hail stone -- the winds have to be strong enough to blow an almost baseball-sized piece of ice back upward again for it to keep growing.

Predict where the structural differences would occur between an-pep and other enzymes that do not digest the peptides.

kramer

AN-PEP enzyme refers to a dietary supplement, which has been shown to dissociate gluten in the stomach. It has been proven to help the individuals suffering from Gluten sensitivity or Celiac disease. The scientific name of the enzyme is Aspergillus Niger prolyl endoprotease.

However, certain structural differences would take place between AN-PEP, which prevent the enzyme from digesting the peptides. Some of the differences like amino acid differences would be expected in the active site, and in the regions, which influence the folded composition of the active site.

In a dihybrid cross of two heterozygous individuals, you expect a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio in the offspring, but observe a ratio

almond37 [142]

Answer:

e. Epistatic interaction of the two genes

Explanation:

The 9:7 ratio is typical of the Duplicate Recessive Epistasis.

The expected phenotypic ratiio of the offsrping of a dihybrid cross is:

9 A_B_

3 A_bb

3 aaB_

1 aabb

In the Duplicate Recessive Epistasis, the A_bb, aaB_ and aabb individuals all have the same phenotype, making for the ratio 9:7. What those three genotypes have in common is that in all of them at least one of the two genes is homozygous recessive (either <em>aa</em> or <em>bb</em>).

This usually happens one the products of genes A and B are enzymes of the same metabolic pathway.

Whenever both A and B are present, the pathway can produce the final product and a certain phenotype. However, if any of the dominant alleles is missing, the enzyme is not produced and therefore the final product of pathway is not produced, giving the other phenotype.

As an infant grows toward preschooler age, resting heart rate ________ and blood pressure ________.

Marysya12 [62]

The infant's heart rate decreases as they grow and their blood pressure increases. The normal heart rate of infant is at 70 to 190 but as they reaches toddller age it is decreased to 60 to 140. However blood pressure increased as the child grows as blood pressure is quite dependent on size and the weight of the child.
