What substances in plants and eggs are tightly bound to iron and limit its absorption into the body?

1 answer:

7 0

The substances in plants and eggs that makes it tightly bound to iron and to be able to limits its own absorption in the body is oxalic acid or phytates. An oxalic acid has the physical appearance of a colorless crystalline solid and it is considered to be an organic compound while the phytates has the ability to bind in dietary materials.

9. Consider the below Punnett square cross. Explain how you could use it to determine which parent

kogti [31]

Answer: The father determines the biological sex of a baby

Explanation: Human beings have two sex chromosomes, males have XY chromosomes whereas females have XX chromosomes. During fertilization, an egg from a woman fuses with a sperm cell from a man to form a zygote. Women have two X chromosomes (XX) and any point in time they can only release an egg bearing an X chromosome but males have one X and one Y chromosome, therefore they can either release a sperm cell with an X chromosome or a sperm cell with a Y chromosome. When an egg with X-chromosome fuses with a sperm cell with an X chromosome, the resulting baby is a female but when an egg with an X chromosome fuses with a sperm cell with a Y chromosome, the resulting baby is a male.

What makes the difference in both sexes is the Y chromosome from the man, therefore the father determines the biological sex of a baby.

At a particular location in the human genome is the sequence AATGGAGTC on one of the chromosomes. This sequence occurs in about

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

c. AATGGAGTT

d. AATAGAGTC

Explanation:

SNP is a single nucleotide polymorphism. It means that a particular sequence varies among the members of a population with respect to the single nucleotide. The given sequence of the human genome is "AATGGAGTC". The sequence "AATGGAGTT" of option C differs from it with respect to the single nucleotide at the last position (C is replaced with T).

Similarly, the sequence of option D "AATAGAGTC" differs with respect to the nucleotide at position 4 (G in the original sequence is replaced with A). Therefore, these two sequences represent SNP with respect to the given sequence of the human genome.
