7 0

Answer:

E) a natural mutagen.

Explanation:

Aflatoxin is a toxin byproduct produced by the fungi especially Aspergillus molds which grows attached to the roots of various crops like the peanuts, wheat and many others.

The aflatoxin is considered a carcinogen and a mutagen as it causes certain changes in the structure of DNA.  The aflatoxin mainly affects the liver and causes a mutation in the genes of the liver and since the aflatoxin is produced naturally by the molds, therefore, is considered a natural mutagen.

Thus, option-E is correct.

Black eyes are dominant to orange eyes, and green skin is dominant to white skin. sam, a mendalien with black eyes and green ski
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
<span>Sam, a mendalien with black eyes and green skin, has a parent with orange eyes and white skin. Sam has a dominant phenotype expressed but he has a parent with a recessive phenotype which means he has a heterozygote gene.

Carole is a mendalien with orange eyes and white skin. Since Carole express both recessive phenotypes she should be homozygote recessive.

The key to this problem is how Sam dominant gene will be inherited. Since there are two heterozygote genes, it will be 50% dominant gene inherited for each phenotype. Then the result should be: 
25% Dominant + Dominant =</span>black eyes and green skin<span>
25% Dominant + Recessive =</span>black eyes and white skin
25% Recessive + Dominant  =orange eyes and green skin
25% Recessive + Recessive =orange eyes and white skin

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

All four types of polysaccharides are homopolymers ie they are made up of repeating units of only one type of monomers.

Starch, glycogen and cellulose are made up of repeating monomeric units of glucose with the number of glucose units and the different linkage types different these molecules. E.g the linkage between glucose units in glycogen is alpha 1-4 linkages and in cellulose, we have glucose in beta 1-4 linkages.

In chitin, a derivative of glucose is present in repeating units, here, we have N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in beta 1-4 linkages.
