The DNA is packaged... it starts by being wrapped around special protein molecules (histones). This forms a nucleosome.

Each of the four pedigrees that follow represents a human family within which a genetic disease is segregating. Affected individ

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The following four traits are -:

Pedigree 1 - A recessive trait (autosomal recessive) is expressed by pedigree 1.
Pedigree 2- Recessive inheritance is defined by Pedigree 2.
Pedigree 3 - The inheritance of the dominant trait (autosomal dominant) is illustrated by Pedigree 3.
Pedigree 4- An X-like dominant trait is expressed by Pedigree 4.

Explanation:

Explaination of each pedigree chart-

Pedigree 1 demonstrates the recessive trait since their children have been affected by two unaffected individuals. If the characteristics were X-linked, in order to have an affected daughter, I-1 would have to be affected. $X^A$ In this, both parents are autosomal recessive trait carriers, so the child will be affected by a 1/4 (aa)
Recessive inheritance is defined by Pedigree 2. This is X-related inheritance as autosomal recessive inheritance has already been accounted for in part 1. This inference is confirmed by evidence showing that the father (I-1) is unaffected and that only the sons exhibit the characteristic in generation II, suggesting that the mother must be the carrier. The individual I-2 is a carrier for this X-linked trait. A typical Xa chromosome is attached to the unaffected father (I-1), so the chance of carrier II-5 is 1/2. Probability of an affected son = 1/2 (probability II-5 is a carrier) x 1/2 (probability II -5 contributes ( $X^A$ ) x 1/2 (probability of Y from father II-6) = 1/8. An affected daughter's likelihood is 0 because a typical $X^A$ must be contributed by II-6.
The inheritance of the dominant trait is demonstrated by Pedigree 3 because affected children still have affected parents (remember that all four diseases are rare). The trait must be autosomal dominant because it is passed down to the son by the affected father. There is a 1/2 risk that the heterozygous mother (II-5) would pass on mutant alleles to a child of either sex for an autosomal dominant feature.
Pedigree 4 is an X-linked dominant function characterized by the transmission to all of his daughters from the affected father but none of his son. On the mutant X chromosome, the father (I-1) passes on to all his daughters and none of his sons. As seen by his normal phenotype, II-6 therefore does not bear the mutation. An affected child's likelihood is 0.

Exposure of zebrafish nuclei to meiotic cytosol resulted in phosphorylation of NEP55 and L68 proteins by cyclin-dependent kinase

Tpy6a [65]

Answer: THEY ARE INVOLVED IN THE DISASSEMBLY OF THE NUCLEAR ENVELOPE

Explanation: The disassembly of the nuclear envelope is triggered by the cyclin‐dependent kinase at the onset of mitosis. At this point, Integral nuclear membrane proteins diffuse/move into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) after nuclear envelope breakdown. The nuclear envelope reassembles around compact chromosome mass at late anaphase/telophase and the chromosomes condenses and become visible.

What specialized structures does crayfish have that make it well suited to its environment

Zinaida [17]

Crayfish are invertebrates which means they don't have a backbone. They are also arthropods, which means that they have a protective exoskeleton on the outside of their body. Other arthropods include insects, spiders, and centipedes. Crayfish continually shed their exoskeleton and regrow a new one. During this transition is when they are most vulnerable to predators because they aren't protected by their outer shell.

Crayfish are found all over the world in many different freshwater environments, such as rivers, creeks, springs, and swamps. But this doesn't necessarily mean that you will be able to find them. They are somewhat cryptic because they dig out homes for themselves under rocks and blend in well with their environment. Crayfish will ardently defend this dwelling against intruders using their strong front claws
