Kidneys When you digest a protein, the body breaks down the protein into amino acids which the body then uses to build new proteins. But if there is an excess of amino acids, the body isn't capable of storing those excess amino acids for future use. So the body breaks down the amino acids into glucose, ketones, hydrocarbons and nitrogenous waste. The nitrogenous wastes are then converted to urea by the liver and the urea is extracted from the blood stream by the kidneys and expelled from the body.

In the garden pea, tall vine (D) is dominant over dwarf (d), green pod (Y) is dominant over yellow (y) and round seed (W) is dom

siniylev [52]

Answer:

3/8 tall, green, round

3/8 dwarf, green, round

Explanation:

The progeny which are in highest ratio represent parental plants.

Here in the given question, 3 out of 8 progeny are tall, green, round and 3 out of 8 progeny are dwarf, green, round which are the highest in number so they represent parental plants. The reason behind this is that during crossing over only two non-sister chromatids undergo crossing over while two other parental chromosomes remain intact. Out of the 4 chromosome types, 2 remain the same which will result in the same type of genotype of off-springs as of parents. So even if there is 100% chance of crossing over between non sister chromatids still only 50% will be recombinants rest of the 50% will represent parental type.

Another case may be when two genes are very near to each other then it is quite possible that the genes may not undergo crossing over at all in that case there will be no recombinants at all.

So, it simply means that parentals > recombinants or the progeny which are highest in number represent parentals.

In case of unlinked genes, parentals = recombinants. But, recombinants can never be greater than parentals.

What role does temperature and ph play in cellular respiration?

laiz [17]

The yeast will produce the most cellular respiration at an optimum temperature. This temperature will be at a normal room temperature. If the temperature of the environment surrounding the yeast is too low, the rate will decrease, because the molecules involved in the process of cellular respiration will slow down resulting in lesser rate. In addition, if the temperature of the environment surrounding the yeast is too great, the rate will also decrease, because the enzymes involved in cellular respiration will denature causing the rate to decrease. Therefore, the yeast will have the greatest rate of cellular respiration at room temperature.
