Answer:

1. UV rays.

2. X-rays.

3. Chemical agents. Example Ethidium bromide.

Explanation:

Three environmental factors that can damage the genes that produce those enzymes include UV rays, X-rays and chemical agents. These agents are called mutagens. When an organism is exposed to these agents, they alter the cells DNA resulting to changes in the genetic makeup of the organism and in turn affect the production of enzymes. Enzymes are proteins, and once the DNA is affected, their production is inhibited. In most cases, mutated DNA produces enzymes with poor or abnormal function.

The following are the environmental factors that can damage genes that code for these enzymes. radiation from sun, various chemicals and x-rays. these agents are referred to as environmental mutagens. they result to changes in the genetic make up of the organism and in turn affect the production of enzymes. enzymes are protein in nature and once the DNA has been compromised their production is affected. in most cases mutated DNA produces enzymes with lost or abnormal function.

In goats, the gene for coat color is on an autosome and light brown color is dominant to black. A light brown male is mated to a

Llana [10]

Autosomal dominant condition occurs when alleles of genes present on chromosomes in the autosomes (somatic) mask the effect of the other allele.

They can produce a light brown kid and the chances of producing this is 50%.

Light brown color is dominant to black. A light brown male is mated to a black female, producing a black kid.

For the two to produce a black kid which is in the recessive condition, the male has to be heterozygous for the condition (Bb).

Let light brown be (BB or Bb) and black be (bb)

Parents : B b x b b

Offspring genotype: Bb bb

Ratio: 1 : 1 (50%)

Adding those organic materials back into the soil helps it become rich in nutrients that have been used in order to grow the plants to begin with.

I hope I was able to help. Best of luck!

In corn plants, plant height is controlled by one gene with two alleles how many alleles that control the trait for height are p

Vesna [10]

Answer: 2 alleles

The number of the allele that a gene contains could be various. The allele will determine the phenotype of the organism, so more allele means more possible combination. There is only 1 gene that control the corn height and that gene only has two alleles. So, the total allele that controls the corn height should be: 1 gene * 2 alleles/gene= 2 alleles

Explain why the symptoms of celiac disease are consistent with the effects of celiac disease on the small intestine

MrRa [10]

The plato answer is:

Celiac disease damages the intestinal villi. As a result, nutrients pass through the digestive tract without being broken down and absorbed properly. This indigestion will eventually cause irritation in the intestine as well as gastrointestinal discomfort.
