1 answer:
gulaghasi [49]3 years ago
7 0
Because he/she needs to store large quantities of energy that he/she would require for the race. Pasta mainly consists of wheat which a carbohydrate. carbohydrates are primary source of energy in the body. once an athlete consumes pasta, starch in the wheat will digested to produce excess glucose which will be stored in form of glycogen in the live by the help of hormone insulin. during the race day, when an athlete uses all glucose in the blood, glycogen is converted to glucose through the help of hormone glucagon. glucose is transported to skeletal muscle cells where it is converted to energy.

What is the genotype of a heterozygous person with a cleft chin?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Cc

Explanation:

A cleft chin is an example of a trait that is controlled by genetics. A cleft chin is when there is a dimple in the chin which arises when the two sides of the jaw don’t completely fuse together. Famous people with cleft chins are Henry Cavill, John Travolta and Niall Horan.

A cleft chin is generally thought to be a dominant trait. That means, if an individual carries one copy of the cleft chin gene (heterozygous), then they will display the trait.

There are three options: an individual can be homozygous dominant (CC), homozygous recessive (cc) or heterozygous (Cc). A heterozygous person will always have 2 different alleles (for any trait, not just cleft chin). In this case, a heterozygous person will have a cleft chin, because it is dominant. Therefore, an heterozygous person with a cleft chin will be Cc

Remember, the letter doesn't matter - they could also be denoted as Bb, Qq, Rr, Ff. The letter is arbitrary.
