A particular recessive genetic disorder is polygenic. It is caused by 2 separate, unlinked genes (Genes A and B). To have the di

sorder, a person must be homozygous recessive for BOTH of these genes. A mother is heterozygous for Gene A and homozygous recessive for Gene B. The father is heterozygous for gene Gene A and homozygous dominant for Gene B. If they have 2 children, what is the probability that 1 of them will have this disorder

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

1-Mother:

The probability to pass the disorder to her progeny is: 1 x 1/2 = 1/2

Father:

2-The probability to pass the disorder to his progeny is: 1 x 1/2 = 1/2

Therefore, the probability to have the disorder is equal to the product of both independent events, i.e., 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4 or 25%

Which statement is most accurate concerning how photosystem II compares to the electron transport chain (ETC) of mitochondria? I
nordsb [41]

The correct answer is: In both systems, ATP is produced by chemiosmosis.  

Both of the processes, photosynthesis and electron transport chain in mitochondria use chemiosmosis (movement of ions across a semipermeable membrane, down their electrochemical gradient) to produce energy or ATP (via ATP synthase). The movement of hydrogen ions across the thylakoid membrane in order to galvanize the production of ATP is equal to the movement of those ions across the inner mitochondria membrane. Electrons are accepted by NADPH in photosynthesis (but not FADH2 as in mitochondria).
