Earlobes can be either attached or detached. The allele for attached earlobes is recessive (e), and the allele for detached earl

obes is dominant (E). What must be true if a boy is born with attached earlobes? A. He has no recessive alleles. B. He has a homozygous genotype. C. He has a heterozygous genotype. D. He has one of each allele.

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

The attached earlobes refer to a recessive trait, thus, it needs the existence of the two copies of the recessive allele in order to generate the particular trait. Hence, the boy must be homozygous recessive for the trait.  

However, it is possible only in three circumstances that the boy can possess attached earlobes. That is, when both the parents are heterozygous for the trait, when both the parents possess attached earlobes, or when one parent is homozygous recessive and the other is heterozygous for the same.

Answer:

Option B, He has a homozygous genotype

Explanation:

A dominant allele is one which will overshadow the expression of recessive allele. Thus, when a dominant allele and recessive allele appears together in the genotype of offspring , only the trait associated with the dominant allele is expressed. Therefore , if a recessive allele trait is to be expressed , the offspring must have both the recessive allele

Let us see case here

A. Allele for attached earlobes is recessive (e)

B.  Allele for detached earlobes is dominant (E)

If offspring has EE genotype, then he/she would have detached earlobes

If offspring has Ee genotype, then also he/she would have detached earlobes as in heterogyzous genotype traits of dominant alleles are expressed.

If offspring has ee genotype, then only he/she would have attached earlobes

Genotype ee is a homozygous recessive genotype

Starlings produce an average of five eggs in each clutch. If there are more than five, the parents cannot adequately feed the yo
max2010maxim [7]

The the behavior observed in starlings where they produce an average of five eggs in each clutch is an example of behavioral adaptation.

<h3>What are adaptation?</h3>

Adaptation refers to the special features or structures possessed by organisms which enhances their chances of survival in their environment.

The adaptation can either be behavioral or structural.

In the case of the starlings, due to environmental pressures, they have learned to lay an average of five eggs.

Therefore, the behavior observed in starlings is an example of behavioral adaptation.

1.5 (b) proteins quiz A useful model for enzyme action is the: the lock and key model. double helix model. ball and socket model
Goryan [66]

Answer:

A useful model for enzyme action is the Lock and Key model.

Explanation:

The Lock and Key model or theory was first postulated by <u>Emil Fischer</u> in 1894. It is used to represent the enzyme and its specific substrate. The enzyme (lock) is specifically activated by the substrate (key) through its active site (key hole) to produce a catalyzed reaction. If the keys are too small or too big for the key hole, it will not produce any reaction.

The Double Helix model by Watson and Crick is used to represent the DNA present in an individual. This is made up of <u>two strands of DNA</u> bounded by hydrogen bonds. In between these bonds are nitrogenous bases <u>adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T), and cytosine (C).</u>

<u />

The Ball and Socket model represents body joints, specifically the hip and the shoulder joints. The shape of the <u>head of the joint is spherical</u> and <u>fits into a cup-like depression of the receiving bone</u>. The <u>range of motion </u>of this joint is usually <u>wide</u> and has <u>one central point</u>.

The Amino Acid Chain model, also known as polypeptides, are linked together by a <u>peptide bond</u>. A peptide bond is produced by hydrolysis. The chain usually <u>starts with the amino group and ends with the carboxyl group</u>.

Answer:

The correct answer is -

1.1 A. herbivore - greenfly

b. producer - rose

1.2. 1 kJ/m2/year

1.3 rose plants will increase, ladybirds will decrease, blackbirds will decrease.

Explanation:

In this food chain,

Rose >>Greenfly >>Ladybird >>Blackbird

Rose plants are the producers as they generate their food and energy and does not depend on other organisms where as greenfly are the primary consumer or herbivore as they depend on the rose plant for their food and energy only, however, ladybird as secondary consumer and blackbird as tertiary consumer depend on greenfly and ladybird respectively.

If rose plants have 1000 kJ/m2 /year of energy and as it is known that only 10% moves to the next tropic level then blackbird would have:

rose = 1000

greenfly = 1000*10/100= 100 kJ

ladybird = 100*10/100 = 10kJ

blackbird = 10*10/100 = 1 kJ

If greenfly removes from here the rose plant will increase as these depends and eat rose plants and lady bird will decrease as these are the primary source of food for lady bird and if ladybird decrease blackbird also decrease.
