A disaccharide is produced by joining 2 monosaccharide (single sugar) units. For the formation of maltose, <span>2 glucose molecules are combined using a condensation reaction, with the removal of water.

alpha-D-glucose + </span>alpha-D-glucose = Maltose + H2O

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Answer:

The maltose equation is a condensation equation and is expressed by the formula: alpha-D-glucose + alpha-D-glucose = Maltose + H2O

Explanation:

Maltose is a carbohydrate, an organic molecule made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Maltose is a disaccharide, that is, formed by two molecules of simple glycids (glucose) joined by an acetal bond. This specific bond is called α-1,4'-glycosidic bond. The linkage occurs between C-1 of one sugar subunit and C-4 of the other.

The glucose formation equation is expressed by the formula: alpha-D-glucose + alpha-D-glucose = Maltose + H2O. This is a condensation equation characterized by the release of water in addition to the final product.

mash [69]

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%

Zolol [24]
<span>This is probably caused by ill-fitting shoes putting pressure on certain areas of the foot and would be called a Corn.
In this context, corn refers to some sort of calluses that appear if we constantly use ill-fitting shoes. The pressure that caused by the ill-fitting shoes will create some sort friction that will make the skin on that area become thicken.</span>

How does Pteromyzon differ from scolidon and labeo fishes?
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Due to agnathous, no paired fins and scales.

Explanation:

Pteromyzon fish is different from scolidon and labeo fishes because Pteromyzon fish is not a true fish. The main reason for this is that Pteromyzon fish is agnathous means having no jaws and it doesn't have paired fins and scales on their body while all these features are present on the body of  scolidon and labeo fishes so we can conclude from this discussion that Pteromyzon fish is different from scolidon and labeo fishes.

The earliest animals on earth probably arose from colonial protists, so what does the body plan of the sponges suggest?
d1i1m1o1n [39]
<span>The plan of the sponges suggests that, if animals did arise from colonial protists, that they can and will evolve into animals again in the future. Since protists are grouped in a colony and combine to make one organism, there is a possibility of endless capabilities out there for different and new animals that could potentially become a realization.</span>

A man, joe, has classic hemophilia, an x-linked recessive disease. classify each person depending on whether or not joe could ha
MrRissso [65]
1-
First, i m going to explain how the disease is inherited.
Like it says in the question, hemophilia's gene is carried on the X chromosome and is recessive.
Females inherit two X chromosomes, one from each parent. They are: XX
Males inherit one X chromosome from their mother and a Y chromosome from their father. They are XY.

I'll represent with Xᵃ- when the chromosome has the disease's gene and with only an X when that chromosome is normal.

2-
If Joe has hemophilia is because the X chromosome that was inherited from the mother, came with the disease. Since men only have one X chromosome, the gene will be expressed.
However, this doesn't mean that the mother had the disease, she could be only a carrier with this genotype: XᵃX
(there is not enough information to be sure which one is she)

The answers:
3-
Maternal grandmother- COULD HAVE INHERITED
Like i said before, Joe's mother had a least one X chromosome with the disease's gene, and that came from either her father or her mother( joe's Maternal grandmother).
If it came from the grandfather, that means that he was hemophilic.
If it came from the grandmother, that means that she was a carrier or also had the disease. There is not enough info to be sure which genotype she has but either way, there is a possibility.

4-
Maternal grandfather- COULD HAVE INHERITED
Joe's mother had a least one X chromosome with the disease's gene, and that came from either her father( maternal grandfather) or her mother.
If it came from the grandfather, we can be certain he was hemophilic.He had the same genotype as joe which is: Xᵃ Y

5-
Paternal Grandmother and Paternal Grandfather- COULD NOT HAVE INHERITED.
In x-linked recessive diseases, fathers cannot pass it on to their son because they will pass the Y chromosome, not the X.
Joe's father gave Joe the Y chromosome and will not pass any X.
So, even if Joe's father and his side of the family had hemophilia, that wouldn't matter because either way, Joe will not be receiving any X chromosomes.
