Answer:

An autosomal dominant gene is one that occurs on an autosomal (non-sex determining) chromosome. As it is dominant, the phenotype it gives will be expressed even if the gene is heterozygous.

The chances of an autosomal dominant disorder being inherited are 50% if one parent is heterozygous (NL) for the mutant gene and the other is homozygous for the normal (NN), or 'wild-type', gene. This is because the offspring will always inherit a normal gene from the parent carrying the wild-type genes, and will have a 50% chance of inheriting the mutant gene from the other parent. If the mutant gene is inherited, the offspring will be heterozygous for the mutant gene, and will suffer from the disorder. If the parent with the disorder is homozygous for the gene, the offspring produced from mating with an unaffected parent will always have the disorder.

My hypothesis will be that the enzyme pH will have a hot temperature and will make small amounts of the enzymes activity because it takes time to process.

What experimental evidence leads scientists to believe that only quantized electronic energy states exist in atoms?

iogann1982 [59]

The experimental evidence that leads scientists to believe that only quantized electronic energy states exist in atoms was the Niels Bohr experiment on Hydrogen gas. The quantized model for electron orbits in atoms that effectively explained the spectroscopic behavior of the atoms. Each line in the spectrum corresponds to one exact frequency of light emitted by the atom.

What does sustainability mean? please give examples too

satela [25.4K]

Hi there!

Sustainability means that something or someone has the ability to keep something going.

For example, a plant could have good life sustainability because it has a special poison, keeping predators away from it.

You could be self sustainable by growing your own crops, collecting your own water, and making things you need.

Hope this helps!

Deoxyribose Glucose Guanine Phosphate Ribose

Sergeu [11.5K]

There is no attached table, so it could not be told precisely which of the four molecules is the DNA. But, it is known that DNA consists of deoxyribose, guanine, and phosphate.
The base unit of DNA is called a nucleotide. The nucleotide consists of a nucleobase (adenine - A, thymine - T, cytosine - C, and guanine -G), a monosaccharide deoxyribose, and a phosphate group. By knowing this, it is easy to choose which molecule of those is the DNA.
