Answer:

A (Genotype)

Explanation:

All organisms possess genetic material which contains information required for certain functions/traits. This genetic material is stored as DNA and contains certain segment that encodes functional products (proteins) called GENE. The make-up of the genes responsible for a particular characteristics in an organism is called the GENOTYPE. Genes occur in variant forms called ALLELES, which are inherited from each parent.

These alleles are responsible for the varying expression of a particular trait e.g. allele T can be responsible for Tallness while the variant form, allele t can be responsible for shortness. In this example, we can see that height is the trait here but the different alleles encode varying expression of it. The combination of the alleles received by both parents, which collectively determines the trait to be expressed is the GENOTYPE.

N.B: The genotype refers to the physically invisible genes not the expressed trait itself, which is the phenotype.

In this case, an allele (gene variant) is responsible for the resistance of Red Blood cells and regulates oxygen carried by them. The phenotype is the resistance that the RBC's possess and its reduced ability to carry oxygen but the combination of alleles responsible for that trait is the GENOTYPE.

Which symptom is unique to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (als) and is not observed in multiple sclerosis (ms)?
Nonamiya [84]

ALS is a rapidly progressive and fatal neuromuscular disease. MS is a scarring and hardening of the sheath around the nerves in the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve. MD is a muscular disorder with specific kinds of MD involving different muscles in the body. MD is almost exclusively hereditary

<h3>What is Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (als) ?</h3>

The motor neurons steadily degrade and eventually die as a result of ALS. The brain, spinal cord, and all the muscles in the body are connected by motor neurons. When motor neurons are destroyed, they stop communicating with the muscles, which prevents the muscles from working.

  • Five to ten percent of all ALS cases are familial, meaning the patient gets the illness from a parent. Typically, only one parent needs to have the disease-causing gene to have familial ALS.

Role of Lipids and Carbohydrates - Type Lipid or Carbohydrate behind each question. 16. Provide long term energy storage. 17. Pr
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

16. Carbohydrates  

17. Lipids

18. Carbohydrates

19. Carbohydrates

20. Lipids

21. Lipids

22. Carbohydrates

23. Lipids

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are organic molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Carbohydrates can be classified into three types: monosaccharides (e.g. glucose), disaccharides (e.g., lactose), and polysaccharides (e.g., starch). Cellulose is a carbohydrate where many glucose rings chain together, while chitin is a polysaccharide consisting of chains of modified glucose molecules.

Lipids represent a diverse group of organic molecules that include, among others, fats, waxes, oils, hormones, etc. Lipids play a role by insulating (and protecting) the body. For example, there is a layer of fats beneath the skin which enables to maintain body temperature relatively constant. In animals, lipids constitute about 50% of the mass of cell membranes. These membrane lipids are mainly phospholipids, glycolipids and cholesterol. There are hormones that derive from lipids such as steroid hormones, which derive from cholesterol. Some examples of steroid hormones are testosterone, estrogen and cortisol.
