Answer:

The correct answer is option e) "a and c".

Explanation:

Single carbons are atoms needed for the biosynthesis of many molecules in cells, therefore the cells need a pathway to move group of atoms containing single carbons to make them available for the biosynthesis. S-adenosylmethionine and Tetrahydrofolate are two of the major carriers of single carbons in cells. S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) acts as a methyl (-CH3) donor and Tetrahydrofolate (THF) as a cofactor in enzymatic reactions.

In Drosophila, the genes crossveinless and Stubble are linked, about 7 map units apart on chromosome 3. cv is a recessive mutant
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

0.035

Explanation:

<u>cv+ is the wild-type dominant allele over cv, therefore:</u>

  • cv+cv+ and cv+cv cause wild-type phenotype for crossveinless
  • cv cv causes the crossveinless phenotype

<u>Sb is a dominant mutant allele over wild-type Sb+, therefore:</u>

  • Sb Sb and Sb Sb+ cause Stubble phenotype
  • Sb+ Sb+ causes wild type phenotype for Stubble

<h3><u>Test cross</u></h3>

It's the cross between the heterozygous female with a homozygous recessive male. Remember that cv and Sb+ are the recessive alleles.

\frac{cv\   Sb^+}{cv^+\ Sb}  X \frac{cv \ Sb+}{cv \ Sb+}

-The male produces only 1 type of gamete: cv Sb+

-The female produces 4 types of gametes:

  • cv Sb+   ] Parental
  • cv+ Sb   ] Parental
  • cv Sb     ] Recombinant
  • cv+ Sb+ ] Recombinant

The genes are linked and separated by 7 map units. A distance of 7 mu means that 7% of the resulting gametes will be recombinant. Because there are 2 possible recombinant gametes, each of them will appear in 3.5% of the cases.

The genotypes and proportions of the offspring resulting from the test cross can be seen in the Punnett Square. The phenotypically wild-type individuals will have the genotype cv+ Sb+ / cv Sb+ (heterozygous for crossveinless and homozygous recessive for Stubble) and a 0.035 proportion.

Select the correct answer. Which of the following is a correctly balanced equation? A. NaClO3 → NaCl + 3O2 B. 2HgO → 2Hg + O2 C.
Nikitich [7]

The right answer is 2HgO → 2Hg + O2

Balancing a balance equation consists of finding the right stoichiometric coefficients. These coefficients (placed in front of each molecule) balance the number of each of the different atoms involved during a chemical reaction.

In this reaction, we find on both sides the same number of atoms: two oxygen atoms and two atoms of mercury.
