Answer:

Explanation:

When you are thirsty, it's your body's way of telling you to drink some water because you are dehydrated. Just like a dehydration reaction, you've lost water. Dehydration reactions are named as such because as the polymers are linked together, a molecule of water is released. This happens because on one end of a monomer is a hydrogen atom (-H) that is just waiting to bind with a hydroxyl group (-OH) on another monomer. Hydroysis which is the reverse of dehydration work the same way.

Phospholipids are amphipathic molecules. This means that they have a hydrophilic, polar phosphate head and two hydrophobic fatty acid tails. These components of the phospholipids cause them to orientate themselves, so the phosphate head can interact with water and the fatty acid tails can't, hence forming a bilayer.

Macromolecules  are large structures composed of atoms and smaller molecular structures and play important and sometimes vital roles in creating and sustaining life.  It can be organized into four categories: proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids.

Carbohydrates:

Found in many energy-providing foods, carbohydrates help the nervous system, muscles, and body in general function. A group of polymers, they contain nothing but carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Human bodies break down carbohydrates into their base components, which it then uses to fuel cells and maintain body processes. Plants use carbohydrates, particularly cellulose, to protect their cells and to grow larger. The list of carbohydrates is extensive and includes all sugars and starches.

A wire-hair terrier and a smooth-hair terrier are mated. The offspring produced are 6 wire-hair puppies and 2 smooth-hair puppie
Leto [7]

Let’s assume a wire-hair terrier is a true breed for wire hair with alleles (BB) and a smooth-hair terrier is true breed for smooth hair (bb). Allele B is dominant over its allele b. When these two terrier mated and produce offspring wire-hair terrier and smooth-hair terrier in the ratio 3:1.

Based on this result it can be inferred that –

a. The pattern of inheritance is monohybrid cross.

b.Genotype of wire-hair terrier (1BB and 2 Bb) and genotype of smooth-hair terrier is (bb)

c. Phenotype ratio will be 3:1 and genotypic ratio will be 1:2:1.
