In familial hypercholesterolemia, individuals homozygous for the allele causing the disorder completely lack receptors on liver

cells that take up cholesterol from the blood stream. Heterozygotes have one-half the number of receptors while individuals homozygous for the normal allele are phenotypically normal. This is an example of:

Answer:

The correct answer is - incomplete dominance.

Explanation:

A inheritance pattern that is characterized by pattern in which the one allele is not completely dominant over the its recessive variant of the allele and due to its incomplete dominance a third phenotype expressed over, termed as the incomplete dominance.

In the case of the familial hypercholesterlemia, it is genetic disorder in which the individual lacks the receptors on liver cells remove cholesterol from the blood. This condition occur in the homozygous allele case. In normal people have receptors normal while in heterozygous condition individual have half of the total receptors.

Thus, it is the case of incomplete dominance.

Describe a situation in which you would choose to measure a liquid using the beaker instead of the graduated cylinder.
Dafna1 [17]
A beaker measure large volumes of liquids and shows the approximate measurement and is not a suggested tool for measuring precise measurements of liquid. A graduated cylinder measures the precise reading of the liquid and is the suggested tool for a exact measurement.

Friction is a force exerted in the direction opposite to an object's motion, which means friction will cause an object's
Elden [556K]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

think of a box, if you push it on a smooth floor without friction it would glide pretty easy

but put it on say carpet, the friction from the carpet would not allow the box to move very far

that's also how brakes work, they apply friction to the wheels in order to get them to reduce motion

Using the help of the semi conservative replication of DNA, What is the role of a single strand of DNA ?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

In the semi-conservative method of DNA replication, each of the strands of the double helix acts as a template for replication.

Explanation:

Semi-conservative DNA Replication:

  • Semi-conservative DNA replication produces two daughter helices from the original parent helix. One strand of the daughter helix is form the original template while the other is newly synthesized.
  • This means that one strand will have the base sequence identical to the parent, while the other will be complementary to the template.
  • This model was experimentally confirmed by an experiment conducted in 1958 by Meselson and Stahl. They used radioactive isotope of nitrogen i.e. N-14 or N-15. DNA molecules made with N-15 were allowed to replicate in the presence of N-14.
  • After first replication, DNA molecules contained both N-15 and N-14 isotopes, disproving the conservative model that stated that the new helices are completely identical to the template.
  • The second replication yielded only N-14 which disproved the dispersive model that the new helices are a combination of both the template and new strands.
