2. The ability to taste the chemical PTC is determined by a single gene in humans with the ability to taste given by the dominan

t allele T and inability to taste by the recessive allele t. Suppose two heterozygous tasters (Tt) have a large family.
a. Predict the proportion of their children who will be tasters and nontasters. Use a Punnett square to illustrate how you make these predictions.b. What is the likelihood that their first child will be a taster? What is the likelihood that their fourth child will be a taster?c. What is the likelihood that the first three children of this couple will be nontasters?

Answer a)

        T       t

T     TT      Tt

t      Tt      tt

75% of the children will have the probability of being tasters. 25% will have the probability of being non- tasters.

Answer b)

There will be a 75% chance that their first child or their fourth child will be a taster.

The chances for every child will be the same because alleles assort independently during the time of gamete formation. Hence, the probability remains the same every time.

Answer c)

There will be a 25% chance for the first three offsprings to be non-tasters. 75% chances will be of them being tasters.

This is because the alleles assort independently each time during gamete formation. Hence, the chances will be the same every time.

Multiple Select Question
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

The TRUE statements are 'proteins often have more than one transmembrane domain'; 'they are regions of a transmembrane protein that actually pass through the lipid bilayer' and 'they are usually shaped like alpha-helices'.

A transmembrane domain is a membrane-spanning region within a protein. The transmembrane domains are hydrophobic regions that can be inserted into the cell membrane.

The transmembrane domains are usually shaped like alpha-helices.

This secondary structure (alpha-helices) causes the amino acid R-groups to project radially, thereby these side chains can interact with each other.

Proteins need only a single transmembrane domain to be anchored to the membrane, but they often have more than one.

For example, Acyl-coenzyme A cholesterol acyltransferases 1 and 2 (ACAT1 and ACAT2)  have multiple transmembrane domains.

The transmembrane domains are regions of a transmembrane protein that actually pass through the lipid bilayer.

These domains contain amino acids with hydrophobic R-groups that pass through the membrane and interact with the hydrophobic tails of the fatty acid chains present in the lipid bilayer.

The transmembrane domains anchor transmembrane proteins to the lipid bilayer.

The interactions between amino acids of the transmembrane domains and fatty acids in the lipid bilayer help to anchor transmembrane proteins and stabilize the cell membrane.

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

It's the pattern of lines that was the recird of an earthquake's seismic waves produced by a seismograph. What pattern do seismographic data reveal? It shows where earthquakes occur around the world. Geologists will make maps out of this data and find out the most earhquakes occur along plate boundaries.
