50 percent of the offspring would be expected to have the ability to roll their tongues If a heterozygous male is crossed with a homozygous recessive female.
Explanation:
Information given:
the ability to roll tongue is dominant, the genotype would be RR, Rr
the inability to roll tongue is recessive trait the genotype = rr
Given that heterozygous male is crossed with homozygous recessive female, the genotype is
Rr X rr
Punnet square shows that:
R r
r Rr rr
r Rr rr The genotype ratio is 1:1
phenotype ratio is 1:1
There are chances of 50 % offspring having the ability to roll their tongues as they are heterozygous and have the dominant allele for rolling of tongues.
Cell membrane is the answer
In diseases, similar patterns of mutations in harmless genes may possibly be a cause or an effect of the disease. To investigate if it is a cause, it is worth looking into the proteins synthesized by the gene and whether it’s structure or functionality is affected by the pattern observed. It is also worth looking into the downstream effects possibly caused by the pattern in the gene. The gene may encode a non coding region which could affect post transcriptional splicing for example.
Evidence supporting the Big Bang theory includes the presence of cosmic microwave background radiation, visual observation of redshifted objects and the abundance of primordial elements found throughout the universe.
Animals have so many different enzymes to digest their food they eat variety of food in their diet so specif enzymes are needed to digest each type of food
