Answer:
Gives us energy by providing energy to the cells inside our body. Carbohydrates in food are used first. When they are all used up, the body then uses fats, and then proteins as energy sources.
Answer:
0.2404
Explanation:
The genes R/r and E/e are linked and there is 4% recombination between them.
<u>The possible genotypes and phenotypes are:</u>
- RR or Rr: Rh+ blood type
- rr: Rh- blood type
- EE or Ee: elliptocytosis
- ee: normal red blood cells
Tom and Terri each have elliptocytosis (they are E_), and each is Rh+ (they are R_).
Tom's mother has elliptocytosis (E_) and is Rh- (rr), so she has the genotype Er/_r. His father is healthy (ee) and has Rh+ (R_), so he has the genotype eR/e_. Tom must have inherited his E allele from his mother and his R allele from his father, so he has the genotype eR/Er.
Terri's father is Rh+ (R_) and has elliptocytosis (E_), while Terri's mother is Rh- (rr) and is healthy (ee) with the genotype er/er. Terry could only receive the chromosome <em>er </em>from her mother, and because she is heterozygous for both genes the dominant alleles were both received from her father. Terri's genotype is ER/er.
The frequency of recombination is 4%, so 4% of the produced gametes will be recombinant. There are two possible recombinant gametes, so each will appear 2% of the times (a frequency of 0.02).

<u>Tom will produce the following gametes:</u>
- eR, parental (0.48)
- Er, parental (0.48)
- er, recombinant (0.02)
- ER (recombinant (0.02)
<u>Terri will produce the following gametes:</u>
- ER, parental (0.48)
- er, parental (0.48)
- Er, recombinant (0.02)
- eR, recombinant (0.02)
A child Rh- with elliptocytosis has the genotype rrE_. This can happen from the independent combination of the following gametes from Tom and Terri respectively:
- Er (0.48) × er (0.48) = 0.2304 Er/er
- Er (0.48) × Er (0.02) = 0.0096 Er/Er
- er (0.02) × Er (0.02) = 0.0004 er/Er
And the total probability of having a rrE_ child will be 0.2304 + 0.0096 + 0.0004 = 0.2404
Cytoskeletal filaments provide the basis for cell movement. For instance, cilia and (eukaryotic) flagella move as a result of microtubules sliding along each other. In fact, cross sections of these tail-like cellular extensions show organized arrays of microtubules.
The cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells is made of filamentous proteins, and it provides mechanical support to the cell and its cytoplasmic constituents. All cytoskeletons consist of three major classes of elements that differ in size and in protein composition.
Microtubules are the largest type of filament, with a diameter of about 25 nanometers (nm), and they are composed of a protein called tubulin. Actin filaments are the smallest type, with a diameter of only about 6 nm, and they are made of a protein called actin. Intermediate filaments, as their name suggests, are mid-sized, with a diameter of about 10 nm. Unlike actin filaments and microtubules, intermediate filaments are constructed from a number of different subunit proteins.
The cytoskeleton is a structure that helps cells maintain their shape and internal organization, and it also provides mechanical support that enables cells to carry out essential functions like division and movement.
