Answer:

The probability that their first child will have long fingers is 20%  

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

  • long fingers are inherited with 80% penetrance
  • L represents the dominant allele for short fingers
  • l represents the recessive allele for long fingers

Cross) Two people heterozygous for long fingers mate

                            Ll          x         Ll

Gametes)    1/2 L    1/2l         1/2L    1/2l

Punnet Square)  

                               L         l

                     L      LL      Ll

                       l     Ll       ll

F1) 25% or 1/4 LL

     50% or 1/2 Ll

     25% or 1/4 ll

Long fingers are inherited with 80% penetrance, which means that 80% is the proportion of the population that expresses the phenotype long fingers. Hence, the probability that the first child in this cross will have long fingers is:

100% ------- 80%

25% -------- X = 20%

Why does it make biochemical sense that chaperones recognize hydrophobic surface area? What catastrophic event are chaperones me
dexar [7]

Answer:

Molecular chaperons in the cells helps in protein folding. These are the group of proteins that have functional similarity and they also assist protein folding.

They have the ability to prevent the non specific binding and aggregation by the binding of the non native proteins.

Molecular chaperons helps in recognizing the hydrophobic surfaces of the unfolded proteins because they themselves are hydrophobic in nature and will combine to the hydrophic binding and bonding.

This helps in guiding the protein to folding.

The Great Oxygen Event marks the time, approximately 2.5 billion years ago, when ________.
Leokris [45]

Answer :There was enough oxygen in the atmosphere to support a major burst of life on Earth

Explanation:

The Great Oxygen Event marks the time, approximately 2.5 billion years ago, when there was enough oxygen in the atmosphere to support a major burst of life on Earth

For the first half of the Earht's history, there was no oxygen in the atmosphere. It was inhabited only by single-celled organisms.Of  those simple life forms, the cyanobacteria may have. evolved a way to take energy from sunlight, and used it to make sugars out of water and carbon dioxide. They used the same chemical process we know as photosynthesis. This released vast quantities of oxygen into the atmosphere and  triggered the evolution of complex life.

State two ways in which palisade tissue is a dapted for thotosynthesis?<br>​
olga nikolaevna [1]
Palisade mesophyll cells are closely packed to absorb the maximum light. They are at right angles to the surface of leaf to reduce the number of cross walls. Large vacuole pushes chloroplasts to the edge of a cell. Chloroplasts at edge enable short diffusion path for carbon dioxide and to absorb maximum light.
Hope this helped
