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%

Contrast the electron transport chain in photosynthesis with the one in cellular respiration by identifying sources of the high-
nlexa [21]

Respiration:

The respiratory chain detailed here is that of mammalian mitochondria:

NADH → NADH dehydrogenase → ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10) → coenzyme Q-cytochrome c reductase → cytochrome c → cytochrome c oxidase → O2;

succinate → succinate dehydrogenase → ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10) → coenzyme Q-cytochrome c reductase → cytochrome c → cytochrome c oxidase → O2.

It consists of the following elements:

The high transfer potential electrons of NADH are transmitted to coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) by NADH dehydrogenase, or complex I. Reduced coenzyme Q10 is ubiquinol Q10H2.

The electrons with a high succinate transfer potential are transferred to coenzyme Q10 by succinate dehydrogenase, or coenzyme II, also giving ubiquinol Q10H2.

Ubiquinol Q10H2 transfers its electrons to two cytochromes c under the action of coenzyme Q-cytochrome c reductase, or complex III.

Four cytochromes c each transfer their electron to an oxygen molecule under the action of cytochrome c oxidase, or complex IV. Two molecules of water are formed.

Each of these four respiratory complexes has an extremely complex structure partially included in the internal mitochondrial membrane. Apart from the complex II, they are proton pumps. The electrons circulate between these structures on liposoluble or hydrophilic electron transporters depending on the case.

Photosynthesis:

Photophosphorylation is the equivalent, for photosynthesis, of oxidative phosphorylation for cellular respiration. It constitutes the "light phase" of photosynthesis, that is, it groups together light-dependent reactions.

In plants, photophosphorylation occurs in the membrane of thylakoids, within chloroplasts:

H2O → photosystem II (P680) → plastoquinone → cytochrome b6f complex → plastocyanine → photosystem I (P700) → ferredoxin → ferredoxin-NADP + reductase → NADP +;

cyclic photophosphorylation: (ferredoxin →) plastoquinone → cytochrome b6f complex → plastocyanine → photosystem I (P700) → ferredoxin (→ plastoquinone).

Contrast:

<u>What he has in common is:</u>

*The sequence of several complex membrane proteins transporting electrons.

*The conversion of DNA into ATP.

<u>The differences</u> are in the transport proteins themselves, as well as the direction of H + flux (to the cytoplasm for photosynthesis, and to the mitochondrial matrix in respiration).

Using the attached figure, what statement is true? Genetics382FlowerTreeExercise06.pdf 92 KB Genetics382FlowerTreeExercise06.pdf
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. "Flowers on Peak 1 and flowers on Peak 4 are genetically identical".

Explanation:

Phylogenetic trees are graphical representations of the relationships among species, at which the closer two organisms are, the closer they are put together in the tree. Modern phylogenetic trees are constructed based on the anaylsis of genetic material, usually mitochondrial DNA. In this case, flowers with different phenotype and genotype were classified in a phylogenetic tree. Since flowers on peak 1 and flowers on peak 4 are grouped together it is safe to assume that the two organisms are genetically identical. I attached the missing figure.

How do veins return blood to the heart? select all that apply?
Jobisdone [24]
A relatively small blood pressure gradient is generally insufficient to move blood through the veins under given conditions, thus venous return must be facilitated by valves within veins and two "pumps." ... As skeletal muscles contract, veins are squeezed to help propel the blood toward the heart.

Can Hippodamia convergens and Hippodamia variegata can mate and produce fertile offspring? Explain your answer.
borishaifa [10]

Hippodamia convergens and Hippodamia variegata can mate but cannot produce fertile offspring because the number of chromosomes can make the development of the embryo unfeasible.

<h3>What are fertile hybrids?</h3>

The crossing between plants or animals of similar species can generate beings that, despite being hybrids, are fertile, even though in the initial phase of cell multiplication some chromosomes do not find the respective pair.

<h3>Why don't hybrids reproduce?</h3>

These differences in the number of chromosomes can make the development of the embryo unfeasible, as the alignment of equivalent chromosomes from the female and the male is necessary for the division of the fertilized cell to occur. When this alignment does not occur, the cell does not reproduce and dies.

With this information, we can conclude that Hybrid animals are beings from genetic crosses between different species, but of the same genus, that is, when two different animals cross and a new animal appears, usually sterile, due to their incompatible genes: the hybrid animal.

11. What property of waves would help measure the height of the waves in a
Maurinko [17]

Answer: amplitude would help measure height

low f, constant speed, long wavelength

speed = frequency x wavelength

Explanation: constant speed, low frequency

frequency = speed/wavelength; at constant speed f proportional to 1/wavelength, so low f __> long wavelength

speed = freq*wavelegth
