Answer:

Rabbit's offspring will die due to this mutation.

Explanation:

Mutations occur in sex cells or germ line cells are heritable and known as germline mutations. Sex cells produce gametes (sperm and ovum) and hence, mutation in these pass to the offspring.  When either a mutated ovum or sperm come together to form a single-cell zygote, each cell in developing zygote has that mutation.  

Thus, if a mutation affects the protein required for heart muscle in an adult rabbit, it will be pass to his offspring. The offspring will not be able to make functional proteins to build heart muscles and will die as heart is a vital organ.

Using the graphs below, determine which water drop rate leads to the highest seed growth.
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

C. 50 drops/hr

Explanation:

As we can see in the description of the graph above, 50 drops/hr was the rate of water fall that was most successful in plant growth. This is because with this rate, the seeds germinated more quickly, the seedlings showed a strong and fast vegetative growth, besides that at the end of 5 days, it was observed that germination of almost 100% of the seeds occurred. These facts cannot be observed with the other waterfall rates, so the correct answer is 50 drops/hr.

Ahat [919]

About the question:

You will find the pedigree in the attached files

Answer:

  • individual 4 → Affected woman → Black circle
  • individual 5 → Affected woman or man → Black circle or square
  • individual 7 → Healthy woman → Empty circle
  • individual 10 → Affected boy → Black Square

Explanation:      

Mitochondrial inheritance is the transmission of a disease or a trait from the maternal line.

<em>Most of the DNI is in the nucleus, but there is also DNI in mitochondria. Sperm cells hardly transfer mitochondrial genes to the progeny</em>, so mitochondrial DNI is mostly inherited from the maternal side. If there exists any mutation in this mitochondrial DNI, the whole progeny of the mutated woman will be affected, as they will get the mother genotype carrying the mutation. On the contrary, if an affected man is carrying a mutation in mitochondrial DNI, non of their descendants will get the disease.

Before answering the question, let us remember the pedigree symbols.

  • Squares represent Males/Men
  • Circles represent Females/Women
  • Empty symbols represent healthy/non-affected individuals
  • Solid black symbols represent sick/affected individuals

In the exposed pedigree, we can see that the mother is affected by the disease (individual number 2), so all her children are also affected (individuals 4, 5, and 6) because the <em>disease is mitochondrially inherited</em>.

Individual 3 is a healthy man, so individual 4 must be an affected woman (Black circle). As she is the one affected, then all her children will also be affected. This couple <em>had one boy and two girls</em>. Individuals 8 and 9 are girls (circle), so individual 10 must be the affected boy (black square).  

On the other hand, individual 6 is an affected man (black square), son of individuals 1 and 2. This man couples with a woman, and they have all healthy children. So this woman (individual 7) must be healthy. Even though the man is affected, all their children are not because their mother (7) is not. Remember that sperm cells do not transmit the mitochondrial genes to the progeny.      

And finally, individual number 5 might be either a man or a woman. In any case, this person is also affected by Leigh's disease.
