To first dive into your question, here are some vocabulary terms that I will be using and will be helpful to you as well.

  • Homozygous dominant (BB): <em>Is not affected by cystic fibrosis</em>.
  • Homozygous recessive (bb):<em> Is affected by cystic fibrosis</em>.
  • Heterozygous (Bb):<em> A carrier for cystic fibrosis</em>.
  • Phenotype (Ex: Having cystic fibrosis): <em>The appearance of an allele pair</em>.
  • Genotype (Ex: bb): <em>The genetic makeup of an allele pair</em>.

We know that if both of the parents are phenotypically normal, there is no way that they can be homozygous recessive (bb), or have cystic fibrosis. We also know that since they have a child with this disease, they can't be homozygous dominant (BB) either. This means that <u>both parents have to be carriers (Bb)</u> in order for them to have a child with cystic fibrosis.

Below I have attached a Punnett square with both of the heterozygous parents.

<em>Each child they have will have a </em><u><em>1/4</em></u><em> or </em><u><em>25%</em></u><em> chance of having cystic fibrosis.</em>

Your research paper should start with your claim in paragraph form, and give two examples of scientific information that support each part of your claim.

<h3>What do you mean by Research paper?</h3>

A research paper may be defined as a composition in which you illustrate what you have comprehended after investigating your chosen topic in depth.

Any research paper consists of an abstract, the methodology, observations, conclusions, and at last reference.

If your research paper supports the claim, then it will be formatted the claims in paragraph form, with two examples of scientific information that support each part of your claim.

Therefore, it is well described above.

Which of the following cannot be digested by the enzymes in an animals digestive tract?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Cellulose

Enzymes and substrates are  often specific for one another. They have shapes that can be modified to fit into each other which allows them to bind together (induced fit).T<span>ogether, Enzymes and substrates undergo some transformations  </span><span>as they interact. They interact by forming hydrogen bonds, covalent bonds  and what is also called hydrophobic interactions.</span>

The enzyme returns to its original shape and state after the reaction but the substrate is often modified or changed completely into a new, different product.

o-na [289]

Answer:

For a couple of decades, biologists knew the nucleus contained DNA and proteins. The prevailing opinion was that the genetic material was proteins, and not DNA. The reason for this belief was that proteins are more complex than DNA. This is because:  <u>proteins have a greater variety of three-dimensional forms than does DNA.</u>

Explanation:

Protiens have a greater variety of three dimensional forms than does the DNA

Protiens contain one or more polypeptides which are usually arranged in one of the following structures :

1)Primary structure

2) Secondary structure

3) Tertiary structure

4) Quaternary structure

These structures are maintained by Hydrogen bonding , Hydrophobic interactions , Disulphide bonds and ionic bonds )

DNA on the other hand is a double stranded molecule containing only hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases and the covalent bonds within nucleotides. It is much simpler than protiens.

7. If you were unsuccessful in locating the epicenter, describe how you could modify
ella [17]

Answer:

Scientists use triangulation to find the epicenter of an earthquake. When seismic data is collected from at least three different locations, it can be used to determine the epicenter by where it intersects. Every earthquake is recorded on numerous seismographs located in different directions.

A pair of fruit flies reproduces and has 1000 offspring. All 1000 offspring have the alleles Gg. What is the most likely combina
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - GG and gg.

Explanation:

As it is given that all the 1000 offspring having the same allele Gg which is only possible in one condition that is cross between GG and gg because it is a heterozygous condition in the offspring. So there must be both allele present and it can not be heterozygous parents as there would be a different combinations of offspring in that case.

If the parents either GG only all the offspring would be GG the same with gg than all the offspring will be gg, thus the correct answer would be GG and gg.
