Recessive traits can skip a generation because a dominant phenotype can by either homozygous or heterozygous genotypes. So 2 heterozygous people would have the dominant phenotype for a trait but since they each have a recessive allele, they both could pass a recessive allele to their offspring. This would be a Monohybrid cross.

I think I understand even without the picture. I'll add a picture of the Punnett Square filled in, but what you're crossing is

Tt x tt (heterozygous crossed with a homozygous recessive)

The ratio you get in the end is 2 heterozygous (Tt) and 2 homozygous (tt) offspring, so the ratio is 1:1.

So the percentage of offspring that are homozygous recessive is 50%.

A number of mutations have been described in the G protein Ras that have profound effects on its activity. For example, some mut

gladu [14]

Answer:

a mutation that blocks the GTPase activity of Ras

Explanation:

A G protein in inactive state is GDP bound but as soon as a guanine exchange factor (GEF) exchanges it with GTP it gets activated which means that in GTP bound state it is active. G - protein has endogenous GTPase activity. Upon interaction of GAP, the GTPase activity of this protein is exhibited. When GAP is present, hydrolysis of GTP into GDP occurs which leads to inactivation of G protein. A mutation which will block GTPase activity of Ras will therefore result in constitutive active signaling even in the absence of ligand binding to it's receptor. In such scenario, GTP will not be hydrolyzed into GDP so signaling will be up-regulated.

Explain what causes spring and neap tides, and identify

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Spring tides occur when the sun, moon and earth are lined up, and it causes high and low tides to be much higher (moon is full/new). Neap tides occur when the sun, moon, and earth form a right angle this causes regular high and low tides to be much lower (first quarter and last quarter moon). The moons gravity and suns gravity pull the earths crust and ocean water.
