Disorders caused by dominant alleles on autosomes are less common than those caused by recessive alleles on autosomes

Explanation:

Based on the Mendelian inheritance pattern,  

Autosomal dominant allele will affect a person if any one of the parent is affected.  

Autosomal recessive allele will affect a person only both the parents are carriers.

Autosomal diseases caused by dominant allele can occur in every generation and from that of recessive allele may not occur in every generation according to Mendel’s laws of inheritance.

However, many inherited disorders are more common due to recessive alleles. When only one copy of the DNA carried by one parent is passed, it is mostly harmless and may sometime get eliminated through natural selection process of evolution.  The chances of inheritance is only around 50% and children who do not inherit will neither develop any such disease or can pass the genes of the disease.

Although recessive, if both the parents are carrier, then the chances of inheritance doubles and hence recessive allele autosomal disorders occur more frequently. Inherited diseases like cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia caused by recessive allele is more common than diseases like Marfan’s syndrome caused by dominant allele.

12. Compare and Contrast the relationships between the speed of electromagnetic
mario62 [17]

Answer:

Compare and Contrast the relationships between the speed of electromagnetic  and mechanical waves as they travel through different mediums is explained below in details.

Explanation:

As per the mechanism, the waves can be distinguished as electromagnetic and mechanical waves. Electromagnetic waves are those fluctuations that have no mechanism to progress whereas mechanical waves demand a mechanism for their communication. Electromagnetic waves progress in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves don't have.

<h2>Transportation across the membrane</h2>

Explanation:

(a) Simple diffusion; Faciliated diffusion-Directions in which two transported solutes move

  • In simple diffusion diffusion of non polar compounds across the membrane and along the concentration gradient without the involvement of protein whereas in case of facilitated diffusion membrane transport proteins that facilitate movement pf molecules across the membrane down its concentration gradient
  • Both the diffusions does not require energy

(b) Facilitated diffusion; active transport-Direction the solute moves relative to its concentration gradient

  • In facilitated diffusion membrane transport proteins that facilitate movement of molecules across the membrane down its concentration gradient without the expenditure of energy
  • Active transport drives transportation of solute against the concentration gradient across the membrane

(c) Simple diffusion; Active transport-Directions in which two transported solutes move and Direction the solute moves relative to its concentration gradient

  • In simple diffusion diffusion of non polar compouds across the membrane and along the concentration gradient without the involvement of protein and energy
  • Active transport drives transportation of solute against the concentration gradient across the membrane;secondary active transporters coupled with transportation of two solute molecules

(d) Direct active transport; Indirect active transport-Direction the solute moves relative to its concentration gradient or its electrochemical potential

  • Direct active transport use direct energy such as ATP hydrolysis,oxidation and sunlight energy
  • Indirect active transport use indirect energy such as chemical gradient,electrochemical gradient established by direct active transporters;one solute moves along the concentration gradient while other moves against the concentration gradient

(e) Symport; Antiport-Direction in which two transported solutes move

  • In symport both the solute molecules move in same direction;coupled with primary active transport(direct transport)
  • In antiport both the solutes moves in opposite direction;coupled with secondary active transport(indirect transport)

(f) Uniport; coupled transport-Directions in which two transported solutes move

  • Uniport is the transport of single solute across the membrane
  • Coupled transport is the transport of two solute molecules across the membrane;it may be symport or antiport

(g) P-type ATPase; V-type ATPase-Kinetics of solute transport

  • P-type ATPase always transport cations and undergoes phosphorylation
  • V-type ATPase(here V stands for vacuole) transport protons and no phosphorylation occurs;catalytic activity is not reversible
  • Both are types of primary active transporters
