<u>Answer</u>:

There are a number of lipids that are found in foods and contribute to various functions in the body. Triglycerides are the most common lipid found in food and in the body; they consist of a <u><em>Glycerol</em></u><u> </u>backbone attached to three fatty acids.

Fatty acids are classified based on the degree to which the carbon chain is saturated with <u><em>Hydrogen</em></u>

A fatty acid is <u><em>saturated </em></u>if it contains no carbon-carbon double bonds,   <em><u>polyunsaturated </u></em>if it contains  two or more carbon-carbon double bonds, and<em><u> monounsaturated </u></em>if it has only one carbon-carbon double bond.

The unsaturated fatty acids can exist in one of two structural forms: the <em><u>trans </u></em>form occurs when hydrogens on both carbons forming the double bond lie on opposite sides of that bond.

When hydrogens on an unsaturated fatty acid lie on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond, a <u><em>cis </em></u>formation exists.

Before the discovery of cells, people believed in the theory of spontaneous generation. According to this theory, living things
garri49 [273]
One statement that could disprove this theory is the fact that, according to the cell theory, all cells come from pre-existing cells. This basically means that cells can't just appear from nowhere; they have to come from another cell. Based on what we know today from scientific research, is there another law or statement that you could come up with to help disprove the theory? Hope this helped! :)

What helped scientist recognize that the earth was a million years old
Dmitry [639]
Clues such as fossils such as bones, footprints, tar, etc,  preserved underground helped inform scientists. You can also count how old a tree is when you cut it open and there are some alive for thousands of years so that is a possible way.

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%.
