You are studying a disorder that is based on the genetic composition at three loci. Assume that a dominant allele at any locus a

dds 6 units of risk for the disorder and that a recessive allele at any locus adds 2 units of risk for the disorder. Individuals with 29 or more units of risk develop the disorder. The environment does not affect the presence or absence of this disorder. How many risk units will be present in an individual of genotype AABbCc?

Answer:

28 units

Explanation:

This disorder follows quantitative inheritance. It is controlled by three genes which do not show the usual dominant-recessive relationship . The six alleles individually contribute to the effect which add up to produce the cumulative phenotype. Dominant allele contributes 6 units of risk whereas recessive allele contributes 2 units of risk.

Individual with genotype AABbCc has four dominant alleles (AABC) and two recessive alleles (bc). So their total risk units =

(6*4) + (2*2) = 24 + 4

= 28 units

Which sub-atomic particle is counted to learn the atomic number of that element?
Gnesinka [82]
Helium, with two protons, will have two electrons. In the chemical classroom, the proton count will always be equivalent to an atom's atomic number. This value will not change unless the nucleus decays or is bombarded (nuclear physics). Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\): The periodic table of the elements.

A scientist studied the effect of exposing DNA to various wavelengths of ultraviolet light and determined the number of copying
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

C. 275 nm

Explanation:

At 275 nm of ultraviolet wavelengths causes mutation in a skin cell because at 275 nm of wavelength, maximum DNA Copying Errors occur in the cells that leads to mutation in the cell. A mutation is a kind of change that occurs in the DNA, due to two reasons, due to mistakes that is occur when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiations.
