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

¿Cuál fue la aportación de Robert Remak a la teoría celular y su relación con Rudolf Virchow?
horsena [70]

Answer:

Corrigiendo el error de Schwann y preparando el principio de Virchow, señaló que las células se multiplican por escisión de su núcleo, no por generatio aequivoca a partir del protoplasma originario. ... Según los historiadores Pagel (1945) y Ackerknecht (1957), parece que Remak precedió a Virchow en sus descubrimientos.

The second messenger in the following G-protein-linked-receptor pathway is signal moleculeG protein linked receptor activated G
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Answer is D - cAMP.

Explanation:

cAMP is a small molecule that functions as an intracellular signaling molecule - a second messenger. The first messenger would be the thing that activated the GPCR (e.g. a hormone). The GPCR is a signal transducer (converts extracellular signal to intracellular signal). Once activated, the GPCR activates  adenylate cyclase which can be called a signal effector - it is an enzyme that produces cAMP.

Name one cell type that continues to divide throughout a person's lifetime and one that doesn't continue to divide throughout a
Otrada [13]
So base on the question that states and ask to give the name of one cell type that continues to divide throughout a person's lifetime and also on who does not, with that question, the cell that divide through persons lifetime is a Mitosis or skin cells, an example to this is the skin, and the who doesn't divide is i think the brain cells, it doesn't regenerate

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

a. resolve the branching patterns (evolutionary history) of the Lophotrochozoa

b. (the same, it is repeated)

Explanation:

Nemertios (ribbon worms) and foronids (horseshoe worms) are closely related groups of lofotrocozoa. Lofotrocozoans, or simply trocozoans (= tribomastic celomados with trocophoric larva) are a group of animals that includes annelids, molluscs, endoprocts, brachiopods and other invertebrates. They represent a crucial superphylum for our understanding of the evolution of bilateral symmetry animals. However, given the inconsistency between molecular and morphological data for these groups, their origins were not entirely clear. In the work linked above, the first records of genomes of the Nemertine worm Notospermus geniculatus and the foronid Phoronis australis are presented, along with transcriptomes along the adult bodies. Our phylogenetic analyzes based on the genome place Nemertinos as the sister group of the taxon that contains Phoronidea and Brachiopoda. It is shown that lofotrocozoans share many families of genes with deuterotomes, suggesting that these two groups retain a common genetic repertoire of bilaterals that do not possess ecdisozoans (arthropods, nematodes) or platizoos (platelets, sydermats). Comparative transcriptomics demonstrates that foronid and brachiopod lofophores are similar not only morphologically, but also at the molecular level. Although the lofophore and vertebrates show very different cephalic structures, the lofophorees express the vertebrate head genes and neuronal marker genes. This finding suggests a common origin of the bilaterial pattern of the head, although different types of head will evolve independently in each lineage. In addition, we recorded innate immunity expansions of lineage-specific and toxin-related genes in both lofotrocozoa and deuterostomes. Together, this study reveals a dual nature of lofotrocozoans, in which the conserved and specific characteristics of the lineage shape their evolution.
