As we can see in the pedigree, both of the parents do not possess the trait, but one of the four offspring (marked with red) is expressing the trait.
Since the trait is recessive, the only way that is possible that the parents who do not possess the trait to have the offspring with the trait is that the parents are heterozygous for the trait. Meaning that both of the parents have one dominant allele and one recessive allele.
The answer is: from mother
In a human diploid somatic cell (2n), there are<span> in total 46 chromosomes</span> - 22 autosomal chromosomes present in two copies and 1 pair of sex chromosomes. This means there are 23 pairs of chromosomes. In males, there is one X and one Y chromosome (XY) while in females, there are two XX chromosomes (XY).
During the formation of gametes, a female could give only X chromosomes, so gametes from the mother contain one X chromosome. But, a male could give X or Y chromosome, so gametes from the father contain either X or Y chromosome.
Female gamete and male gamete fuse to form a zygote. Male zygote must contain both X and Y chromosome. It inherits Y chromosome only from the father, so X chromosome must be inherited from the mother.
If I have a batch of pea plants with purple flowers that I grew by crossing plants that had purple flowers (PP) with plants that had white flowers (pp), purple flowers (dominant) will be expressed in this batch of pea plants.
Answer:
This question is incomplete
Explanation:
This question is incomplete but the completed question can be seen in the document attached.
There are three main subatomic particles namely electrons, protons and neutrons. However, the question only discusses two of them; electrons (negatively charged) and protons (positively charged).
A. Found in all matter
Answer: They are <u>both</u> found in all matter since all matter are made up of atoms and all atoms have both protons and electrons (and even neutrons).
B. Negative charge
Answer: The subatomic particle with negative charge (as discovered by R.A Millikan) is the <u>electron</u>
C. Exists in the nucleus
The subatomic particles found in the nucleus are the <u>protons</u> and neutrons.
D. Attract opposite charges
They <u>both</u> (protons and electrons) attract opposite charges because they are of opposite charges and generally unlike charges attract.
E. Moves at extreme speed
Of the two subatomic particles mentioned, <u>electrons</u> move faster than protons because of there lighter mass when compared to the protons. However, the fastest subatomic particle is the neutrino.
F. Bound by strong force
The <u>protons</u> are bound by strong nuclear force which binds them to the nucleus of the atom.
