Answer:

The correct answer is 4: "The exception to Mendelian laws of inheritance that best explains the mentioned symptoms is codominance".

Explanation:

In codominance, both alleles can be expressed. In these cases, heterozygote individuals<em> instead</em> of showing an <em>intermediate phenotype</em>, express both of the alleles. Their phenotype is an additive expression of their parents' genes.

In cystic fibrosis, there is a gene responsible for coding for a protein named "cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, CFTR".

-Most of the people have two copies of the normal allele and produce the functional CFTR protein form.

-Patients with cystic fibrosis have two copies of the mutated allele and so produce the mutated and dysfunctional form for this protein.

-Heterozygote people possess only one normal CFTR allele and a mutated form for the same allele and produce a normal protein and a mutated protein.

In the last case, both alleles are codominant and they express in heterozygote individuals. Given the fact that the normal allele produces enough functional CFTR protein, these individuals do not have any adverse effect and the mutated allele is recessive at a physiological level.

Did the detergents containing enzymes work better at removing stains than those containing no enzyme? Why or why not?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Because stains are made of different types of molecules, a range of enzymes are needed to break them down. Proteases break down proteins, so are good for blood, egg, gravy, and other protein stains. Amylases break down starches, and lipases break down fats and grease. Washing powders usually only contain one type of enzyme, though some have two or all three.
