How is light energy converted into chemical energy during photosinthesis?

1 answer:

8 0

Light energy (from the sun) is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen in the process of photosynthesis.
carbon dioxide + water --> glucose + oxygen
the light energy from the sun is then trapped in the glucose. in order to retrieve the chemical energy stores within the molecule, the bonds have to be broken.

the couple is also concerned about their child inheriting hemophilia, another rare disease, which is x-linked. natalie’s brother

IgorC [24]

Hemophilia is a recessive X-linked condition and is inherited from parents. . The probability that Natalie and Daniel’s first child has hemophilia is 1/4, not 1/8. The statement is false.

<h3>What is an X-linked gene?</h3>

When talking about sex-linked genes, we refer to all those genes located in one of the sex-chromosomes and not in the somatic ones.

X-linked genes are the genes located specifically in the X sex chromosome.

Traits coded by these genes are inherited. This is, X-linked genes are transmitted from parents to children through generations.

According to this, X-linked genetic disorders will be inherited as well.

Men have a high probability of being affected since they only have one copy of the X chromosome.

In women, the effect of the mutation might be musk in heterozygous state if the mutation is recessive.

Hemophilia is a recessive X-linked disorder, which means it is coded by the recessive allele.

X+ ⇒ X chrosomosome with Dominant allele

X- ⇒ X chrosomosome with Recessive allele

Genotype Phenotype

X+X+ Healthy woman

X+X- Healthy carrier woman

X-X- Hemophilic woman

X+Y Healthy man

X-Y Hemophilic man

Let us make a pedigree of these families,

Natalie's family:

Mother healthy carrier X+X-

Father healthy X+Y

Brother hemophilic X-Y

Natalie Healthy X+X- or X+X+

Natalie has 1/2 chances of being carrier X+X- and 1/2 of being X+X+.

Daniel's family:

Mother healthy carrier X+X-

Father hemophilic X-Y

Sister hemophilic X-X-

Daniel Healthy X+Y

He has 1/2 chances of being healthy X+Y and 1/2 of being affected X-Y.

According to the product probability rule, if events A and B are independent from each other, the probability of occurrence of both events together is

P(A∩B) = P(A) x P(B)

In this case,

event A is Daniel being affected ⇒ 1/2
event B is Natalie being carrier ⇒ 1/2

P(A∩B) = P(A) x P(B) = 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4

The probability that Natalie and Daniel’s first child has hemophilia is 1/4, not 1/8. The statement is false.

zheka24 [161]

Explanation:

we all want to improve air quality in our environments. especially in cities.., unfortunately, the $ you save from "going green," will now cause extra taxes,in the near future, which will defeat the purpose of saving $...from green sources adding another tax for your hard earned resources, example, when u buy a property with wooded areas, in rural towns of illinois, you are charged a green tax, plus higher property taxes to compensate electricity.

therefore, investment in clean energy shud b divided into yearly income per year..hense, people of higher income shud b taxed mor to the rich and people who can afford it. bluecollors are always taxed more than peps

that can actually afford it..

just my thought...

Question 2 (1 point)

Pie

Answer:

C. Ppgg

Explanation:

heterozygous for flower color would mean the plant carries both P and p

homozygous for pod color means it would only carry G or g but not both; however, it says that it is homozygous recessive. This tells us that it will be carrying only the non-dominant gene, which in this case is g.
