Phosphorus is a key component of both ATP and DNA because of their phosphate groups. DNA has one phosphate group with four molecules of phosphorus each per nucleotide. ATP is made up of three phosphate groups with four molecules of phosphorus per each group. While carbon is a good answer, the best answer that specifically pertains to both DNA and ATP is phosphorus.

In ducks, the trait for normal feathers is dominant to the trait for silky feathers. If
vesna_86 [32]

Answer: The genotype ratio is 2Ff : 2ff

The phenotype ratio is two normal feathered birds to two silky feathered birds.

Explanation: Let F represent the gene for normal feather and f represent the gene for silky feather. F is dominant while f is recessive, therefore a male that is hybrid for trait of normal feather is heterozygous and will have a genotype of Ff, a female that is homozygous for silky feather will have a genotype of ff.

A cross between Ff and ff will yield 2Ff birds and 2ff birds. Since F is dominant, a bird having genotype of Ff will manifest outwardly as blue feathered birds while ff will manifest outwardly as silky feathered birds because f is recessive and must occur in a homozygous condition in order to manifest phenotypically. Therefore, the genotype ratio is 2Ff: 2ff.

Why is it important to use a weakened virus in a vaccine?
PolarNik [594]

If you used a full active virus, that defeats the point of a vaccine. You will trigger your immune response, but since you would just be injecting the virus, it will make you sick, and your body will be less effective at fighting the pathogens.

Viruses in vaccines are weakened, so they essentially will not "fight" back. They most importantly just contains the antigen markers so the body can trigger the immune response, quickly eradicate the pathogen, and build up the memory cells to that virus.

Injecting a virus that is not weak will just be the same thing as if you got the virus, you will likely get sick.
