single-celled
in single-celled organisms they perform activities such as eating and reproducing in just one cell.
Gene pool
Sum of a population's genetic material at a given time.
The term typically is used in reference to a population made up of individuals of the same species and includes all genes and combinations of genes (sum of the alleles) in the population.
Answer:
a. Heterozygous individuals may pass on their copy of the disease-causing allele to offspring.
Explanation:
Tay-Sachs, which is a recessive lethal disease ---- Let say the recessive lethal diseases is s
∴ it only results when an individual posses two copies of the diseases-causing allele i.e two copies of the disease will be ss.
Now, when two hetrozygous individuals crossed , it is obvious that each can pass on their copy of the disease-causing allele to the offspring.
Let show an illustration for the above statement.
Let the heterozygous individual be Ts, if Ts cross with another Ts;
we will have:
Ts × Ts
T s
T TT Ts
s Ts ss
the offspring are TT,Ts,Ts,ss
We can now see how the Heterozygous individuals pass on their copy of the disease-causing allele to the offspring (Ts).
Polysaccharides like Cellulose form insoluble micro-fibrils making it resistant to degradation and enzymatic activity.
<u>EXPLANATION: </u>
- Polysaccharides components in general broken down monosaccharides and they are very little enough to be absorbed by the body.
- But the polysaccharide like cellulose cannot be absorbed by our body.
- Cellulose is made up of simple polymers that form insoluble micro-fibrils results in resistant to degradation and enzymatic activity.
- Also, molecules of each micro-fibril are so tightly packed structure and prevent the penetration of enzymes.
- Thus, cellulose degradation requires a complex enzyme and cellulose.
