If you have a pet cockroach with a brown body, how could you find out if it is
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

by testcrossing with a homozygous recessive partner

Explanation:

<u>If a pet cockroach exists whose zygosity is unknown, this can be determined by a test cross. A test cross involves crossing an organisms whose zygosity is unknown with a partner that is homozygous recessive for the same trait.</u>

Let us assume that brown body is represented by the allele B, the dominant allele. The homozygous recessive version would be bb.

The genotype of a brown cockroach whose zygosity is not known can be denoted as B_, where '_' can be a 'B' or a 'b'.

When B_ is crossed with bb:

B_   x   bb

Progeny

2 Bb

2 _b

The phenotype of Bb would be brown (since B is dominant over b) while the phenotype of _b would depend on the zygosity level of the cockroach.

If the unknown genotype is BB, then _b becomes Bb and the phenotype will be a brown body. This means that all the progeny will appear brown. (<em>see the first attached image for the Punnet's square</em>)

In other word, if the unknown genotype is bb, then _b becomes bb and the phenotype will be a alternate color (non-brown) body. This means that 50% of the progeny will appear brown while the remaining 50% will be in the alternate color. (<em>attached</em>

Myoglobin transfers oxygen obtained from hemoglobin to mitochondrial proteins involved in the catabolism of metabolic fuels to p
mario62 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mitochondria is a double membrane bound organelle that is located in most eukaryotic organisms and it has a number of different shapes.

A mitochondrion has a outer and inner membranes made up of phospholipid bilayers and proteins which have different properties. Because of the double membraned organization, mitochondria have five distinct parts:

Outer mitochondrial membrane

Intermembrane space which is the space between the outer and inner membranes

Inner mitochondrial membrane,

the cristae space which is formed by the folding in of the inner membrane and

matrix which is the space within the inner membrane.

Mitochondria has a complex structure that allows for all the activities carried out by it this includes,Energy conversion, Pyruvate and the citric acid cycle, NADH and FADH2 which are the electron transport chain, Heat production and Storage of calcium.

PLEASE I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

An increase of 3,500 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy added by swimmer = 12000 J

Heat removed by the surrounding = 8500 J

We need to find the total change in energy. It can be calculated using the law of conservation of energy such as :

\Delta U=Q-W\\\\\Delta U=12000-8500\\\\\Delta U=3500\ J

As the change in energy is positive, it means that there is an increase of 3500 J.
