Achondroplastic dwarfism is a dominant genetic trait that causes severe malformation of the skeleton. Homozygotes for this condi

tion are spontaneously aborted (hence, the homozygous condition is lethal) but heterozygotes will develop to be dwarfed. Matthew has a family history of the condition, although he does not express the trait. Jane is an achondroplastic dwarf. Matthew and Jane are planning a family of several children and want to know the chances of producing a child with achondroplastic dwarfism. The genotypes of Matthew and Jane are best represented as _____.

Answer:

Jane: Aa

Matthew: aa

Explanation:

Jane is a heterozygous woman, which means that she is dominant for this genetic trait while Matthew is homozygous that did not inherit the achondroplastic dwarfism trait from his parents, that is why he is alive.

If we draw a Punnett square, we can see that some of their children will inherit the trait while others will not.

Epidermis. The epidermis is the thin outer layer of the skin. It consists of 3 types of cells: Squamous cells. The outermost layer is continuously shed is called the stratum corneum

Explanation:

stratum corneum

The epidermis has no blood supply and depends on diffusion from the dermal cells for its metabolic needs. The dead-cell layer of the stratum corneum provides the protection from water loss that allows vertebrates to dwell on land

Tertiary structures of proteins can be very complex. Analyzing and recognizing common structural patterns is the first step in u
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

a. Always independently stable. Domain

b. Retains native structure even when separated from the rest of the protein. Domain

c. β Barrel. Motif

d. Calcium-binding segments of calmodulin. Motif

e. An advantageous folding pattern composed of two or more secondary structure elements. Domain

f. Sometimes independently stable. Motif

Explanation:  

a. Protein domains are evolutionary conserved and stable 3D structures formed by a series of amino acids joined by peptide bonds.

b. Domains are stable because they conserve their tridimensional structure in physiological conditions even if they are separated of the rest of the protein.

c. The ß-barrel motif is a type of motif localized in single-stranded DNA viruses.

d. Calmodulin is a protein that contains calcium-binding motifs that enable to sense intracellular calcium levels.

e. Domain folding patterns are critical transitional states that allow the proteins their interaction with specific ligands in different physiological conditions.

f. Motifs are sometimes independently stable, but due to their short length (3-15 amino acids), protein motifs are generally unstable in different conditions.

sergeinik [125]

Answer: Primary Consumers (eat producers) The arrows in a food chain show the flow of energy, from the sun or hydrothermal vent to a top predator. As the energy flows from organism to organism, energy is lost at each step. A network of many food chains is called a food web.
