Understand how to use pedigrees to determine and explain the inheritance of traits

Biology
1 answer:
Nitella [24]3 years ago
5 0
1) How to use pedigrees:

They are diagrams in which people are represented by symbols. Circles represent female and squares represent males.
The bottom line represents the offspring of the couple above it.

Dark symbols are used to indicate someone who is affected with a genetic condition.
Not colored symbols indicate someone who is NOT affected. 
A heterozygote carrier.can be represented as grey color.


2) How traits are inherited:
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 chromosomes)  because 23 chromosomes are inherited from the father and the other 23 come from the mother.

With 23 sets, you have two copies of each gene. This copies can be different or the same and based on that there could be different traits for the same gene like black, brown or blond hair.

Anyone know about cellular respiration? Please help me label, 60 points!
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Mitochondria- glycolysis

ATP synthase- converts ADP to ATP

Inner membrane- electron transport chain

Matrix- krebs cycle

Explanation:

The mitochondria forms the fundamental site for glycolysis. The glucose is broken down enzymatically to produce carbon dioxide, water and ATP. The krebs cycle is the first stage of aerobic respiration. It takes place in the mitochondrial matrix. ATP synthase is an enzyme that generates ATP during the process of cellular respiration. ATP synthase forms ATP from ADP and an inorganic phosphate (Pi) through oxidative phosphorylation. The mitochondrial inner membrane is the site of the electron transport chain, an important step in aerobic respiration.  Energy obtained through the transfer of electrons down the ETC is used to pump protons from the matrix into the intermembrane space, creating an electrochemical proton gradient generating ATP.

True or false: in the sequence aggcct, an available phosphate group would be found at the 5' end of the nucleotide labeled "t."
Oksanka [162]

The answer is false.

an available phosphate group would be found at the 5' end of the nucleotide labeled A. The 5′-end of a DNA contains a phosphate group that is  attached to the 5′ carbon of the ribose ring and that A phosphate group  permits ligation of two nucleotides ( phosphodiester bond).
