anyanavicka [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The structure of mitochondria contains the foldings in the inner side called "cristae" which increase the surface area of the mitochondria. The cristae are important to mitochondria as well as cell as cristae embody the ATP synthase enzymes which help in the formation of the ATP molecules.

Heart cells require more energy to pump the blood from the heart to the body so it needs a more mitochondrial number in the cells with more infoldings to synthesize more ATP.

For children who do not have galactosemia, what are their possible genotypes for this trait?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

The correct answers are "heterozygous", and "homozygous dominant".

Explanation:

Galactosemia is a condition where people are not able to process the sugar galactose. People with this condition have one gene mutated, which does not allow the proper synthesis of the enzyme that breaks down galactose. Galactosemia is inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic condition, therefore, only children that are homozygous recessive develop the condition. Children that are heterozygous or homozygous dominant, will not develop galactosemia.
