Answer:

100%.

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis may be defined as the hereditary disease that affects the digestive system and the lungs of an individual. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease.

The autosomal recessive disease can only be expressed in the homozygous recessive condition. Since, both the parents are affected this means they have the genotype aa. The cross between the parents (aa × aa), the progeny will be of aa. There is 100% chances that their first progeny will be diseased.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

The Earth contains a great diversity of species. This:
True [87]

Answer:

The correct option is A) will make no difference in the survival of life if there were major changes in the environment.

Explanation:

Due to genetic diversity, variations in species are caused which makes some organisms of a species to be better adapted than other members of the species. These variations cause organisms to survive when differences in the environment occur. Although the allele frequencies might change due to the changes in the environment but the phenomenon of genetic diversity allows life to sustain on earth even when conditions will become unfavourable.

During which process is ethanol produced?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Alcohol fermentation

Explanation:

When oxygen availability is low, the cell can't perform aerobic respiration to breakdown glucose. Instead, anaerobic respiration must be performed. This occurs in cells which consume large amounts of energy, such as muscle cells. Anaerobic respiration produces much less energy than aerobic respiration

One type of anaerobic respiration formed by yeast is called alcohol fermentation (also called ethanol fermentation). This begins with glycolysis, where one molecule of glucose is broke down into 2 molecules of pyruvate. The energy from this reaction generates 2 molecules of ATP, and converts NAD+ to NADH.

Then, the two molecules of pyruvate are further broke down into 2 acetaldehydes (releasing two molecules of carbon dioxide as a by-product). These two molecules of acetaldehyde are then converted into tw molecules of ethanol, using the H ions from NADH, converting it back to NAD+. See the attached picture

This process is taken advantage of to brew beer and wine.
