Answer:

A. AaBb x AaBb

Explanation:

The term heterozygous refers to the presence of two different alleles of same gene in an organism. The one allele can be of wild type (original type) and one can be mutated or newly formed.

In the question, two traits are represented by two letters, A and B and alleles as A and a and B and b, respectively. We are asked about a cross involving two traits and two individuals in such a way that both are heterozygous.

If we look at option A, AaBb x AaBb,

we see that one trait A and the other trait B is in heterozygous form (Aa and Bb) in both individuals.

If we look at option B. AABB x AABB

we see that one trait A and the other trait B is in homozygous form form (AA and BB) in both individuals. Homozygous means when the alleles are same for each trait in an individual.

If we look at option C,Aa x Bb

There are not two traits, one trait of one individual and other trait of other individual is being crossed that is not possible.

If we look at option D. AAaa x BBbb

Again, the individuals are homozygous for two traits.

Therefore, A is best option.

Hope it helps!

Which of the following statements about energy is TRUE? Question 17 options: It can be used over and over again. It tends to be

Law Incorporation [45]

<h2>Energy </h2>

Explanation:

Energy flows in only one direction through an ecosystem

The Sun supports most of Earth's ecosystems
Plants create chemical energy from abiotic factors that include solar energy and chemosynthesizing bacteria create usable chemical energy from unusable chemical energy
The food energy created by producers is passed to consumers, scavengers, and decomposers
Energy flows through an ecosystem in only one direction, it is passed from organisms at one trophic level or energy level to organisms in the next trophic level
Most of the energy at a trophic level – about 90% – is used at that trophic level and organisms need it for growth, locomotion, heating themselves, and reproduction
So animals at the second trophic level have only about 10% as much energy available to them as do organisms at the first trophic level
Animals at the third level have only 10% as much available to them as those at the second level

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are unstable, or reactive, compounds that result from the partial reduction of oxygen. ROS can cau

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

OH, H2O2 and O−2

Explanation:

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can be defined as highly reactive chemical compounds formed from molecular oxygen (O2). ROS are generated as a normal product of cellular metabolism, and also as a response to different environmental/internal cellular stimuli (e.g., cytokines, xenobiotics, pathogenic invasion). For example, hydroxyl radicals (·OH) are a type of ROS generated in the mitochondria which are capable of inducing oxidative stress in different cells and also trigger chronic inflammation. Moreover, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) molecules represent another type of ROS which are produced during the stereoselective deamination of amino acids, i.e., the building blocks of proteins. These molecules (H2O2) exhibit toxic effects on the cell (e.g., DNA damage). Finally, singlet oxygen (1O2) is an excited state of molecular oxygen (O2) that is generated during photosynthesis in the photosystem II (PSII) of chloroplasts.

Marfan syndrome is a dominant trait. A cross between a homozygous dominant and a heterozygote would produce what phenotypic rati

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is- 4:0

Explanation:

Marfan syndrome is a genetic problem which affects the connective tissue in the body. The trait for this disease is autosomal dominant which means even one abnormal copy of this gene in the offspring or individual is sufficient to cause this syndrome.

Let S is the allele that is dominant for this syndrome and s is recessive. So if a cross between homozygous dominant(SS) and heterozygous individual (Ss) occurs than all the offspring would have this syndrome.

S s

S SS Ss

Therefore all 4 offspring would have at least one dominant allele which is sufficient to cause this syndrome. So the phenotype ratio would be 4:0.
