Why are lipids unique when compared to the other macromolecule groups?

1 answer:

6 0

Lipids are unique because, they are made from one carbon skeleton unlike the other macro molecules groups which are made from smaller building blocks.
With the exception of steroid hormones, lipids are generally hydrophobic. Also lipids are relative small molecules when compare in size with other macromolecules.

This is referred to as: spontaneous recovery

Spontaneous recovery is a theory of learning and memory which involves unexpected and recurrence of a conditioned response after a period of reduced response or delay. Spontaneous recovery is associated with classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Extinction will happen quickly after a spontaneous recovery, if the conditioned and unconditioned stimulus is not connected.

A man with normal vision marries a color-blind woman. Red-green color blindness is an X- linked recessive disorder. They have a

jeyben [28]

Answer: The probability is 100%.

Explanation: The chromosome X is related to gender. A man carries two different chromosomes (XY) and a woman carries two similar chromosomes (XX). The offspring of a couple will inherited:

If it is a boy, he inherites the chromosome Y from his father and X from his mother;
If it a girl, she inherites X from her father and X from her mother;

In the question, the woman is color-blind, which means she carries the recessive alleles: $X^{d}X^{d}$

The man, on the other hand, is normal, so his X-linked genotype will be: $X^{D}Y$ .

Now, since they have a daughter, she inherited her double X from each of her parents, which means she inherited one $X^{d}$ from her mother and one $X^{D}$ from her father.

So, the daughter's genotype can only be heterozygotic $X^{D}$ $X^{d}$ in other words, the probability is 100%.
