True [87]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Gene: The hereditary material made up of alleles.

Alleles: The alternative forms of a gene.

Dominant: An allele or trait that masks the effect of recessive allele or trait.

Recessive: An allele or trait that gets suppressed by the dominant allele or trait.

genotype: The genome of a particular organism of the genes which make up an organism.

phenotype: The physical traits or characteristics of an organism.

test- cross: A cross in which the dominant and the recessive trait offsprings are crossed to depict whether the dominant organism is homozygous or heterozygous.

law of independent assortment: Alleles of different genes get assorted independently into gametes.

law of segregation: allele pairs segregate during gamete formation and unite at the time of fertilization.

product rule: Independent evens can be calculated by multiplying the independent probabilities.

Addition rule: The probability which shows that one event would occur in a mutually exclusive event.

co-dominant: When the dominant and the recessive trait occur and the organism shows both the characteristics of the dominant and the recessive trait.

incomplete dominance: when the dominant trait is not fully dominant over the recessive trait. As a result, individuals are produced which show neither the dominant or the recessive trait. A new trait is developed in them.

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

There are different function performed by carbohydrates in the body like-

Storage: When there is excess glucose present in the body they are stored as glycogen in muscles and liver.

Providing energy: Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for the cells present in our body.

Carbohydrate helps to spare proteins and lipids and helps in providing polysaccharides for membrane carbohydrates.

The body maintains blood glucose levels through hormones. For example, when the blood glucose level gets high insulin is released in the blood by the pancreas which reduces the blood glucose level by accumulating glucose as glycogen in the liver and muscle.

Glucagon works opposite to insulin and increases the blood glucose level.
