The asnswer is 2DG also known as 2-Deoxy-D-glucose. 2DG is a glucose molecule that has the
2-hydroxyl group replaced by hydrogen, so that it cannot undergo further
glycolysis. As such; it acts to competitively inhibit the production of
glucose-6-phosphate from glucose at the phosphoglucoisomerase level (step 2 of
glycolysis).
Myofibrils are the building blocks or contractile unit of each muscle fiber. The tiniest functional unit of skeletal muscle, the sarcomere, is found in the myofibrils and is made up of protein filaments: actin (thin) and myosin (thick).
1.What is the probability that a sperm from the father will contain the PKU allele?
Probability = ½
2.What is the probability that an egg from the mother will contain the PKU allele?
Probability = ½
3.What is the probability that their next child will have PKU?
Probability = ¼ (because each parent has ½ chance ½ X ½ = ¼)
4.What is the probability that their next child will be heterozygous for the PKU gene?
Probability = ½ (because each parent has ½ chance of donating the ‘P’ allele and ½ chance of donating the ‘p’ allele (½ x ½) + (½ x ½) = ½
Assuming purple is dominant, the genotypes of the parents must be Pp and pp, such that half the progeny have the dominant allele (P_) and half have the recessive phenotype (pp) 25% possibility of white-flowered plant life and 75% possibility of pink ones
Animals cause erosion in other ways too. When too many animals live in one place, they tend to eat and trample all the plants. Without the plants to protect the soil, it is much more likely to be eroded by wind and water. Animals cause weathering and erosion on rocky shorelines.
