Answer:

b. adding butter. increasing the ripeness of fruit.

Explanation:

The addition of whole kernels helps to reduce the glycemic index (GI), because the larger the carbohydrate particle, the longer it takes the body to absorb it, decreasing the blood glucose peaks.

In addition, the addition of lean protein to meals helps to lower glucose spikes by reducing digestion time.

The addition of a fat like butter would not reduce the glycemic index due to its energy load (9 kcal per gram). In addition, increasing the ripeness of the fruit will also increase the GI.

Assume that the mother's genotype is AZ/az, and the father's genotype is Az/aZ, and the recombination rate is 10%. What are the

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

.45 from mom, .05 from dad

Explanation:

Given that:

the mother's genotype is AZ/az

i.e AZ = 50%

az = 50% (parental)

But we were also told that the recombination rate is 10% which will like wise affect the mother's genotype

So 100% -10% = 90 % of the mother's genotype

We have a new genotype

AZ = 45%

az = 45% (parental)

Therefore the probability of az gamete from the mother = $\frac{45}{100}$

= 0.45

Similarly; the genotype of the father is: Az/aZ

This is an heterozygous father who is diploid hence, there is a remarkable presence of two copies of each autosomal chromosome.

Az is the allele of the genes in one chromosomes and aZ is the allele of the genes in the other.

The gametes of this self cross are: Aa, AZ, az, zZ

Therefore; the recombinants are:

Since there are 10% recombinant; then

AZ = 5%

az = 5%

Therefore the probability of az gamete from the father = $\frac{5}{100}$

= .05
