Suppose that a dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail. In addi

tion, suppose that a dominant allele (L) codes for long eyelashes and a recessive allele (l) codes for short eyelashes. If two individuals heterozygous for both traits (tail color and eyelash length) mate, what's the probability of the phenotypic combinations of the offspring?
A. 9:3:3:1 ratio (9 polka-dot tails and long eyelashes, 3 polka-dot tails and short eyelashes, 3 solid tails and short eyelashes, 1 solid tail and short eyelash)
B. 9:3:3:1 ratio (9 polka-dot tails and short eyelashes, 3 polka-dot tails and short eyelashes, 3 solid tails and long eyelashes, 1 solid tail and long eyelash)
C. 1:1 ratio (half are polka-dot tails and long eyelashes; half are solid tails and short eyelashes) D. 1:1 ratio (half are polka-dot tails and short eyelashes; half are solid tails and long eyelashes)

Answer is  A.

This is an example Mendel’s dihybrid cross.The law of independent assortment of independent assortment. When two individuals heterozygous for both traits (tail color and eyelash length) having genotype (PpLl) are crossed, four types of individuals are produced. The probability of phenotype combinations of offspring is the ratio 9:3:3:1.

9 - polka-dot tails and long eyelashes

3 - polka-dot tails and short eyelashes

3 - solid tails and long eyelashes  

1- solid tail and short eyelash

Answer:

Ocean currents act as conveyer belts of warm and cold water, sending heat toward the polar regions and helping tropical areas cool off, thus influencing both weather and climate.

Answer:

Active site and protein.

Explanation:

The two components which are often found as part of an enzyme are Active site and protein. Proteins are referred to as macromolecules or macromolecules which consists of more or one of a chain of amino acid residue. They do perform an array of functions which are within organisms.

Describe how the complete oxidation of 1 mole of glucose can generate 32 ATPs. You should include i) products of anaerobic glyco
inn [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.During glycolysis,four molecules of ATP are formed,and two are expended to cause the initial phosphorylation of glucose to get the process going.This gives a net gain of two molecules of ATP

For every glucose molecule that undergoes cellular respiration, the citric acid cycle is carried out twice; this is because glycolysis (the first stage of aerobic respiration) produces two pyruvate molecules per glucose molecule. During pyruvate oxidation (the second stage of aerobic respiration), each pyruvate molecule is converted into one molecule of acetyl-CoA—the input into the citric acid cycle. Therefore, for every glucose molecule, two acetyl-CoA molecules are produced. Each of the two acetyl-CoA molecules goes once through the citric acid cycle.

The citric acid cycle begins with the fusion of acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate to form citric acid. For each acetyl-CoA molecule, the products of the citric acid cycle are two carbon dioxide molecules, three NADH molecules, one FADH2 molecule, and one GTP/ATP molecule. Therefore, for every glucose molecule (which generates two acetyl-CoA molecules), the citric acid cycle yields four carbon dioxide molecules, six NADH molecules, two FADH2 molecules, and two GTP/ATP molecules. The citric acid cycle also regenerates oxaloacetate, the molecule that starts the cycle.

While the ATP yield of the citric acid cycle is modest, the generation of coenzymes NADH and FADH2 is critical for ATP production in the final stage of cellular respiration, oxidative phosphorylation. These coenzymes act as electron carriers and donate their electrons to the electron transport chain, ultimately driving the production of most of the ATP produced by cellular respiration.
