Now, assume the individuals with the filled symbols in the kindred have the O blood type, whereas all the individuals with the o

pen symbols have the A blood type. As you know, the O blood type allele is recessive to the A allele, but the inheritance pattern for this pedigree does not appear to be recessive. In fact, we call this inheritance pattern, "pseudo-dominant". What key fact about the O blood type allele (and other pseudo-dominant traits) allows for this unusual pattern, even though the O allele is recessive at the molecular level?

Answer:

When we talk about the inheritance of traits, or the passage of traits from parents to future generations down the line, we are not just talking about the visual (phenotypical) expression of those traits, but also, their underlying explanation, which is the genotype. A genotype is basically how the genes of the parents combine in such a way that the children inherit a set of traits from the parents, and express them phenotypically, or not.

In the case of blood types, we have four phenotypic groups: A, B and O. Each one of these types is characterized by the underlying set of genes that are responsible for what is expressed. While the O blood type presents a genotype ii, which is recessive, the A and B types will have the following genetic patterns: Ia Ia, or, Ia i (characteristic of the O genetic material) for the A type and: Ib Ib, or Ib i, for the B type. When there is a genetic conjugation from parents genetic material, regarding blood type, we would have these sets of genes combining. In most of the possible combinations genetically speaking, we have the recessive i gene appearing, including in the A and B dominant blood types. This means that when crossed, there will always be a chance of at least one offspring presenting the O blood type, even if one of the parents is dominant A, or B.

In answer: it is the fact that all three types present the recessive allele i, typical of the O blood type, that when pairings of genes happen between parents, the genetic characteristic of the O type may present itself in a dominant fashion, instead of the usual recessive pattern.

How is the cytoplasm divided between the two cells that result from mitosis in plant cells? In animal cells?​
Degger [83]

Answer:

The contractile ring shrinks through the center of the cell, evenly dividing the cytoplasm between the two halves. This indicates that cytokinesis is completed and the cell has been replicated.

Which one of the following is a major difference between the circulatory systems of earthworms and fish?
labwork [276]
<span>a. Fish have a single central heart; earthworms have several hearts.

Multi cellular organisms are made up of billions of cells each specialized to a unique role and these cells are organized into structural and functional units such as tissues and organs.
For each cell and organ to function optimally, it requires oxygen and nutrients and needs carbon dioxide and  metabolic waste taken away  in a  continuous, never ending  process.
<span>A mechanism  is needed to accomplish the important function of transporting the relevant materials to and from the cell. The circulatory system fits this  bill splendidly. It is a specialized organ system which allows blood  and lymph to flow through the entire body carrying nutrients such as glucose, amino acids and electrolytes as well as oxygen to each cell, at the same time carting away carbon dioxide and all sorts of metabolic waste over to excretory organs  to be expelled from the body.

Which of the following statements best describes the role of adenylyl cyclase in the epinephrine signaling pathway?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

It accelerates the production of a second messenger.

Explanation:

Adenylyl cyclase is an enzyme capable of converting ATP molecules into cyclic adenosine monophosphate AMP (cAMP). The cAMP molecule is considered to be a second messenger that transfers the hormonal signal (i.e., epinephrine) inside the cell. Subsequently, cAMP activates molecular signaling events by binding and thus activating cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA). Finally, this last protein (PKA) phosphorylates different proteins that control many diverse cellular processes.

Four structural domains of tRNA transcripts include the T loop, the D loop, the anticodon loop, and the
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Explanation:

Transfer RNA or tRNA is the RNA molecule associated with the protein synthesis as it adds the specific amino acids to the nascent growing polypeptide.

The structure of the tRNA molecule resembles the shape of a clover leaf and is known as the clover leaf model. The structure contains hydrogen-bonded stems and associated loops. The stems include acceptor stem which posses CCA 3'-terminal group to attach amino acids. The anticodon loop contains an amino acid attachment site. T and D loop contains modified pseudouridine and dihydrouridine.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
