Hey there!

Your question states: Explain why cells are so small, considering the relationship between surface area and volume for objects of different sizes but similar shapes.

Cell's are small because the size of the other surface area's and also there volume would obviously be bigger than the cell it self. So, they are basically bigger based on that it is the most efficient at their size. Cell's can not be big and there on some one's hat, that would be very weird. This would be why cell's are the size that they are.

Describe the genetic makeup of the offsprings of asexual reproduction.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

They are genetically identical to the parents and only differ if a genetic mutation occurs.

Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring that are genetically unique.

The greater the genetic variation, the better change that an individual in the population have a favorable gene that can help survival. Genetic variation is an important force in evolution as it allows natural selection to increase or decrease frequency of alleles already in the population.

Hemoglobin is a protein in the blood that is made of 4 polypeptide chains. Two alpha chains are composed of 141 amino acids each

Ghella [55]

Amino acid differs at the glutamine, which is converted to valine in hemoglobin S. the body produced hemoglobin S due to a point mutation in the DNA sequence which results in different amino acid to be formed during translation of DNA sequence codons.

People who are tune deaf are unable to follow a rhythm. Scientists have evidence that tune deafness can be genetic. The pedigree

butalik [34]

Question

Pedigree attached

a. Provide evidence from the pedigree that conclusively shows that the tune deafness allele is autosomal dominant, not autosomal recessive. Explain your reasoning.

b. Identify the genotypes of individuals 5 and 6, and then draw the Punnett square for the cross of these two individuals.

c. Compare the expected percentage of each phenotype of the offspring from the cross in part (b) with the actual percentage of each phenotype observed in the children of individuals 5 and 6.

Answer/Explanation:

a. Autosomal dominant means that even having one copy of the allele T will produce a tune deaf individual. The evidence of this is that individuals II.3 and 4 have children (III. 8 and 9) with normal tune perception. This suggests that they have inherited the normal allele from both parents. That means II.3 and II4 must be heterozygous, in order to pass on the normal allele. This makes sense if tune deafness is dominant (because 3 and 4 will both be Tt and Tt, so can pass on the t alleles). However, if tune deafness was recessive, that would mean that individual II 3 and 4 both have to carry 2 copies, meaning there is no way their children would have normal tune perception.

b. Since individual 5 is unaffected and we know this is the recessive trait, they must be Tt. Since individual 6 is affected, they must be either Tt or tt. However, they have children who are unaffected (11, 12, 13) who must be tt. This means, individual 6 must have the t allele to pass on, and must be Tt. Therefore, the cross between individuals 5 and 6 is tt x Tt:

T t

t Tt tt

c) The punnet square shows the children from (b) have a 50:50 chance of being tune deaf vs normal tune perception (50% each). In contrast, the actual ratios are 25% tune deaf to 75% normal tune perception. (1:4). This deviates from the expected ratio, but since all of these are due to chance, it is not an unexpected occurrence. Perhaps if there were 10, 50 or 100 children (!) from this cross, the results would be more like the expected ratio
