Answer:

The answer is pp

Explanation:

Steve and Sonya's son genotype is pp. Because an inheritance of autosomal recessive disorder is with recessive allele responsible for the exceptional phenotype. In this case, Steve and Sonya are both heterozygotes, Pp, which means they both have a p allele because each one gave the boy a p, contributing to affect his son. And since we are talking about inheritance of an autosomal disorder, we know that the parents phenotypic proportions are the same.

A gene with the sequence ATTCATTCA underwent duplication after a few generations. Which sequence represents this gene after the

Ratling [72]

Answer:

The sequence would be <u>ATTCATTCA</u>.

Explanation:

Usually, when a sequence is duplicated, one of them becomes a non-coding. It's just like a computer. There can only be one specific file, or else a duplicated one will just replace the existing one, if you allow the file to do so. Same with DNA. This is why most of our DNA have no function and why we lost genetic abilities such as being able to produce our own Vitamin C.

So instead of the new gene being ATTCATTCAATTCATTCA, it's simply ATTCATTCA. You simply cannot have duplicates, just like computer files. I wish I could share an amazing video by PBS Eons giving a great explanation about genes and stuff, but sadly Brainly doesn't like such stuff, so just <em>search up in ㄚㄖㄩㄒㄩ乃乇 (ebuTouY) "genes we lost along the way" and it should be the first video that pops out.</em> Trust me, it's a great video, it's much better than my explanation.

A man heterozygous for blood type A marries a woman heterozygous for blood type B. What could be the possible blood types of the

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Heterozygous A: AO (remember, O type blood is a recessive allele. It's masked by A)

Heterozygous B: BB (h0m0zygous)

AO x BB --> AB, BO

Therefore, the genotypes of their offspring will be 1 AB to 1 BO, while the phenotypes will be 1 AB blood to 1 B blood.

I hope this answer helps you find what your looking for! :)

Analyze how a point mutation can affect the overall protein shape and function, using hemoglobin as an example.

aniked [119]

Answer:

A point mutation can be described as a mutation in which changes occur in a single nucleotide. A nucleotide may get changed, deleted or inserted from the sequence of DNA. Point mutations can be harmless or harmful depending on the nucleotide in which the changes occur.

A change in just one nucleotide can result in the formation of wrong amino acid and hence changed or wrong proteins can be formed. If the original protein was involved in cellular reproduction, then the entire process of reproduction can be affected by a point mutation.

Sickle- cell anaemia is a disease in which the body fails to produce enough healthy red blood cells. This disease occurs due to point mutation. Point mutation occurs where glutamine (GAG) of the β-globin gets changed into valine (GUG). This change causes the haemoglobin to get a deformed structure due to which it is not able to carry out oxygen.

Describe the view if you were to stand in the penumbra of a lunar eclipse.

madreJ [45]

From within the Moon's penumbra, a partial solar eclipse can be seen. Like any other opaque objects illuminated by a light source, the Moon and the Earth cast shadows into space as they block the sunlight that hits them. Each shadow has 3 different areas: the umbra, the penumbra, and the antumbra.
