The most fundamental difference is that the DNA molecules are less an oxygen moiety - hence "DE-OXY-" ribonucleic acid. There are more than a few physical implications that result from that structural difference in terms of how the different molecules function in biologic systems - but that is beyond the scope of your question in the context in which you asked it.

In animals, the inability to make the pigment melanin results in albinism, a recessive autosomal condition. Two unaffected paren
Fittoniya [83]

Answer: 1/16, or approximately 6.25% (see explanation below)

Explanation:

Answering this question requires two steps.

First, we need to figure out the probability that this couple will have a child with albinism in the first place. We know the following:

- Both parents are unaffected.

- The couple has already had one affected child.

- Albinism follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.

Let ( M = normal gene ) and ( m = mutated gene ). Since the condition is recessive, the affected child can be assumed to have a “mm” genotype. Barring the possibility of a de novo mutation (which are assumed to be rare), the affected child must have inherited one ”m” allele from each parent. Since both of them are unaffected, however, we can assume that they are both carriers (genotype “Mm”). In conclusion, 1/4 of their offspring (25%) <em>for any given pregnancy</em> may be expected to have albinism. See the resulting Punnett square:

<u>       |      M    |      m   </u>

<u>M    |    MM   |    Mm  </u>

<u>m    |    Mm   |    mm  </u>

Note that the question asks about the probability that not one but two consecutive births result in affected children. Since it can be assumed that both events are independent (meaning: the outcome of a pregnancy does not influence the outcome of following ones), we may apply the rule of multiplication for probabilities. The final answer is therefore 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16.

What primary organs are involved in the excretion process
kap26 [50]

Answer:

The large intestines, liver, body, and lungs are included

Explanation:

Excretion is the mechanism by which waste and excess water are eliminated from the skin. It's one of the key ways that homeostasis is maintained by the body. Although kidneys are always the key excretion organs, a number of organs are also excreting waste. The large intestines, liver, body, and lungs are included. The excretory system is made up of all of these organs of excretion, along with kidneys.
