When you observe mutation in one allele you can see that the other one can functionate as usually and transfer the information to a cell showing that cell is able to produce enough CFTR proteine to functionate well. And you have two alleles with mutation the cell is no longer able to make <span>functional CFTR protein which leads to </span>disease.

What molecules produce by the light reactions are used by the Calvin cycles

babymother [125]

Explanation:

The reactions of the Calvin cycle add carbon (from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere) to a simple five-carbon molecule called RuBP. These reactions use chemical energy from NADPH and ATP that were produced in the light reactions. The final product of the Calvin cycle is glucose.

Answer:

i can only define the terms for you.

Explanation:

chromosome - a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.

chromatid - each of the two threadlike strands into which a chromosome divides longitudinally during cell division, each containing a double helix of DNA.

gene - a distinct sequence of nucleotides that forms a part of a chromosome, the order of which determines the order of monomers in a polypeptide or nucleic acid molecule which a cell or virus that may synthesize
