In a mating between two individuals that are heterozygous for a recessive lethal allele that is expressed in utero, what genotyp

Answer:

1:2:0

Explanation:

If two recessive lethal alleles come together, they will be expressed and lead to the offspring's death. Let the dominant allele be S and the recessive allele be s. Here, the two individuals are heterozygous for it. So when they mate:

    S     s

S  SS  Ss

s   Ss   ss

1/4 have homozygous fominant genotype (SS), 2/4 have heterozygous genotype (Ss) and 1/4 have homozygous recessive (ss) genotype. Since 1/4 offspring have ss genotype, they will die. Hence, the usual 1:2:1 ratio has been modified here to only 1:2:0

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Radioactive dating is the technique in which scientists used radioactive material like carbon or uranium to date the materials. This method of dating is based on the known decay rate of the isotopes of an element. Uranium, Carbon, and potassium are few examples of elements commonly used in radioactive dating.

What is converting the genetic code into the language of proteins?
Ulleksa [173]


This is a process called transcription and translation.

Information to synthesize a particular protein is found in DNA in the cell nucleus. This information is copied (transcribed)  onto messenger RNA or mRNA in short. The copying process is called transcription.

mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm where it attaches to a ribosome. Transfer RNA or tRNA then begins to read (translate) the information on the attached mRNA. This is the process of translation.

tRNA then fetches amino acids that correspond to this information and brings them to the ribosome where they are linked together into a chain. This chain of amino acids is the primary structure of  the protein.
