People who have Alzheimer’s disease experience an increasing loss of brain function and cognition over time. Alzheimer’s is char

acterized by a buildup of abnormal protein fragments that damage brain cells. Recently scientists have discovered an enzyme, BACE2, that decreases these abnormal protein fragments in the brain of a person with Alzheimer’s disease. Which statement explains how BACE2 most likely works?

What is the primary product of light independent reactions
SOVA2 [1]

The primary products of the light independent reactions  (after one turn of the cycle) are:

a)  two G3P molecules

b)  three ADP

c) two NADP+

However ADP and NADP+ are not really "products". They are regenerated and later used again in the Light-dependent reactions.  Each G3P molecule is composed of three carbons.

For the Calvin cycle (Light independent cycle) to continue, 5 out of  the 6 carbons provided by the two G3P molecules are used to regenerate ribulose 1, 5 phosphate. Therefore there  remains only one carbon for the next turn of the cycle.

One  molecule of glucose requires 6 turns of the cycle. Any extra G3P is used to make starch, sucrose and cellulose.

Toemas’s syndrome is a autosomal dominant disease, homozygous lethal, seen at a frequency of 1 in 10,000 cats. Felines with this
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: 50% or 25% according to the genotype of the male cat.

Explanation:

The female cat is unaffected, and since this is an autosomal dominant diease, it means this cat does not have any affected alleles. Thereby,<u> its genotype is aa</u>. This is because dominant alleles show their effect even if the organisms only has one copy of the allele. The male cat is affected with this syndrome <u>so its genotype is either AA or Aa</u>. For this disease to manifest itself, only one affected allele is needed. Although both alleles can be affected so the individual can be homozygous dominant or heterozygous.

To find this we have to do a punnett square. Here, we use the gametes produced by each individual. <u>Gametes are sex cells, egg or sperm, which only have one allele of each gene.</u>

Assuming that the cross is between aa and AA, the gametes produced by "aa" are "a", and the gametes produced by "AA" are "A" So we are having a cross between an "a" gamete and a "A" gamete. 100% of the offspring will be Aa so it is a heterozygous, which will develope this syndrome. And, males have one Y chromosome and one X chromosomes, thereby the chances of having a male kitten is 50%. Then, to conclude, there is a 50% chances of having a male kitten with this syndrome.

And, assuming that the cross is between aa and Aa, the gametes produced by "Aa" are "A" but also "a" So we are habing a cross between an "a" gamete and "A" or "a" gamete (See picture) In this example, there is a 50% chances of having a kitten with the syndrome, because only one genotype produced (Aa) has the affected allele. And, as we said before, since there is a 50% chances of having a male kitten, we can said that there is a 25% chances of having an affected male. Because to calculate both probabilities so that they occur simultaneously, it is necessary to multiply them. That is, 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25 x 100 = 25%.
