<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

Genes;

are specific nucleotide sequences
are located in a specific place on a chromosome
determine the traits of an organism

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Genes are the basic physical and functional units of heredity. They consists of a specific sequence of nucleotides at a given position on a given chromosome that codes for a specific protein.
Genes consist of three types of nucleotide sequence: coding regions, called exons, which specify a sequence of amino acids, non-coding regions, called introns, which do not specify amino acids and regulatory sequences, which play a role in determining when and where the protein is made.

Explain why a lock and key are used to describe the way in which an enzyme works. Describe any ways in which the

LiRa [457]

The lock an key analogy is used because each enzyme has specific substrates that fit into it. This is like how locks only work with a specific key. The enzyme is the lock and the substrates are the key.
2
This analogy is not perfect because there are often multiple substrates for each enzyme reaction. It only takes one key to turn the lock. The reaction is also taking place between the substrates themselves and not the enzyme. In the lock and key analogy, the lock is affected by the key, but in an enzyme reaction, the substrates are affected by the enzyme.
Hope I’ve helped ;)

This tutorial will take you step by step through the question. Individuals with the genotypes Aa Bb CC Dd and Aa bb Cc Dd are cr

Mrac [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

a) 1/16

b) 1/64

c) 1/32

Explanation:

According to the law of independent assortment, each allele of a particular gene has equal chances of getting inherited into the gametes.

In a Mendelian cross of Aa x Aa would give;

AA = 1/4,

Aa = 2/4 and

aa = 1/4

The result of the cross between AaBb x AaBb would be 1/16 due to the fact that probability is still the same AA = 1/4, BB = 1/4 therefore, AABB = 1/16 = 1/4× 1/4.

Now based on this crossing the following:

AaBbCCDd x AabbCcDd.

Take each allele as individual

Aa x Aa would give; AA = 1/4, Aa = 2/4 and aa = 1/4

Bb x bb would give; BB = 1/2, bb = 1/2

CC x Cc would give; CC = 1/2, Cc = 1/2

Dd x Dd would give; DD = 1/4, Dd = 2/4 and dd = 1/4

Then the probability of progeny of the following would be:

a) the probability of AaBbCcDd = 2/4 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 2/4 = 1/16

b) the probability of aabbCCdd = 1/4 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/64

c) the probability of AabbCcDD = 2/4 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/32

What is a ecosystem? write 2 to 5 sentences to explain it

Nonamiya [84]

Ecosystem is that it is a community or group of living organisms that live in and interact with each other in a specific environment.

For instance, tropical forests are ecosystems made up of living beings such as trees, plants, animals, insects and micro-organisms that are in constant interaction between themselves and that are affected by other physical (sun, temperature) or chemical (oxygen or nutrients) components.

An ecosystem consists of a community of organisms together with their physical environment.
Ecosystems can be of different sizes and can be marine, aquatic, or terrestrial. Broad categories of terrestrial ecosystems are called biomes.
In ecosystems, both matter and energy are conserved. Energy flows through the system—usually from light to heat—while matter is recycled.
Ecosystems with higher biodiversity tend to be more stable with greater resistance and resilience in the face of disturbances, or disruptive events.
