Answer:

Please see the answer below

Explanation:

a. The roman numerals represent the various generations in the pedigree.

I represents first generation

II represents the second generation

b. The half shaded square and circle representing the parents means that both of them are carriers for the trait in question. Tay-Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive inheritance, assuming the trait is represented by the allele a, the gentoypes of the parents would be Aa and Aa respectively.

c. Still on the assumption that the disease is represented by the allele a. If offpsring II4 which happens to be free of the Tay-Sachs allele marries a person that also does not carry the Tay-Sachs disease gene, the cross will be as shown below.

AA x AA = AA, AA, AA, and AA.

All the children would be free from the Tay-Sach's allele. That is, they will be homozygous normal.

What are all of the energy transformations that take place as sunlight is converted to usable energy within humans

Charra [1.4K]

The energy transformation in the sun is primarily the change of nuclear energy to light energy.

More Explainable: The sun is said to "burn hydrogen" but what that really means is that near the center of the sun there is enough temperature and pressure to cause the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) into helium nuclei (two protons and two neutrons). The fusion (not fission) reaction energy give off energy in a complex way that includes heat and light. The light works its way out from the center of the sun to the surface and eventually out of the surface into space. That is the sunlight we see as well as some light that is outside our range of vision. The light is electromagnetic energy.

Tumor-suppressor genes help prevent uncontrolled cell growth. One that is found mutated (and therefore nonfunctional) in more th

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

p53 helps the cells from passing on mutations that lead to DNA damage. Hence, it is known as the guardian angel of the cell as it helps fight against cancer. However, if p53 becomes defective or missing, then the mutations will lead to cancer.

Mutations in the p53 can also cause the tumor-suppressing genes to convert into tumor causing genes. Hence, mutations in such kind of genes can be very harmful for the body.
