The question is incomplete. The complete question is as following:

Tay Sach's disease is a fatal genetic condition, in which affected individuals cannot metabolize fats properly. Children who inherit the disease rarely live past the age of five. The disease is caused by the presence of a homozygous recessive gene. If a child has Tay Sach's disease, what would her parents' genotypes be?

Answer:

Parents will have heterozygous genotypes

Explanation:

Tay Sach is an inherited genetic disorder that destroys nerve cells in the spinal cord and brain.

Children with Tay Sach diseases have a homozygous recessive gene, it means both parents would have heterozygous because they carry heterozygous for the dominant trait. If any one from the parent would have homozygous recessive gene, they would have died as children. it means there are 25% chance that their child will inherit Tay Sach's.

Hence, the parents would have heterozygous genotype.

how do you think plant cells differ from animal cells? (Hint: what can plants do that animals cannot?

zvonat [6]

A difference between plant cells and animal cells is that most animal cells are round whereas most plant cells are rectangular.Plant cells have a rigid cell wall that surrounds the cell membrane. Animal cells do not have a cell wall. When looking under a microscope, the cell wall is an easy way to distinguish plant cells.

Difference Between Plant And Animal Cells 1 Chloroplast. Like animal cells plant cells have mitochondria. 2 Cell Wall. Animal cells do not contain a cell wall while plant cells and fungi cells do. 3 Vacuole. Vacuoles are very large membrane-bound sacs within plant cells.

torisob [31]

Answer:

the process described in the question, described by Alessandro Volta refers to superconductivity, in which two metals connected by a conductive liquid produce a continuous transfer of electrons, these metals are considered superconductors since they do not have electrical resistance and this is always maintained and when the temperature is adequate, different from terms such as the resistance that is the impediment to the flow passage, or to the electric static in which the energy accumulation is maintained without movement or transfer or the electric current that is the energy in the same metal.

meriva

Answer:

36 ATPs

Explanation:

Cellular respiration starts with glycolysis wherein glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate. The process of glycolysis forms two molecules of ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation for each glucose molecule. Both pyruvate molecules are converted into acetyl CoA to enter into the Kreb's cycle. Kreb's cycle forms two ATP molecules by substrate-level phosphorylation. NADH and FADH2 formed during glycolysis and Kreb's cycle are oxidized by the electron transport chain. This process also forms as many as 34 ATP molecules. If acetyl CoA is not formed, the total ATP gain per glucose will be only 2 ATP molecules (from glycolysis only) which is 38-2= 36 less than the total.
