Imagine a pedigree that traces an inherited disorder found in individuals with two recessive alleles for gene D. The pedigree sh

No, the parents don't have a disorder, but they carry recessive allele.

Individuals with the disorder are recessive homozygous (dd). It is known that recessive allele produces its phenotype only when it is paired with another recessive allele. Thus, to have offspring with disorder (with genotype dd), parents must be heterozygous, or one parent is recessive homozygous, and the other one is heterozygous. 

Now, let's imagine both situations:

Parents:            Dd           x              dd
Offspring:       Dd       Dd         dd           dd

In this cross, there is no possibility to have children with genotype DD.

Parents:            Dd           x              Dd
<span>Offspring:       DD       Dd         Dd           dd
</span>
In this cross all three genotypes DD, Dd, or dd could be inherited.

It can be concluded that three children with <span>the genotypes DD, Dd, and dd, the parents must be heterozygous which do not have the disorder.</span>

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

D) Ribosome, ER, Golgi apparatus, vesicle, cell membrane.

Explanation:

Ribosomes are mostly found on the memranes of the rough endoplasmic reticulum of cells. They have ribonucleic acid molecules and are responsible for the synthesis of proteins within the cell.

The endoplasmic reticulum is a membranous network distributed within the cell and is responsible for the transport of the proteins synthesized by the ribosomes.

The Golgi apparatus transport synthesized products to be secrete at the cell membranes. Glycoproteins are also manufactured at in the Golgi apparatus.

The vesicles act as storages in which these products are kept and it open up at the cell membrane to release them to the surroundings.
