Answer:

As chlorine has 7 valence electrons, it tends to form bonds to gain one electron (to get a full valence shell of 8).On the other hand, potassium has one valence electron, so it tends to lose this electron to other atoms (and

become a cation)

Tay-Sachs disease is a lethal, autosomal recessive genetic disorder. If both parents are heterozygous carriers of the disease, w

rjkz [21]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Let's assume that the allele "T" gives the normal phenotype while the recessive allele "t" imparts the disease and is lethal in homozygous condition. The genotype of each of the two carrier parents would be "Tt". A cross between Tt and Tt would give the progeny in the following genotype ratio=

Tt x Tt= 1/4 TT: 1/2 Tt: 1/4 tt

Therefore, 1/2 or 50% progeny would be the carrier for the Tay-Sachs disease.

1. How does base pairing differ in RNA, compared to DNA?

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

A. A pairs with U

Explanation:

In DNA, the nitrogenous bases are A, T, G, and C. In RNA, the nitrogenous bases are A, U, G, and C.

A pairs with U in RNA because it requires less energy to use uracil over thymine.

Hope that helps.
