Answer:

One of the primary functions of carbohydrates is to provide your body with energy. Most of the carbohydrates in the foods you eat are digested and broken down into glucose before entering the bloodstream.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are the main source of energy in our bodies, and are also good for quick energy sources.

Carbohydrates such as glucose are used by the body during cellular respiration to produce ATP energy to fuel cells.

1. Flower position, stem length, and seed shape are three characters that Mendel studied. Each is controlled by an independently

maria [59]

Answer:

a. 1/64 AATTDD

b. 1/64 aattdd

c. 8/64=1/8 AaTtDd

d. 2/64 = 1/32 AATTDd or aattDd or AAttDd or aaTTDd

Explanation:

Available data:

Flower position: Axial (A) is dominant to Terminal (a)

Stem length: Tall (T) is dominant to dwarf (t)

Seed shape: Round (R) is dominant to wrinkled (r)

Cross:

Parental) AaTtDd x AaTtDd

Knowing that these four genes assort independently, then we can infer that the F1 will have the next genotypic proportions for each gene:

AA= 1/4

Aa =2/4

aa = 1/4

TT = 1/4

Tt = 2/4

tt = 1/4

DD = 1/4

Dd = 2/4

dd = 1/4

This is the same as developing a Punnett square for each gene separately.

Knowing this, to get each of the mentioned genotypes for each trait, we must multiply their respective genotypic proportions, like this:

a. homozygous for the three dominant traits, AATTDD

AA1/4 x TT 1/4 x DD 1/4 = AATTDD 1/64

b. homozygous for the three recessive traits, aattdd

aa 1/4 x tt 1/4 x dd 1/4 = aattdd 1/64

c. heterozygous for all three characters, AaTtDd

Aa 2/4 x Tt 2/4 x Dd 2/4 = AaTtDd 8/16=1/8

d. homozygous for axial and tall, heterozygous for seed shape. There are four possibilities, all of them with the same result:

AATTDd --> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

aattDd ---> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

AAttDd ---> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

aaTTDd ---> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

butalik [34]

Answer:

Transboundary

Explanation:

Transboundary refers to a highly contagious disease that has the potential to spread extremely rapid irrespective of national boundary. They cause high mobility and motility in the susceptible animals. An example of such diseases include Avian Influenza and the African Swine flu.

Zoonotic disease is disease that can be transmitted from animals to Humans example anthrax.

Exotic disease refers to a disease that does not normally occur in a particular region

Emerging diseases are those that have recently appeared and are cases are rapidly increasing.

Epizootic are those that appear in a large number of animals in the same place at the same time
