Answer:

The correct answer is - option D. 1/2

Explanation:

Extra digits on hands and feet mean an individual has six fingers in each hand and feet, this is known as polydactyly. Polydactyly shows an autosomal dominant type of inheritance pattern.

In this case, the mother is normal so she must be recessive alleles and the first daughter is normal so the father must have a recessive allele which means he is heterozygous.

Cross:

Man = Dd

Woman = dd

Their children :

    D      d

d   Dd    dd  

d  Dd    dd

Probability of polydactyl child = 2/4 or 1/2 or 50%

It can be said that metabolism and homeostasis are related. Why can you not achieve homeostasis without metabolism?
Harrizon [31]

The right answer is A.

Metabolic homeostasis is provided by a set of interactions between the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral tissues. The CNS controls the periphery by regulating the fraction of energy that enters the body (caloric intake) and that which emerges from it.

To perform this role, the CNS receives signals from peripheral organs and provides information on peripheral metabolism, as well as the extent of the reserves available to the body.

Describe how the folded structure of a peptide chain and the stereochemistry of an l-amino acid illustrate the difference betwee
snow_tiger [21]

The configuration is a concept that is related to the order (poition) by which different substituents linked to the same central atom, in the case of amino acids, around the central carbon atom. So, amino acids can be divided in two groups, L- and D- forms, analogous to left-handed and right-handed configurations.  

On the other hand, protein folding (folded structure of peptides) is the physical process by which a protein chain acquires its conformation (3D structure) that is usually biologically functional.
