Tay-Sachs is an inherited, recessive trait which involves the inability to properly break down certain lipids. A normal couple h

as a child affected with Tay-Sachs. For each of the following situations, select the most appropriate frequency from the list below. What is the probability that the mother of the Tay-Sachs child is heterozygous dominant.

Answer:

The mother must be heterozygous.

Explanation:

t=Tay-Sachs trait

T=Normal trait

Parent genotype combinations:

Tt x Tt

Possible genotypes:

<u>     |  T    |    t  </u>

<u> T  </u><u>| TT  |   Tt  </u>

<u> t   </u><u>| Tt   |    tt  </u>

Since it is a recessive trait there must be 2 of the recessive alleles for the trait to show. This means neither of the parents can be totally normal(TT).

Since both parents are considered normal the both must be heterozygous to be able to produce an child with Tay-Sachs.

Why is vinegar used in food preservation?
weqwewe [10]
Vinegar is an extremely acidic liquid. Very few microorganisms (ie bacteria and fungus which cause foods to spoil) can survive in such an acidic environment. Among other effects, it can destroy their cell walls, and prevent their own enzymes working (enzymes are extremely pH sensitive). There are a small number of microorgamisms which are adapted to survive in extreme acidity. However, this adaptation prevents them from surviving in more 'normal' environments. Therefore, anything which can survive in the vinegar, will not likely survive on your kitchen surface, and the same is true the other way around. Therefore, as vitually nothing can colonise whatever is in the vinegar, the food will be very effectively preserved. . . . . . . . . . . you can say........................ . . the low pH a nd high acidity of vinegar destroy bacteria
