Answer:
O H20 and CH4, but not O2
Explanation:
Compounds consist of multiple elements. O2 is just two oxygen atoms, meaning two atoms from the same element.
Ans.
HD (Huntington's disease) is a genetic neurological disorder that occurs due to damage and death of brain cells. it is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation in HTT (huntingtin) gene, having a trinucleotide repeat section that makes HTT protein.
The mutation leads to an increase in this nucleotide repeat count, associated with formation of altered or mutated huntingtin protein. These altered proteins show deleterious affect on brain cells and result in Huntington's disease.
Thus, the correct answer is 'option A). a mutated gene.'
Answer:
Option 1, No. The highest frequency of heterozygotes under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is 0.5
Explanation:
As per Hardy Weinberg’s equilibrium principle, the maximum frequency of heterozytotic individuals occur only when half of the population is dominant and recessive homozygous.
In other way when the sum of frequency of dominant and recessive species is equal to 0.5, only then the frequency of heterozygotes is maximum which in any case would not be higher than 0.5.
Hence, option 1 is correct
Answer:
It means one trait does not influence the expression of the other. Example is given in the explanation section.
Explanation:
A trait is the phenotypic characteristics an organism possesses. It is determined and controlled by genes. According to Mendel, an organism receives two forms of every gene called ALLELE. Each allele of a gene encodes a different trait.
Mendel, in his law of independent assortment stated that the inheritance of a trait encoded by the alleles of one gene does not influence the inheritance of another trait encoded by the alleles of another gene. A trait is said to be independent of another if it doesn't influence the expression of the other trait.
An example is the seed colour and seed shape trait in a plant. The seed colour trait is encoded by a certain gene and its expression and inheritance is independent of the seed shape trait encoded by another gene.
