A woman and man have approached you for genetic counseling and are concerned about a hereditary form of deafness in their family

. Both have normal hearing and there are no children. The woman's father has autosomal dominant sensory-neural deafness. Assume he is heterozygous. This hearing impairment displays onset at about age 10, and penetrance appears to be about 70%. There is no family history of deafness among the man's relatives. What is the probability that the woman is a carrier of the deafness allele

Answer:

35% is the probability that the woman is a carrier of the deafness allele

Explanation:

Both man and woman have normal hearing

Woman's father has autosomal dominant sensory-neural deafness - Dd

Genotype of heterozygous Woman's father = Dd

Let us assume that woman’s mother has normal hearing = dd

Dd * dd

Dd, Dd, dd, dd

Two deaf and two normal offspring.  

Since the penetration is of 70%, the probability of woman being a carrier is  

½ * 70% = 0.35

Three-carbon molecules of PGA are converted to G3P small sugar molecules by _____, which come from the light reaction.
anyanavicka [17]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>ATP and NADPH</em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Three-carbon molecules of PGA are converted to G3P small sugar molecules by <em><u>ATP and NADPH</u></em>, which come from the light reaction.

  • <em><u>Photosynthesis</u></em>, a process in which green plants use energy from the sun to make their own food, involves two types of reactions, light reactions in light stage and light independent reactions in dark stage.
  • During <em><u>the light reactions ATP and NADH are generated from the electron transport chains</u></em>, which are then taken to the second stage (light independent stage) of photosynthesis. During the Light independent stage the energy stored in ATP and NADH is <em><u>used to convert 3-carbon PGA to G3P</u></em>.
