Answer:
Imagine that NASA discovered a prokaryote-like organism. Initial experiments indicated they use the same DNA → RNA → protein system as life on Earth, except that
there are only 2 bases (A and T) in the Martian DNA, and
there are only 17 amino acids found in Martian proteins.
Based on this information, what is the minimum size of a codon for these hypothetical organisms?
Explanation:
Bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae
Answer: One parent is IAi and the other parent is IBi
Explanation: As this trait is codominant, the child can inherited IA, IB or i.
Tina has type O, which means she is ii and her sister is AB, so her genotype is IAIB. Now, to have a child with a recessive trait both parents has to carry at least one allele for the recessive, i. Rosa is type AB which means she had to have inherited one allele IA from one of her parents and the other IB from the other parent. Thus, one parent is IAi and the other is IBi.
The aorta carries oxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the rest of the body for energy and metabolism.
The energy for ATP synthesis comes from organic molecules (such as carbohydrates), or from sunlight, or from inorganic electron donors. We can classify organisms according to their source of energy and organic carbon:
<span><span>heterotrophs – get energy and organic carbon from metabolism of pre-existing organic compounds (food)</span><span>photoautotrophs – use energy from sunlight to make ATP and their own organic carbon compounds from carbon dioxide chemoautotrophs</span><span> – use energy from inorganic chemicals to make ATP and their own organic carbon compounds from carbon dioxide</span></span>
Metabolic pathways carry out reactions that capture energy from these various sources (organic compounds, sunlight or chemicals) and couple them to synthesis of ATP from ADP.
