Answer:

The probability of two healthy Tay-Sachs carriers having a child that has the disease will be 25 %

Explanation:

It is given that Tay Sachs is a recessive disorder which means the genotype must both recessive allele.

Let the dominant normal allele be T and the recessive diseased allele be t

Genotype of a healthy Tay-Sachs carriers will be Tt

Tt * Tt

TT, Tt, Tt, tt

Only child with genotype tt will have Tay-Sachs disease

Hence the probability of two healthy Tay-Sachs carriers having a child that has the disease will be \frac{1}{4} * 100 = 25 %

Assoli18 [71]

Answer: C. Microfilaments

Explanation: Microfilaments, also called actin filaments, are protein filaments in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells that form part of the cytoskeleton. They are primarily composed of polymers of actin, but are modified by and interact with numerous other proteins in the cell. Microfilaments, or actin filaments, are the thinnest filaments of the cytoskeleton and are found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. The polymers of these linear filaments are flexible but still strong, resisting crushing and buckling while providing support to the cell.
