Answer:

No, the child cannot inherit the disease.

Explanation:

The problem tells you that the man has a recessive allele for an inherited disease, but he has a normal phenotype. This means that the disease is recessive and in order for an individual to have the disease, they must have two recessive copies of the allele. The problem also tells you that the mother has a genotype that does not include this allele. With this information, you can do a punnet cross of BB (mother) x Bb (carrier father), and end up with the following possible genotypes: BB, Bb, BB, Bb. Therefore the child will not have the disease, but there is a 50% chance that the child will be a carrier for the disease.

The right options are; makes food for all organisms, adds oxygen to the atmosphere, is a source of medicines and fibers, is a source of building materials and it provides animal habitat.

Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants and some other autotrophs use light energy in chloroplasts to generate carbohydrates (food) from carbon dioxide and water while oxygen is being released as a by-product. Photosynthesis is essential to all living organisms on earth because it is the main source of oxygen in the atmosphere. Photosynthesis provides animal habitat, it provides food for all organisms (directly for plants and indirectly for animals). Plants and trees produce their foods through photosynthesis and are used as medicines and fibers, and as building materials.

<h3>What is the codon?</h3>

Codon is actually a three-letter code which is a sequence of three consecutive nucleotides in a DNA or RNA molecule which generally codes for a specific amino acid.

The DNA sequence given here is:

T A T A T C T A C G G T C C G G C A T C G A T T T C G

So the RNA sequence for this will be:

A U A U A G A U G C C A G G C C G U A G C U A A A G C.

So according to the table, the amino-acid sequence will be:

Isoleucine STOP Methionine Proline Glycine Arginine Serine STOP Serine.

Generally stop codon is responsible for the termination of protein synthesis.

Thus, this was the amino acid sequence for mRNA according to the given DNA sequence.
