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.

. Describe the structures of proteins and nucleic acids, and then explain the relationship between these two molecules within a
Snowcat [4.5K]
<span>Proteins are large biomolecules that are made up of long chains of building block molecules called amino acids. Each amino acid folds to form a protein with a specific cellular function.

Nucleic acid is basically DNA & RNA. DNA is the genetic information that contains all the information one needs to live. RNA stands for ribonucleic acid and has a variety of roles.

When comparing them, they actually don't look at all similar when looking at the large molecules or the 'building blocks'. But, they're both made up of mostly carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. The elements mentioned are assembled in different ways for both Proteins & Nucleic acid. The major similarity between them is that with the protein production DNA and RNA contain all the information that a cell uses to make protein.

DNA --transcription--> RNA --translation--> Proteins

How are embryonic stem cells different from other types of stem cells?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
These include each of the more than 220 cell types in the adult body. Pluripotency distinguishes embryonic stem cells from adult stem cells found in adults; while embryonic stem cells can generate all cell types in the body, adult stem cells are multipotent and can produce only a limited number of cell types.

The diagram shows the sequence of three rigid transformations used to map ABC onto A"B"C". What is the sequence of the transform
Andrei [34K]
There are 4 kinds of transformations. The main ones are rotation, translation, and reflection. The geometric fourth one is dilation. •Rotation-> (to turn) The figure is turned to the right or left like for example: 90°,180°, 360° clockwise or counterclockwise. •Translation-> (to move) where the integers are increasing to positive or negative. Positive-> right/up Negative->left/down. •Reflection-> (to flip) Over any axis. The figure will remain the same distance from the axis. Dilation->(to enlarge or shrink) The images either get bigger or smaller, but still keep the same shape. *note: I do not see the diagram
