Answer:

an autosomal recessive disorder

Explanation:

Autosomal recessive disorders are inherited diseases caused by the presence of two copies (alleles) of an abnormal gene, thereby only homo-zygous recessive individuals are affected by this type of disease. In consequence, although both parents don't express the disease, they can be carriers and pass this recessive disorder to their offspring who express the disease. In this case, the pedigree shows that heterozygous parents are not affected but they are carriers of the recessive allele for this disease, thereby some offspring express the trait. The black circle (female) and the black square (male) indicate affected individuals in the pedigree chart. Since both parents are heterozygous, 1/4 (25%) of all offspring would be expected to have the autosomal recessive disorder.

Answer:

Explanation:

The higher temperature is the factor which is responsible for the process of denaturation of proteins in which the breaking down of hydrogen, disulphide bonds and destabilization occurs. This process breaks up the bond between the polypeptides.

The bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor comprises of 58 amino acids this consists of the disulphide bonds which are destroyed on heating as a result of this the inhibitor becomes inactive. But on cooling it comes to the original form as the internal structure starts making hydrogen and disulphide bonds again. Thus the activity of the BPTI again gets restored.

Many organelles and membranes play role in this system like lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies and nuclear membrane.

Note: Chloroplasts, Mitochondria and peroxisomes are not part of endomembrane system.
