1. The main aim of the Human Genome Project was to determine the DNA Sequence of every human gene.

2. Variation in skin colour is an example of polygenic inheritance

This Human Karyotype is unusual because it has an extra chromosome at chromosome 21.

Klinefelters syndrome is shown in the second figure

Explanation:

1. The Human Genome Project's main goal was to sequence all the 30,000 genes and 3 million base pairs in their makeup for the early detection of diseases, gene therapy and molecular level studies.

2. Human skin colour is determined by the pigment melanin. The Dominant allele is responsible for dark colours as it produces more melanin. The melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene and Tyrosinase enzyme codes for the human skin colour. Polygenic inheritance are the traits which are controlled by one or more genes.

<u>figures:</u>

<u>The extra chro</u>mosome at the 21st chromosome pairs is called trisomy 21 or Down's Syndrome. It is due to the abnormal cell division/meiosis resulting in an extra X chromosome. This leads to thechanges the in physical development of the individual.

Klinefelter's Syndrome: There are 47 chromosomes and 2 or more X chromosomes in this syndrome of males. The resulting male suffering from Klinefelter would be sterile and have poorly developed testicles.

Answer:The world population increased from 1 billion in 1800 to 7.7 billion today. The world population growth rate declined from 2.2% per year 50 years ago to 1.05% per year. Other relevant research: ... We show how the world population grew over the last several thousand years and we explain what has been driving this change.

From a Punnett square you can get the genotypic and phenotypic proportions of the progeny produced from a cross. Cross: PpRr x PpRr. F1: PPRR, PPRr, PPRr, PPrr, PpRr, Pprr, ppRR, ppRr, pprr.

<h3>What is a Punnett square?</h3>

The Punnett square is a graphic representation that shows the different types of gamete combinations according to the alleles involved in a cross.

Punnett square shows the probabilities of getting offspring with different genotypes and their consequent phenotypes.

In the exposed example, we know that two genes are involved in the cross.

As we can see, there are dominant and recessive alleles for both genes.

Since each genotype in the square results from the combination of parental gametes, we can figure out which are the parental genotypes.

For instance, let us consider the provided genotypes

PPRr.

We can assume one of the parents provided a P and a R dominant alleles, while the other parent provided another P allele but a r recessive allele.

PR + Pr ⇒ PPRr

ppRr.

One of the parents provided a p recessive allele and a R dominant allele, The other parent provided another p allele and a r recessive allele.

pR + pr ⇒ ppRr

pprr.

Both parents provided p and r recessive alleles.

pr + pr ⇒ pprr

From this information, we can assume parents are heterozygous for both genes.

Cross:

Parentals) PpRr x PpRr

Gametes) PR, Pr, pR, pr PR, Pr, pR, pr

Punnett square) PR Pr pR pr

PR PPRR PPRr PpRR PpRr

Pr PPRr PPrr PpRr Pprr

pR PpRR PpRr ppRR ppRr

pr PpRr Pprr ppRr pprr

F1) 1/16 individuals are expected to be PPRR

2/16 individuals are epected to be PPRr

1/16 individuals are expected to be PPrr

2/16 individuals are expected to be PpRR

4/16 individuals are expected to be PpRr

2/16 individuals are expected to be Pprr

1/16 individuals are expected to be ppRR

2/16 individuals are expected to be ppRr

1/16 individuals are expected to be pprr

For a better understanding, you will find the Punnett square in the attached files representing the parental gametes with different colors, and the resulting genotypes with a combination of these colors.

In this way, you will notice which gamete comes from which parent.

WITCHER [35]

Lasts are used for photosynthesis .

They have a double membrane around them.

The space inside is called the stroma. The space may contain starch grains and lipid bodies.

In the stroma are structures called thylakoids.

The thylakoids are stacked to form structures called grana.

The grana contain the pigment chlorophyll along with some secondary pigments.
