Answer: In cats, one of several genes controlling fur color is located on the X chromosome. The gene has two versions, or alleles. One form of the gene codes for orange fur (XB), and the other form codes for black fur (Xb). While it's difficult to say which allele is dominant and which is recessive, since only one is ever expressed (see below), let's say, for the sake of argument, that orange is dominant to black. Ordinarily, this would mean that an animal inheriting one copy of each gene (genotype XBXb) should have orange fur. Surprisingly, a female cat heterozygous at that locus (XBXb) will not be orange. Instead, her coat will be a patchwork of orange and black, a condition known as tortoiseshell. Male color expression is straightforward. Because only one allele exists for the gene in each cell, it will be expressed. And all males have only B or only b. There are no heterozygotes, because the Y does not carry the allele.

Explanation:

I got this from an article! I hope this helps.

Calico cats are predominantly female because they’re colouring is related to the X chromosome.

  1. Two X chromosomes are needed for a cat to have that distinctive tri-colour coat.
  2. If a cat has an XX pair, she will be female.
  3. Male cats have an XY chromosome pair, so they can’t be Calicos.

The cytoplasm has a reducing environment, while the extracellular space tends to have an oxidizing environment. Based on this in
inna [77]

Answer:

In the extracellular space

Explanation:

Disulfide bonds are interconnections between chains (or between parts of a chain) formed by the oxidation of cysteine ​​radicals, this reaction is catalyzed by specific enzymes.

Intracellular proteins have no disulfide bonds, which are more common in proteins secreted into the extracellular environment.

Disulfide bonds do not form in the cytoplasm because there are a lot of reducers in the cytoplasm (intracellular environment) , making the disulfide bonds unstable. The reducing environment of cytoplasm causes disulfide bonds (S-S) to return to the form of cysteine ​​groups (-SH).

Why would there be a relationship between photosynthesis and temperature<br><br> Help me
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Enzyme-controlled chemical reactions combining carbon dioxide and glucose water. The photosynthetic rate is affected by the temperature much like any other enzyme-controlled reaction.

Explanation:

At low temperatures, the number of molecular collisions between enzymes and substrates limits the photosynthetic rate. Enzymes are denatured at high temperatures.

Enzymes are protein molecules used in biological reactions by living organisms. The proteins are folded in a very specific form, which enables them to effectively bind to the molecules of interest. The enzymes used for photosynthesis perform less efficiently at a low temperature between 32 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit 0, 10, and 10 degrees Celsius, which lowers the photosynthesis rate.This will lead to lower glucose synthesis and slow growth. In the case of plants in a greenhouse, this is prevented by installing a greenhouse heater and thermostat.
