CF is a recessive type of disorder which means that both parents must carry the gene in order for the child to inherit the disease. If the child only inherits 1 copy of the affected gene, then the child becomes a carrier. Carriers do not manifests symptoms of the disease but they can pass the disease to their children.
With both parents as carriers, they will have the following chances: 50% carrier children, 25% affected child, and 25% normal child.
Answer:
The given statement is True.
Explanation:
Scala media has endolymph as its constituent and endolymph is rich in Potassium ions (K+)
whereas
Scala tympani and scala vestibuli has in its composition Perilymph and Perilymph has sodium ions as their major constituent ions.
Therefore, scala media is Potassium ion rich while scala tympani and vestibuli are sodium ion rich.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The fatty acid tails of phospholipids are hydrophobic – meaning they are ‘water-hating’. This is why they are in the middle of the bi-lipid layer of the cell membrane 'hiding' from the 'watery' environment of a cell. This poses a challenge in the diffusion of large and charged molecules across the membrane -such as sodium ions. Such molecules need transmembrane protein channels to help them cross the membrane. These are called integral proteins because they are part and parcel of the cell membrane. The cell membrane, in addition, also has glycolipids and glycoproteins on its surface that are significant in the identification of the cell by other cells.
