Which of the following is homozygous dominant? a AA b Aa c aa
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: a). AA

Explanation: Every trait is controlled by at least a pair of gene. Genes have different forms known as alleles. Alleles can be dominant or recessive. A dominant allele expresses itself in the presence of a recessive allele and masks the effect of a recessive allele. A recessive allele cannot express itself in the presence of a dominant allele and it's effect is masked by a dominant allele. Dominant alleles are usually written in upper cases such as A, T, while recessive alleles are usually written in lower cases such as a, t. The two alleles that determines a trait is called a genotype. A genotype can be homozygous if the two alleles are identical such as in AA or aa

and can be heterozygous if the two alleles are not identical such as in Aa, Tt.

What is a communicable disease chain? what steps can a nurse can take to break a link within the communicable disease chain?
Kaylis [27]
<span>A diseases may be classified as either communicable or non-communicable. Communicable diseases are caused by pathogens who inhabit a host, man (I'm not saying man is the only host or man is necessarily the final host; there could be many host) who in turn passes the disease to another. Pathogens are viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal. There are several stages before the pathogen metamorphoses into a full-blown disease. The stages in which several events happen builds up before the pathogen affects the final host is called a communicable disease chain. There are six stages ( Pathogen, reservoir, portal of ext, mode of transmission, portal of entry and susceptible host) in the communicable disease chain but the step a nurse shouod take is 1. Destroy the second link (Reservoir) by thoroughly sanitizing the environment. Obviously, this is where the Pathogens live. If the reservoir is taken care of; there's no way they could infect the host.</span>

On-center cells: A. are excited by light that falls in the periphery of their receptive field. B. are excited by light that fall
Elena L [17]

Answer: B) are excited by light that falls in the center of their receptive field.

Explanation:

There are two types of bipolar cells present in the retina which are differentiated on the way the centres of their receptive fields respond to light. The names of bipolar cells are ON-centre and OFF-centre.

If a light fall at the centre of the receptive field of a bipolar cell, it will experience an exciting effect on that cell, resulting in it being depolarized, it is an ON-center cell.

Hence, the correct option is B.

Which enzyme(s) involved in fatty acid synthesis utilize ATP? Select all that apply.
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

a. Acetyl CoA carboxylase  

Explanation:

Much of the fatty acids used by the body is supplied by the diet, excessive amounts of carbohydrates and protein obtained from the diet can be converted to fatty acids and stored as triglycerides. Fatty acid synthesis occurs mainly in the liver and mammary glands, and to a lesser extent in adipose tissue and kidney, the process incorporates acetyl CoA carbons into the forming fatty acid chain using ATP and NADPH.

The acetyl portion of acetyl CoA is transported to cytosol as citrate, produced by condensation of oxaloacetate and acetyl CoA, the first reaction of the citric acid cycle, this occurs when the concentration of mitochondrial citrate is high, observed when there is a high concentration of ATP and isocitrate dehydrogenase is inhibited.  The increase of citrate and ATP favors the synthesis of fatty acids, since this pathway needs both. Acetyl CoA should be converted to malonyl CoA. Carboxylation is catalyzed by acetyl CoA carboxylase and requires ATP, this reaction is the regulated step in fatty acid synthesis: it is inactivated by products, malonyl CoA and palmitoyl CoA, and activated by citrate, another regulatory mechanism is reversible phosphorylation of enzyme, which makes it inactive due to the presence of adrenaline / glucagon

Pedigrees are used to help geneticists understand how traits are inherited between generations. The Romanovs, a Russian royal fa
svet-max [94.6K]
The question is the following :
<span>What is the best evidence to prove that Irene was heterozygous for hemophilia?
A) Alice carried the recessive allele.
B) Alexandra carried the recessive allele.
C) Frederick carried the recessive allele.
D) Waldemar carried the recessive allele.


The correct answer is A

In the pedigree, marked with blue are the carriers of the X recessive allele ( they have one X that has the mutation and the other that doesn't).
Alice was Irene's' mother, and since both Alice and iIrene have the allele, it is safe to conclude that Irene inherited the recessive allele from Alice.</span>
