Question in English:
A female carries a recessive lethal gene (l) on one of her X chromosomes, and a normal dominant allele (L) on the other. What is the sex ratio to be expected in this woman's dependency if she marries a normal man?
Answer:
2/3 females
1/3 males
Explanation:
Females have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have an X and a Y chromosome (XY).
The genotype of the female is XLXl. The genotype of the male is XLY, since he is normal.
The possible genotypes are:
<u> XL Xl</u>
<u>XL</u> <em>XLXL XLXl</em>
<u>Y</u> <em>XLY </em><em>XlY</em>
<em />
All female offspring will be normal as they will always have one normal copy of the X chromosome from their father.
50% of the male offspring will be normal, but 50% will inherit the lethal gene from their mother.
Because the allele is lethal, that means XlY males will not be born.
That means 2/3 of the children will be females, and 1/3 will be males.
Answer:
increases; protein denaturation occurs
Explanation:
One of the characteristic of enzymes is the sensitivity to temperature .
Enzymes are sensitive to the changes in the environmental temperature.The enzymatic activities increases with increase in temperature,up to the optimum of 37 degrees in most animals.
However,once the optimum temperature has been exceeded,enzyme activities drops.This is because below optimum the rate of collision between the enzyme active sites and substrate molecules is very high,therefore more products are formed which increases the rate of reactions.
At temperature above the optimum,the high temperature breaks the bonds,especially the hydrogen bonds holding the 3D structure of the active sites.Therefore,substrate molecules can not fit into the active site,and therefore enzymatic actives of the enzyme is affected,and the enzyme is said to be denatured
Answer:
Our bodies can break down these macromolecules to provide energy for endergonic reactions in our bodies
Answer: True
Explanation:
<u>A cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer made of polar phosphate head and a nonpolar lipid tail.</u> It is semipermeable and regulates the transport of materials through it. For this,<u> it is selectively permeable</u> and since it is made of lipids, hydrophobic and small polar molecules can diffuse easily through it by simple diffusion and down their concentration gradient. However, polar molecules, large molecules (such as glucose) and ions are not able to pass through it because they are repelled.
To accomplish the transport of these molecules that can not diffuse, proteins embebbed in the membrane function as carriers that enable the transport of polar molecules, large molecules and ions by passive (through facilitated diffusion, down its concentration gradient) or active transport (movement against its concentration gradient).
