So that in a guinea pig cross in the offspring the recessive trait —long hair— can be observed in 25%, the most probable genotype of the parents is heterozygous Ss.

Explanation:

In guinea pigs, for the characteristic hair length, short hair is the dominant allele and long hair is the recessive one.

In order for 25% of the offspring to express the recessive characteristic, the parents must have a recessive genotype, which can be seen in Punnett's Square:

P: Ss X Ss

Alleles S s

S SS Ss

s Ss ss

Where the offspring is:

50% Ss with short hair phenotype
25% SS with short hair phenotype
25% ss whose phenotype would be long hair.

According to this, heterozygous parents for the characteristic long hair in guinea pigs have a 25% chance of having offspring with long hair.

Myoglobin transfers oxygen obtained from hemoglobin to mitochondrial proteins involved in the catabolism of metabolic fuels to p

mario62 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mitochondria is a double membrane bound organelle that is located in most eukaryotic organisms and it has a number of different shapes.

A mitochondrion has a outer and inner membranes made up of phospholipid bilayers and proteins which have different properties. Because of the double membraned organization, mitochondria have five distinct parts:

Outer mitochondrial membrane

Intermembrane space which is the space between the outer and inner membranes

Inner mitochondrial membrane,

the cristae space which is formed by the folding in of the inner membrane and

matrix which is the space within the inner membrane.

Mitochondria has a complex structure that allows for all the activities carried out by it this includes,Energy conversion, Pyruvate and the citric acid cycle, NADH and FADH2 which are the electron transport chain, Heat production and Storage of calcium.
