Two humans mate who are heterozygous for earlobe shape where attached earlobes (A) are dominant to free earlobes (a), and earwax

quality where dry earwax (e) is recessive to wet earwax (E ). What is the probability that their first child will have dry earwax and attached earlobes

Answer:

3/16

Explanation:

This question involves two different genes coding for earlobe shape and earwax quality. The alleles for attached earlobes (A) and wet earwax (E) are dominant over the alleles for free earlobes (a) and dry earwax (e).

According to this question, two humans mate who are heterozygous for both genes i.e. AaEe × AeEe. Each parent will produce the following gametes: AE, Ae, aE, ae.

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following proportion of offsprings will be produced:

* Attached earlobe, wet earwax (A_E_) = 9/16

* Attached earlobe, dry earwax (A_ee) = 3/16

* Free earlobe, wet earwax (aaE_) = 3/16

* Free earlobe, dry earwax (aaee) = 1/16

Hence, the probability of these parents having their first child with dry earwax (ee) and attached earlobes (A_) i.e. genotype A_ee is 3/16.

Peptides are hydrolyzed into amino acids. <br><br> a. True<br> b. False
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

"The peptide products are then further hydrolyzed into amino acids via other proteases, and then absorption occurs into the bloodstream. Hence, Trypsin digests proteins into amino acids. So, the correct answer is 'true'"

Use the drop-down menus to answer the questions about genetic recombination. involves the transfer of genetic material from one
Tresset [83]

The right matches are:

• Involves the transfer of genetic material from one bacteria to another ==> Genetic recombination (all 3).

• Involves scraps of genetic material ==> Transformation.

• Uses a virus to transmit genetic material ==> Transduction.

• Uses a pilus to transmit genetic information ==> Conjugation.

• Introduces new genetic material to a bacterium ==> Genetic recombination (all 3).

In molecular biology the term genetic recombination is often used as a synonym for DNA recombination, that is, the processes by which one DNA (or RNA) molecule is cut off, then joined to another.

There are three possible mechanisms in the bacterium: bacterial conjugation, bacterial transformation and transduction.
