Answer: April Cashin-Garbutt, MA, reviewed it (Cantab) Collagen is a protein composed up of amino acids, which are carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen molecules. Glycine, Proline, Hydroxyproline, and Arginine are among the amino acids found in collagen. Collagen makes up around a third of the proteins in the human body.

In mice, a male and female are mated, both with long ears. All female have long ears but half the males bave short ears and half

rjkz [21]

If you have both parents with long ears and some of the offsprings have short ears, you can say both parents are heterozygous for this. Both have a dominant (long ear), and a recessive allele (short ear).

To prove this, you can draw a Punnett square, and you'll see the probabilities of the offsprings.

Gelneren [198K]

Arthropoda and molluscs have open circulatory systems - meaning haemolymph (Their equivalent to blood) directly bathes the tissue, and isn't enclosed in blood vessels, as seen in a closed blood system, as in humans for example.

How much carbon (in g/m2) is released into the atmosphere as a result of the metabolic activity of herbivores? give your answer

yuradex [85]

I think about 60 g/m^2 is released into the atmosphere as a result of the metabolic activity of herbivores. Metabolism is the sum of the chemical reactions that take place within a cell of a living organisms and that provide energy energy for vital processes and also for synthesizing new organic material. In herbivores, cellular respiration is the major process that releases carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

If A/A ⋅ B/B is crossed with a/a ⋅ b/b and the F1 is testcrossed, what percentage of the testcross progeny will be a/a ⋅ b/b if

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

a) 25%; b) 50%; c) 45%; d) 38%

Explanation:

<h3 /><h3>a) Unlinked genes</h3>

A/A B/B X a/a b/b

F1: A/a B/b

Testcross A/a B/b X a/a b/b

The homozygous recessive individual only produces <em>ab</em><em> </em>gametes.

The F1 produces four types of gametes (each of them with a frequency of 1/4): <em>AB</em>, <em>Ab</em>, <em>aB </em>and <em>ab</em>.

25% of the progeny will be a/a b/b.

<h3>b) Completely linked genes</h3>

AB/AB X ab/ab

F1: AB/ab

Testcross AB/ab X ab/ab

The F1 produces only two types of gametes, the parentals (each of them with a frequency of 1/2): <em>AB</em> and <em>ab</em>.

50% of the progeny will be ab/ab.

<h3>c) 10 m.u. apart</h3>

AB/AB X ab/ab

F1: AB/ab

Testcross AB/ab X ab/ab

The F1 produces four types of gametes, the parentals <em>AB</em> and <em>ab </em>and the recombinants <em>Ab</em> and <em>aB</em>.

Since the genes are 10mu apart, 10% of the produced gametes will be recombinant and 90% will be parentals. Since there are two types of parental gametes, each of them has a frequency of 45%.

45% of the progeny will be ab/ab.

<h3>d) 24 m.u. apart</h3>

This is very similar to c).

Since the genes are 24mu apart, 24% of the produced gametes will be recombinant and 76% will be parentals. Since there are two types of parental gametes, each of them has a frequency of 38%.

38% of the progeny will be ab/ab.
