Answer:
DNA ligase
Explanation:
<em>The biochemist must have left out DNA ligase enzyme.</em>
<u>The DNA ligase enzyme is able to catalyze the formation of phosphodiester bonds and as such, capable of joining strands of DNA together to form a single strand.</u>
The numerous DNA segments of a few nucleotides long observed by the biochemist must have been the replicated product of the lagging DNA strand. The lagging strand is replicated discontinuously in short strands because the DNA polymerase enzyme can only elongate primers in 5' to 3' direction. The short segments are known as Okazaki segments and are usually joined together to form a whole strand by the DNA ligase enzyme.
Hence, the missing component is the DNA ligase.
Answer:
6,25%
Explanation:
Considering that the couple has a trait of sickle cell anemia, we know that both are heterozygous for the disease (Aa) and therefore can have children with the following genotypes:
Parents: Aa X Aa
Children: AA(A x A), Aa(A x a), Aa (a x A) and aa(a x a)
Knowing that sickle cell anemia only occurs in homozygous individuals, the probability for children to have the disease according to each crossing is:
A x A = 1/4 = 25%
A x a = 1/4 = 25%
a x A = 1/4 = 25%
a x a = 1/4 = 25%
The probability of forming each homozygous child (aa) is 1/4 or 25%. Since they are two children, the probability of both having sickle cell anemia is calculated by multiplying the probability of each, so:
1/4 × 1/4 = 1/16 = 0.0625 = 6.25%
It is concluded that the probability of a heterozygous couple for sickle cell anemia to have two children with the disease is 6.25%.
