Cells are limited in size to maximize efficiency (accessing nutrients and getting rid of waste as well as decreasing the chances that information will become erred).
A cell with 2cm sides has a surface area of 2cm x 2cm x 6 = 24 cm^2
Volume would be 2cm x 2cm x 2cm = 8cm^3
Surface area : Volume = 24:8 or 3:1
A cell with a large volume will have more difficulty accessing nutrients and getting rid of waste quickly and transferring information that has no mistakes in it
Answer:
Part A - Dd
Part B - 50%
Part C - Option E
Part D - dY
Part E - 50%
Part F - 50%
Explanation:
Given,
Let the allele for dominant trait (wild type) be "D" and the allele for recessive ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTD) be "d"
A X-linked recessive gene affects male offspring in a family tree though a female remains a carrier until it mates with a male with the a recessive diseased allele.
Part A
Father's genotype would be Dd. Hence it will pass d gene (X diseased gene ) to her daughter.
Thus , Woman's genotype is Dd
Part B
Genotype of Normal man - DD
DD * Dd
DD, Dd, Dd, DD
One of the two males will have ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTD), an X-linked recessive disorder producing mental deterioration hence, the probability is 50%
Part C
Option E is correct
Only one of the female offspring will have ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTD), an X-linked recessive disorder which will be expressed if other allele is also X linked recessive.
Hence, The chance of being a carrier will be one out of two female offspring i.e 50% and and chance of having OTD is 0%
Part D
dY
Part E
dY * Dd
DY, dY, dD, dd
one out of the two female is diseased. Hence, the probability is 50%
Part F
50%
Answer:
It can form a variety of carbon skeletons and contain functional groups
Explanation:
<u>Carbon atom is important in biology because it can form a variety of carbon skeletons and contain functional groups</u>. These enable carbon to be able to bond with itself and a variety of other elements. Thus, carbon is able to be the major component of important biomolecules of life such as deoxyribonucleic acid, carbohydrate, proteins, and lipids.
DNA is present in all human cells, except the red blood cells, that is because <span>RBCs do not contain the organelle nucleus or any other DNA containing organelle.</span>
