In horses, the allele for straight hair (H) is dominant, and the allele for curly hair (h) is recessive. A horse breeder mates a

homozygous doninant mother with a heterozygous male. What is the chance that the offspring will have straight hair?

Answer: The correct answer is -

The chance that the offspring will have straight hair is 100%

Explanation:

As per the given information in the question, straight hair (H) is a dominant trait over curly hair (h) which is a recessive trait.

Dominant trait masks the expression of recessive trait.

Straight hair can have two genotypes that are HH and Hh, whereas recessive trait that is curly hair will only be expressed when present in 'hh' genotype (Homozygous recessive).

Genotype of parents are-

Mother- HH (homozygous dominant)

Father - Hh (heterozygous dominant).

When they are crossed, they will result into following offspring-

HH X Hh

=HH, Hh, HH, Hh

This indicates that all the offspring will be produced with straight hairs.

Thus, there is 100% chance of getting offspring with straight hairs.

It would be 75% because that is 3/4, the chances of dominant offspring.

Carbon dioxide is a ___ of cellular respiration, which occurs in the mitochondria.
MrRissso [65]

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is a<u> product </u>of cellular respiration.

During respiration, the breakdown of glucose undergoes several steps in order to produce ATP, namely in glycolysis, the Kreb's cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.

overall: C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≈38 ATP

Further Explanation:

In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm).

Oxidative phosphorylation describes a process in which the NADH and FADH2 made in previous steps of respiration process give up electrons in the electron transport chain these are converted it to their previous forms, NADH+ and FAD. Electrons continue to move down the chain the energy they release is used in pumping protons out of the matrix of the mitochondria.

This forms a gradient where there is a differential in the number of protons on either side of the membrane the protons flow or re-enter the matrix through the enzyme ATP synthase, which makes the energy storage molecules of ATP from the reduction of ADP. At the end of the electron transport, three molecules of oxygen accept electrons and protons to form molecules of water...

  • Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules. (2 ATP are utilized for a net ATP of 2)
  • The Citric acid or Kreb's cycle: in the mitochondrial matrix- 6 molecules of CO2 are produced by combining oxygen and the carbon within pyruvate, 2 ATP oxygen molecules, 8 NADH and 2 FADH2.
  • The electron transport chain, ETC: in the inner mitochondrial membrane, 34 ATP, electrons combine with H+ split from 10 NADH, 4 FADH2, renewing the number of electron acceptors and 3 oxygen; this forms 6 H2O, 10 NAD+, 4 FAD.
