In the small intestine, where are fatty acids and monoglycerides absorbed?
Inessa [10]

Answer:B

Explanation:when fat are ingested,it has to be emulsified and broken down into monoglycerides,fatty acids.these molecules have a polar hydrophilic end and a non polar hydrophobic end .the fatty acid and monoglycerides that enter the cells of the mucosa are formed back into large tryglycerides molecules ,which then forms chylomicros, which are water soluble.they then pass into the lacteal vessels from where there are Transported to meet the body's needs

Pedigrees are used to help geneticists understand how traits are inherited between generations. The Romanovs, a Russian royal fa
inysia [295]

Answer:

Waldemar carried the recessive allele.

Explanation:

The carrier is the individual that has the affected allele or mutation but does not express the trait, or might express it in different levels. Although, as the person carries the mutation, she or he might transmit the genetic mutation associated with a disease to the progeny.  In general, these diseases are inherited as recessive traits.

So, in the exposed example we know that:

  • hemophilia is a sex-linked disorder
  • hemophilia is determined by a recessive allele on the X chromosome.
  • Irene is a carrier.
  • Her husband is not a carrier.
  • Her children Waldemar and Henry have hemophilia.

If Irene is a carrier, this means that she is heterozygous and that her genotype is X⁺X⁻ (Being the symbol + the dominant allele, and - the recessive one for that expresses the trait)

The fact that Irene´s husband is not a carrier means that his genotype is X⁺Y

Their boys Waldemar and Henry have hemophilia, so both their genotypes are X⁻Y

The best evidence to prove that Irene was heterozygous for hemophilia is that Alice carried the recessive allele.

  • Alice is Irene´s Mother, and she is a carrier as well. Irene´s father, Louis, is not a carrier, so she could have inherited a dominant allele from her father and a recessive allele from her mother, X⁺X⁻, or she could have inherited two dominant alleles from both her parents X⁺X⁺. This is not proof enough of Irene being heterozygous.
  • The fact that Alexandra, Irene´s sister, was also a carrier does not say anything about Irene´s genotype, because they could both share the same genotype or not. This is not proof of Irene being heterozygous.
  • Frederick (her brother) was hemophilic.  He received a recessive allele from Alice, but this does not say anything about Irene´s genotype.  
  • The fact that Waldemar (her son) was hemophilic, is the best evidence to prove that Irene was heterozygous for hemophilia. Walderman received the Y chromosome from his father and an X chromosome from his mother. The X chromosome that he received from his mother carried the recessive allele for the trait, and this is why he had hemophilia. This means that there is no best evidence for Irene´s genotype than her son´s genotype.

A competent bacterial strain with genes a, b, and c is transformed by a donor bacterial fragment. Cotransformation frequencies f
mina [271]

Answer:

a) Genes b and c are farthest apart.

Explanation:

Transformation occurs when a competent bacteria cell takes up genetic material from the environment. Usually a donor cell donates its gene fragment  which is then incorporated into the chromosome or plasmid of recipient bacterial cell.

Cotransformation occurs when two genes are taken up together by the recipient. The closer the genes lie to each other, more are the chances of them being taken up together. Contransformation frequency will be higher if two genes are close to each other. Here, cotransformation frequencies between three genes are given. Amongst them, the lowest frequency is 0.0064% which is present between gene b and c. Hence, gene b and c are the farthest apart.
