Answer:
a: 1/4
b: 1/2
c: 1/4
d: 0
Explanation:
Since the wife had a color-blind father (X^cY), she should be a carrier for the disease. Her genotype would be "X^cX". Fathers do not transmit the X-linked disorders to their sons, so the genotype of the husband is "XY".
a. The probability that the couple's first child will be a normal son: 1/4
b. The probability that the couple's first child will be a normal daughter: 1/2
c. The probability that the couple's first child will be a color-blind son: 1/4
d. The probability that the couple's first child will be a color-blind daughter: Zero
Answer:
Scientists divide the Earth into three layers based on composition: the crust, the mantle, and the core. These divisions are based on the compounds that make up each layer.
When it increases the pH goes down
Answer:
Only one of the three statement is true; and that is,
(ii.) Different metabolic end products result from the two types of fermentation
Explanation:
Fermentation is the process by which organic molecules such as glucose are broken down into smaller molecules to extract energy as ATP in the absence of oxygen.
Fermentation is carried out by many organisms including man.
In man, fermentation occurs in very active skeletal muscles such as in an athlete running. It involves the reduction of pyruvate produced from the glycolytic pathway to lactate in the muscles. The net yield of ATP from glucose breakdown to produce lactate is 2 ATP molecules.
In microorganisms such as yeast, the fermentation product of py ruvate derived from glycolysis is ethanol and carbon dioxide, CO₂. The net ATP yield in fermentation of glucose in yeast cells is also 2 ATP molecules.
From the options provided in the questions, the correct option is:
Only one of the three statement is true and that is that, ii. Different metabolic end products result from the two types of fermentation.
