Answer:
Parotid glands are the largest salivary gland. Each gland is approximately 6 cm long and 3-4 cm wide and can weigh up to 30 grams. They are located within each of our cheeks. In our oral cavity they are responsible for the secretion of about 20% of saliva. This saliva is known as serous i.e. more liquid and fluid. It helps in the first phase of the digestion of food, facilitate mastication "chewing". These glands secrete protein-rich fluid which is a suspension of alpha-amylase enzyme.
Answer:
1. The parents genotypes could have been BO and AO
2. wire-hair
Explanation:
There are four possible blood types which are type A, B, AB, O. blood group is the classification of blood based on the presence or the absence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of the red blood cells. They have hereditary basis and also rely on a series of alternative genes sometimes used in solving dispute of parental heritage. With the four possible blood groups, there are six possible genotypes and these are:
Blood type possible genotypes
Type A AA, AO
Type B BB, BO
Type AB AB
Type O OO
Thus, for parents with blood type B and A to give birth to a child with blood type O, it means their genotype could have been both BO and AO for them to be able to produce a child with OO. a cross between these two could give rise to OO.
Question 2
Wire hair is dominant (S) to smooth (s), thus wire hair could be in the homozygous (SS) and heterozygous form (Ss) and the smooth hair can only be expressed in the homozygous recessive form (ss).
thus, in a cross between homozygous wire haired and smooth haired, we will have:
homozygous wire haired homozygous smooth haired
P gen SS x ss
F1 gen. Ss
phenotype: wire haired
Answer:
A) The products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular
respiration.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose, so that cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide.
Answer:
Robertsonian translocation
The main difference between aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration is that aerobic using oxygen in the reaction, while anaerobic does not.
Even though both aerobic and anaerobic respiration releases energy, but their reactants and other products are completely different.
For example in human, in aerobic respiration, oxygen and glucose reacts to give out carbon dioxide and water; while in anaerobic respiration, which usually happens during exercise when oxygen is not enough, the muscle cells uses only glucose to produce energy and lactic acid.
Therefore, the main difference is where aerobic uses oxygen, and anaerobic don’t.
