Answer: A genetic disorder in which an individual lacks an enzyme responsible for converting the amino acid phenylalanine into the amino acid tyrosine is called phenylketonuria (PKU) A trait that is determined by a gene that is found only on the X chromosome is said to be
Explanation:
Answer:
The mitochondria is the location in the cell where most of cellular respiration takes place, although a small amount of cellular respiration does take place in the cytoplasm. The mitochondria is often called the power house of the cell because it is involved with making energy for the cell.
Hydrogen bonds between nucleotides
Answer:
25% of the offsprings will be BBCC
Explanation:
This is a typical dihybrid cross involving two distinct genes. One coding for fur colour and the other for claw sharpness. The allele for brown fur (B) is dominant over the allele for black fur (b) in the first gene while the allele for sharp claws (C) is dominant over the allele for dull claws (c) in the second gene.
In a cross between parents with genotypes: BbCc x BBCC , each parent will produce four possible allelic combinations of gametes as follows:
BbCc: BC, Bc, bC, bc
BBCC: BC, BC, BC, BC
Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), 16 possible offsprings will be produced with four distinct genotypes:
BBCC (4)
BBCc (4)
BbCC (4)
BbCc (4)
According to the question, an offspring that is homozygous dominant for both traits will possess a genotype: BBCC
N.B: Homozygous dominant means contains same alleles for the dominant trait.
Hence, offsprings with genotype, BBCC, from this cross are expected to be 4 out of the 16 possible offsprings. Hence, the percentage is 4/16 × 100 = 25%.
Answer:
This is a solid substance that is composed of minerals. This describes the dynamic changes between sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous substances. This occurs are mid-ocean ridges where a new oceanic crust is formed and then slowly moves away from the ridge.
