<h2>Monosaccharides</h2>
Explanation:
Monosaccharides are the simplest form of sugars found in innumerable common food items such as honey, cane sugar, fruits
Monosaccharides are divided into two groups depending on the presence of functional groups,if aldehyde group is present then it is known aldoses and if ketone group is present then it is known as ketoses
On the basis of carbon atoms they can be classified as: triose(3),tetrose(4),pentose(5),hexose(6) and so on
a. erythrose : tetrose ketose-It is not correctly paired because erythrose is a tetrose monosaccharide which has one aldehyde group hence is an aldose
b. dihydroxyacetone : triose ketose-It is correctly paired;it is an aldose-ketose pair
c. erythrulose : tetrose aldose-It is not correctly paired because erythrulose is a tetrose monosaccharide having ketone as functional group hence is a ketose
d. fructose : hexose ketose-it is correctly paired;It is an anomer because in D-fructose carbonyl group is at C-2 hence C-2 is the anomeric carbon
e. ribose : hexose aldose-it is not correctly paired because ribose is an aldo pentose not hexose;ribose is an aldo-ketose pair
f. glyceraldehyde : triose aldose-it is correctly paired;an aldo group
Explanation:
Water is the most abundant substance in the body. An average healthy adult is 45 to 75 percent water. Percent of water declines with age. Males have more body water than females.
Answer:
The phenomenon of unequal separation in meiosis is called nondisjunction. If nondisjunction causes a missing chromosome in a haploid gamete, the diploid zygote it forms with another gamete willcontain only one copy of that chromosome from the other parent, a condition known as monosomy.
