Answer:
This question lacks options, the options are:
A. Only recessive alleles are inherited from homozygous parents.
B. Dominant alleles grow weaker as they are passed from parents to offspring.
C. Only the parent with a dominant allele can pass that allele to offspring in sexual reproduction.
D. A heterozygous parent has an equal chance of passing either the dominant allele or the recessive allele to offspring.
The answer is D
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in dogs. The allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s). This means that allele 'S' will always mask the phenotypic expression of allele 's' in a heterozygous state.
According to the question, two heterozygous dogs (Ss) were crossed to produce 6 shortt-haired offsprings and 2 long-haired offsprings. An heterozygous organism is that which contains two different alleles for a particular gene i.e. a combination of dominant and recessive alleles.
Based on this, during meiosis or gamete formation, an heterozygous dog (Ss) will produce gametes with the short hair allele (S) and long hair allele (s) in equal proportion i.e. 50-50. When the two gametes containing the recessive alleles (s) produced by each heterozygous parent fuses, an offspring with a recessive phenotype (long hair, ss) is produced.
Hence, a long-hair
phenotype can appear in the offspring of two short-haired dogs because a heterozygous parent has equal chance of passing either the dominant or recessive allele to the offspring.
Answer:
4. According to what is observed in the diagram, the maltose (substrate) binds to the maltase (enzyme) to obtain glucose molecules (product), in a process of <u>hydrolysis</u> of the maltose.
5. Three factors that can affect intestinal maltose activity - slowing it down or stopping it - are temperature, pH and substrate depletion.
Explanation:
4. Enzymes, such as maltase, have the function of making a reaction faster and decreasing the activation energy. <u>Maltase is responsible for breaking down a maltose molecule, a dimer, into two glucose monomers</u>, which is a hydrolysis reaction of the bonds that hold glucose molecules together.
5. There are several factors that can cause the decrease or cessation of the activity of an enzyme. <u>Enzymes are activated when substrate is available and work best under ideal temperature and pH conditions</u>. When there are alterations of these factors, the enzyme will reduce or stop the reaction in which it intervenes.
- <em><u>pH</u></em><em>: when the pH increases or decreases it produces a decrease in the speed of reaction that catalyzes an enzyme. Very high or low pH levels can denature the enzyme and make the expected reaction not occur.
</em>
- <em><u>Temperature</u></em><em>: like pH, changes in temperature can slow or stop maltase activity.
</em>
- <em><u>Substrate availability</u></em><em>: It is a fact that when the specific substrate of an enzyme becomes depleted, the rate of reaction slows down, stopping when no substrate is available.</em>
