12. Given the human pedigree to the right, is the trait indicated by
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Darkened shapes are recessive

Explanation:

In the pedigree shown, we can see that 2 parents that are unshaded shapes have 2 children that are shaded shapes. This would be impossible if shaded shapes were dominant and unshaded shapes were recessive. This is because parents that have a recessive trait have 2 of the same alleles. So if 2 parents that both have a recessive trait have a child, the child will definitely have that trait. But we can see that this is not the case, the parents have 2 offspring that have different phenotype from the parents. This must mean the parents are heterozygous, meaning that they both have 2 alleles that are different. The dominant allele masks the recessive allele, so the dominant allele is expressed. In this case, the children inherited 2 recessive alleles, 1 from each parent, making them have a different phenotype from the parents.

Mary marries an unaffected man, justin, whose paternal uncle has galactosemia. determine the genotypes for justin's family.
vitfil [10]
1. Galactosemia is a disease that will only be expressed when a person is<span><span><span> homozygotic recessive for that trait. It's the same as saying it </span> has</span> 2 recessive alleles.

Dominant allele-</span><span> G
recessive allele- g
</span>
Homozygotic dominant:  GG <span><span>(doesn't express the disease)
</span>Heterozygotic : Gg (doesn't express the disease)
Homozygotic recessive: gg (expresses it)</span>

2.
-Mary has this genotype: G_ . This means it can be GG or Gg
-The exercise already says that justin's mother is GG (<span>Homozygotic dominant)
</span>- If his mother is GG, one of these G's is going to be passed to Justin. So, his genotype is either GG or Gg. Since we are not sure we write as: G_.
Justin's genotype: G_

3.
-
Justin's uncle has galactosemia so his genotype is: gg

-
If the uncle was able to receive two recessive alleles it means the mother had one to pass, and so did the father. However, in the diagram, it's not pointed out that they have a disease so it only leaves one possible genotype: Gg. Justin's grandparents are both Gg.

4. The last person to analyze is Justin's father.
If we crossed the grandparents (Gg x Gg) we could obtain these genotypes: GG, Gg, gg.
Justin's father doesn't express the trait, so it's not gg. That leaves us with either GG or Gg. Since we can't know for sure, onece again we write as G_
Justin's father: G_

QUESTION 40
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is motion.

Explanation:

Lipids are the important constituents of plasma membrane. For example phospholipid,glycolipid,splingolipid,cholesterol builds most of the structural framework of the cell membrane.

Lipids plays an important role during cell signaling For example the phosphotidy inositol 4,5 bisphosphate one of important component of  the inner leaflet of the the plasma membrane undergo hydrolysis to form Diacylglycerol(DAG) and inositol triphosphate(IP3).Both IP3 and DAG act as second messenger.

Lipid act as an insulator of myelein sheath that helps in the saltatory conduction of nerve impulse across the axon of unmyelinated nerve fibre.

 Lipid does not involve in motion

What changes were most likely caused by a shift in earth's continents?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (Fig. 7.14). Recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. It is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. Both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. The upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

Each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. Earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. The term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. Most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the Pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. Other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the Great Rift lakes in eastern Africa and the rising of the Himalayan Mountain range. The motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

<p><strong>Fig 7.15.</strong> Diagram of the motion of plates</p>

Collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

Subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (Fig. 7.15)

Spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (Fig. 7.15)

Transform faulting: when two plates slide past each othe
