The HEXA gene codes for a protein that breaks down and recycles toxic substances in our brain and spinal cord. Mutations in the

HEXA gene lead to Tay-Sachs disease. This is a disorder in which the level of toxic substances builds in the brain and spinal cord, leading to severe brain damage and eventually death.
In many patients with Tay-Sachs, an insertion of four base pairs is seen in the HEXA gene. In general terms, explain how this insertion impacts the protein that is produced.

11) In a typical energy pyramid about 10% of the available energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next. Consider an
crimeas [40]

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

In a typical energy pyramid the amount of energy that is being transferred is only 10% rest of the energy is lost in the form of heat.

The energy from the sun is converted in the form of chemical energy which is stored in the producers.

10 per cent of this energy is transferred to the next trophic level and rest of the energy is lost in the form of heat. This goes on, there is only a transfer of 10 % energy from the successive levels.

So, if the producers have 200 Kcal/m2/year energy the the primary consumers will have 10% of this energy which is equivalent to 20 Kcal/m2/year and then the secondary consumers will have 10 % of 20 Kcal/m2/year which is equivalent to 2 Kcal/m2/year.

Alja [10]

Answer:

Blue Eyes Are: Recessive

Explanation:

The brown eye form of the eye colour gene (or allele) is dominant, whereas the blue eye allele is recessive. If both parents have brown eyes yet carry the allele for blue eyes, a quarter of the children will have blue eyes, and three quarters will have brown eyes. I hope this helps :) Good luck on your assignment!!!

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Convergent evolution

Explanation:

Convergent evolution is a type of evolutionary change that occurs in which two species of organisms that do not share the same ancestral line evolve similar traits independently as a result of similarity in their environmental conditions that they both have to adapt to. Green algae and brown algae can be said to show convergent evolution as they appear similar but are not closely related, meaning they do not share the same ancestral origin
