Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
Let the disorder be represented by the allele a.
Since the disease is an autosomal recessive one, affected individuals will have the genotype aa and normal individuals will have the genotype Aa or AA.
Since the four adults are carriers, their genotypes would be Aa.
Aa x Aa
Progeny: AA 2Aa aa
Probability of being affected = 1/4
Probability of being a carrier = 1/2
Probability of not being affected = 3/4
(a) The chance that the child second child of Mary and Frank will have alkaptonuria = 1/2
(b) The chance that the third child of Sara and James will be free of the condition = 3/4
(c)
(d) If someone has no family history of the disorder, their genotype would be AA.
AA x aa
4 Aa
<em>The chance that a child with alkaptonuria will have an offspring with alkaptonuria if the child's mate has no family history </em>= 0
(e)
(f) <em>The chance that a child with alkaptonuria will have an offspring with alkaptonuria if the child's mate has no family history</em> = 0
Dominant gene. <span>A dominant gene produces a dominant phenotype in individuals who have one copy of the allele, and it could come from one parent </span>
Answer:
false
Explanation:
The parathyroid gland refers to the four small endocrine glands located in the neck region behind the thyroid. It secretes the parathyroid hormone or parathormone which regulates the calcium levels in our bodies. It comprises two types of cells which are:
a. The oxyphil cells appear at the onset of puberty and they have no known functions. They appear pink or orange when stained with hematoxylin and eosin stain.
b. The chief cells are more abundant compared to the oxyphil cells and stain dark purple by the action of hematoxylin and eosin stain. Their major function is to produce parathyroid hormone which regulates the amount of calcium in the body.
Answer:
The correct option is : a. Identification of the cell
Explanation:
The cell membrane, also called plasma membrane, is a semi-permeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of the cell, that protects and separates the interior of the cells from the external environment.
The carbohydrate layer of the cell membrane is known as the glycocalyx. In eukaryotes, <u>the carbohydrates present on the surface of the cell membrane play a important role in the cell-cell recognition and share information.</u>
