Answer:

D. Aa

Explanation:

Given:

Jill (mother) is heterozygous for gene A --------- i.e Jill = Aa

Jack (father) who is homozygous recessive for gene A-------- i.e Jack = aa

Now if both cross and fertilization occurs, we have:

         A          a

a        Aa        aa

a        Aa        aa

The offsprings are (Aa, Aa, aa, aa)

Nondsijunction is the inability of homologous chromosomes to seperate properly during cell division. Now, we were told that this fertilization undergone nondisjunction in meiosis 1. Hence, both homologous chromosome move into the same daughter cells instead of different daughter cells because separation of homologous chromosome does not occur properly.

Therefore the result of these fertilization of a normal haploid sperm with an egg that had undergone nondisjunction in meiosis yields offspring with genotype Aa of their Mother (Jill).

Which statements describe freshwater sources? Check all that apply.

"Rainwater can replace or replenish freshwater sources" and "precipitation, such as rainwater, is a source of freshwater on Earth" statements describe freshwater sources

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rainwater a source of pure distilled water, evaporated by the sun. When it falls it comes in contact of air and land. when ground soaks the water it becomes mineral water. And it is safe for drinking.

All the freshwater sources are result of precipitation from the earth surface,in various form i.e rain,mist,snow.  Freshwater falling as rain have materials dissolved from atmosphere in it,sea and the land over which the clouds has travelled.

In general, a signal transmitted via phosphorylation of a series of proteins A) brings a conformational change to each protein.
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) requires phosphorylase activity.

Explanation:

Signals transmitted with the use of phosphorylation requires the presence and activity of an enzyme phosphorylase (also called Kinase) that can add phosphorus groups to proteins or other molecules in order for them to become messengers in the signaling pathway.

Heart muscle cells would tend to separate without ________
Hitman42 [59]
The answer is intercalated discs. They allow the heart muscle cells to function as one organ due to a phenomenon known as syncytium. This is where uninuclear cells fuse to form an apparent multinucleate cell. This way the heart muscle cells can contract in synch. Intercalated discs appear in the sarcomere's (of the muscle fibres) Z line.

In some species of Drosophila, there are genes on the Y chromosome that are not on the X chromosome. Imagine that a new allele a
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The Drosophila like the mammals possess X and Y chromosomes but as in males in which the XX is female and XY is male, the sex In Drosophila is not determined by the presence of Y chromosomes as a male determining factor are present on the autosomes.

However, the Y chromosome is important for males as they are involved in the formation of the sperms therefore the presence of Y is important. In the given question if the allele is present ion the Y chromosome which can reduce the size therefore the allele is passed on to the males only ans no females.

Thus, true is the correct answer.

the fly is female (Bridges 1921, 1925). Thus, XO Drosophila are sterile males. In flies, the Y chromosome is not involved in determining sex. Rather, it contains genes active in forming sperm in adults.

In the energy profile of a reaction, the species that exists at the maximum on the curve is called the __________.
Gnesinka [82]
It is called the transition state species. They are a bit of a hybrid, or a halfway point between the structure of the reactants' structures and products' structures. Bonds in the transition state can be partially formed and are represented by a dotted line.
