Answer:

Carbohydrate digestion starts in the mouth and protein digestion starts in the stomach.

The DNA in a cell's nucleus encodes proteins that are eventually targeted to every membrane and compartment in the cell, as well
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

PFK: cytoplasm

insulin: ER--> Golgi--> outside cell

Explanation:

As described in the question, the enzyme phosphofructokinase (PFK) functions is a cells cytoplasm. Enzymes are proteins and proteins are made in the ribosomes of a cell. As ribosomes are present in the cytoplasm, hence PFK once made in the ribosomes will be released into the cytoplasm.

As for insulin, it will be made in the ribosomes. from there, it will move to the Endoplasmic Reticulum for packaging. Then to the Golgi complex for modifications and further packaging. Only after these stages, it will be ready to move out from where it is produces to areas where it has to be used.

Last week you were wondering what Jessica and Tom's babies might look like with respect to their eyebrows and earlobes (both Tom
mash [69]

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

The possible genotypes and phenotypes are:

  • EE or Ee: thick eyebrows
  • ee: thin eyebrows
  • FF or Ff: free earlobes
  • ff: attached earlobes

Tom and Jessica have thick eyebrows and free earlobes. Tom's mother has attached earlobes, so Tom must have inherited an <em>f</em> allele from her, and because he has free earlobes he must be heterozygous<em> Ff. </em>We assume Jessica is homozygous for free earlobes <em>FF</em>.

Tom's mother and Jessica's father have thin eyebrows, so they are both <em>ee</em> and therefore both Tom and Jessica must be heterozygous <em>Ee</em>.

From the above information, Tom has the genotype EeFf and Jessica is EeFF. If you do a Punnett Square of this cross, you'll get that the probability of having a child with free earlobes and thin eyebrows (eeF_) is 25%.

Explain how corn can be used as an example of Mendel's law of independent assortment.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Mendel's law of independent assortment states that the genes are separated and inherited independently of each other into the gametes.

The corn can be used to study the law if independent assortment as each kernel of the corn is its fruit. Thus, it is a result of sexual reproduction.

Single corn may contain 800-1000 kernels which may have different shape, texture, structure et cetera as result of independent assortment, that is, each kernel receives alleles of genes independent of each other.

For example, a gene responsible for the texture of kernel would be inherited independently of the gene responsible for the color of the kernel.
