Galactosemia is a metabolic disorder characterized by the inability to metabolize the sugar galactose. People with galactosemia

suffer from liver, kidney, and brain damage among other symptoms. A gene mutation underlying galactosemia was identified by sequencing the genome of a person with galactosemia. What additional evidence would support the hypothesis that the mutation in the candidate gene causes the disease

Answer:

Genetic mapping for unequivocal identification of the potentially causative mutation  

Explanation:

Galactosemia is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT) gene, which encodes an enzyme involved in the metabolism of galactose. Gene mapping is a technique widely used in genetics to identify the position of one locus a chromosome by using molecular markers to estimate genetic distances. Genetic mapping provides useful evidence in order to identify when a disease that is transmitted from parent to offspring can be associated with one or more genes and then determine which gene/s is/are responsible for this condition.

GrogVix [38]
<h2>When too walk your dog you are using energy from the sunlight to power this activity</h2>

Explanation:

The ultimate source of energy in the ecosystem is the sun. When we take our dog for a walk, we are utilizing energy stored in our body that we obtained food. We must have obtained that from either plants or animals. The animal in turn must have obtained its food from plant. Plants are the organisms in the food chain who can convert the energy from the sun into the chemical energy. So, we can say that when we walk our dog we use energy from the sunlight to power this activity.

A forest was converted into a national park. This process required constructing roads and highways to make it accessible for peo
Aloiza [94]

<u>Answer</u>:

<u>Question 1.</u> 1.fragmentation  The roads act as barriers which cannot/or will not be crossed by many forest dwelling species. They are either physical or psychological barriers for animals. The presence of humans and cars further increases this effect. Thus, the original forest habitat becomes fragmented into smaller areas with smaller populations.

<u>Question 1.</u> 2.find an unrelated mate

As the forest becomes fragmented, the original area and population of a species is divided into smaller units. Thus, for the individuals belonging to such a diminished population, the chances of finding an unrelated mate will decrease rapidly with time. This will lead to inbreeding and a loss of genetic diversity.

Skin color in a certain species of fish is inherited by a single gene with four different alleles. How many different types of g
k0ka [10]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

According to Mendel's law of purity of gametes, each gamete contains single allele for a gene. The alleles of a gene segregate during gamete formation and each gamete has one allele for a gene irrespective of the total number of alleles for a gene.  

If the gene for skin color in a fish species has four alleles, an individuals fish would have only two alleles which in turn would segregate during gamete formation.

Since there are four different alleles of the gene (let's assume a,b,c, and d), total possible gametes produced by this organism will be = 4. A gamete can have one of the total 4 alleles making total 4 types of the gametes each with a or b or c or d allele.

Bacteria may be killed during cooking, but may leave behind ______ that will later grow and produce more bacteria.
Aliun [14]
The answer is SPORES.

Some bacteria, take for example clostridium can be killed with heat but still leave their spores.

They are heat-resistant spores that may survive cooking and later grow and produce large numbers of cells if the storage temperature is appropriate for their growth.
