Assume that plant height is determined by a pair of alleles at each of two loci (A and a, B and b) that are additive in their ef

fects. Further assume that each allele represented by an uppercase letter contributes 6 feet to height and that each allele represented by a lowercase letter contributes 2 foot to height. If a plant with genotype AaBB is crossed to a plant with genotype aaBb, what heights are expected in the progeny

Answer:

16 feet, 20 feet, and 12 feet

Explanation:

Uppercase allele = 6 feet

Lowercase allele = 2 feet

First, let us look at the outcome of the cross between AaBB and aaBb.

      AaBB     x     aaBb

Progeny:

4 AaBB = 6+2+6+6 = 20 feet

4 aaBB = 2+2+6+6 = 16 feet

4 AaBb = 6+2+6+2 = 16 feet

4 aaBb = 2+2+6+2 = 12 feet

<em>The heights expected in the progeny are 16 feet, 20 feet, and 12 feet.</em>

kramer
Answer:
            A tear in right rib muscles has caused the muscles to spasm it would prevent inspiration.

Reason:

               As it is cleared that during inspiration, the intercostal muscles contract, the ribs move upward. the diaphragm flattens and move downward. As a result the chest cavity become open and air move into it. However if the muscles of rib tears then rib will not raise. As a result there will be difficulty in inspiration/

Enolase is an enzyme that catalyzes one reaction in glycolysis in all organisms that carry out this process. The amino acid sequ
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

a) The response indicates that a pH below or above this range will most likely cause enolase to denature/change its shape and be less efficient or unable to catalyze the reaction.

b)The response indicates that the appropriate negative control is to measure the reaction rate (at the varying substrate concentrations) without any enzyme present.

c)The response indicated that the enolase has a more stable/functional/correct/normal protein structure at the higher temperature of 55°C than at 37°C because the enzyme is from an organism that is adapted to growth at 55°C.

Explanation:

Enolase catalyzes the conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate during both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.In bacteria, enolases are highly conserved enzymes and commonly exist as homodimers.

The temperature optimum for enolase catalysis was 80°C, close to the measured thermal stability of the protein which was determined to be 75°C, while the pH optimum for enzyme activity was 6.5. The specific activities of purified enolase determined at 25 and 80°C were 147 and 300 U mg−1 of protein, respectively. Km values for the 2-phosphoglycerate/phosphoenolpyruvate reaction determined at 25 and 80°C were 0.16 and 0.03 mM, respectively. The Km values for Mg2+ binding at these temperatures were 2.5 and 1.9 mM, respectively.

Enolase-1 from Chloroflexus aurantiacus (EnoCa), a thermophilic green non-sulfur bacterium that grows photosynthetically under anaerobic conditions. The biochemical and structural properties of enolase from C. aurantiacus are consistent with this being thermally adapted.

what types of minerals are good conductors of electricity, are strong and can be formed into various shaped and sized products w
Sidana [21]

Minerals which are good conductors of electricity are described below.

Explanation:

  • metals tend to be highly efficient conductors of heat and electricity. The vast majority of elements on the periodic table are metals, and most of these fall into one of five families: alkali metals; alkaline earth metals; the very large transition metals family; and the inner transition metal families, known as the lanthanides and actinides.
  • Metals are lustrous or shiny in appearance, and malleable or ductile, meaning that they can be molded into different shapes without breaking. Despite their ductility, metals are extremely durable and have high melting and boiling points. They are excellent conductors of heat and electricity, and tend to form positive ions by losing electrons.

What is the difference in structure of the antennae and antennules?
kap26 [50]
<span>The difference in structure of the antennae and antennules is their size or length. Antennae are long sensory organs while antennules are short or small sensory organs. These organs are connected to the head of an insect, crab, or other animal and they are used for taste, balance, smell, touch, air motion and vibration</span>
