A man is heterozygous for sickle cell anemia and homozygous dominant for familial hypercholesterolemia. Knowing that these genes

are located on different chromosomes and using the information below, predict his possible sperm. Sickle Cell Anemia A=Normal hemoglobin a=Abnormal hemoglobin (Sickle Cell) B=Familial Hypercholesterolemia (abnormal LDL protein receptor) b=Normal LDL protein receptor)

Because of the law of independent assortment, alleles on different chromosomes sort independently of one another during the formation of sex cells. Because of the law of segregation, alleles of the same gene do not end up in the same sex cell during meiosis.

The answer <span>is AB and aB

<span>A man is heterozygous for sickle cell anemia: Aa
</span></span>A man is <span>homozygous dominant for familial hypercholesterolemia: BB

So, his genotype is AaBB. He will give only one allele of two for each gene.
He can have 2 different combinations in sperm cells:
- AB
- aB</span>

If one million kilocalories of energy are stored in producers in an ecosystem, how many kilocalories can be transferred to terti
Mashcka [7]
The answer is 1000 kilocarolies.  It is important to keep in mind that Energy is passed up the food chain from one trophic level to the next but a lot of it is lost along the way. Energy is passed up the food chain from one trophic level to the next. However, only about 10% of the total energy stored in organisms at one trophic level is actually transferred to organisms at the next trophic level. Therefore; if the producers have 1 million kilocarolies, then  the energy transferred to the primary consumer will be 100,000 kilocalories (10% of a million), and the energy transferred to the secondary consumer will be 10,000 kilocalories (10% of 100,000) and the energy to the tertiary consumer will be 1000 kilocarolies (10% of 10,000).

In the cannon-bard theory of emotion, the thalamus sends simultaneous messages to the _____.
Andreyy89
In  the  cannon  bard  theory  of   emotion,  the  thalamus  send  simultaneous  messages  to  the  cortex  and  autonomic  nervous  system. The   cannon  bard  theory  state  that  we  feel  emotion  and   experience  physiological  reaction   such  as  sweating, trembling and  muscle  tension simultaneously.  Emotion   and  bodily  change  do  not  share  a  cause  and  effect  relationship  rather  they   occur   simultaneously    following  stimulating  event.

which process( photosynthesis, cellular respiration, both) do algae preform when incubated in the light? in the dark?
otez555 [7]

Answer:

  • Algae preform both photosynthesis and cellular respiration when incubated in the light.
  • Algae preform only Calvin cycle of photosynthesis and cellular respiration when incubated in the dark.

Explanation:

Algae do perform photosynthesis and cellular respiration during light just like other plant specie. They use chlorophyll a or b as pigments to collect light energy and drive the process of photosynthesis.

We know that photosysnthesis is basically a two step process i.e light reactions and dark reactions (dark reaction is also called Calvin cycle). So, in dark algae only performs Calvin cycle and shuts off the light harvesting steps of photosynthesis. However, cellular respiration keeps going throughout the life of algae without being affected. We can say that algae share these characteristics with the green plants.

Hope it helps! :)
