<span>The organelle responsible for the synthesis of fatty acids and steroid hormones is called smooth endoplasmic Reticulum. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum, or smooth ER, is an organelle found in both animal cells and plant cells. It's main function is to produce lipids (fatty acids) and steroid hormones.Smooth ER also makes or distributes products according to its location. In muscle cells, it releases calcium ions because they are required for muscle contraction. In cells of the endocrine system, which is responsible for regulating hormones, smooth ER makes steroid hormones.</span>

Without digestive enzymes, you would likely die from starvation waiting for your food to break down into small molecules. Why do
Serjik [45]

Answer: Enzymes lower the activation energy found in food molecules

Explanation:

Food substances like yam, potatoes, egg etc are all made of chemical elements bounded to one another by chemical bonds such as hydrogen bonds, covalent bonds etc

During digestion, these bonds must be broken for carbohydrates to yield glucose, protein to yield amino acids.

Hence, added enzymes lowers the strength of this bonds i.e activation energy, by placing them into their active sites, which is equipped to cleave specific bonds

Thus, digestive reactions are quicker in the presence of enzymes than otherwise.

Two autosomal genes, J and K, are 60 map units apart. You perform the following testcross: J K / j k x j k / j k. At what freque
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

  • J K / j k = 20%
  • j k / j k = 20%
  • J k / j k = 30%
  • j K / j k = 30%                

Explanation:

To calculate the recombination frequency, we have to know that 1% of recombinations = 1 map unit = 1cm. And that the maximum recombination frequency is always 50%.

The map unit is the distance between the pair of genes for which every 100 meiotic products, one of them results in a recombinant one.

So, en the exposed example:

  • J and K are autosomal genes
  • J and K are separated by 60 M.U.
  • 60 M.U. means that there is 60% of recombination.

Cross)             J K / j k                    x                  j k / j k

Gametes) JK  Parental                                     jk, jk, jk, jk

                jk   Parental                                  

                Jk   Recombinant                          

                 jK   Recombinant

One map unit equals 1% of recombination frequency. This means that every 100 meiotic products, one of them is a recombinant one.

1 M.U. -------------- 1% recombination

60 M.U. ------------ 60% recombination

                              30% Jk  +  30% jK

100 M.U. - 60 M.U. = 40 M.U.

40M.U.--------------40 % Parental (Not recombinant)

                            20% JK   +   20% jk

Punnet Square)           JK       jk      Jk      jK

                          jk     JK/jk   jk/jk   Jk/jk   jK/jk

J K / j k = 20%

j k / j k = 20%

J k / j k = 30%

j K / j k = 30%
