Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
Let the disorder be represented by the allele a.
Since the disease is an autosomal recessive one, affected individuals will have the genotype aa and normal individuals will have the genotype Aa or AA.
Since the four adults are carriers, their genotypes would be Aa.
Aa x Aa
Progeny: AA 2Aa aa
Probability of being affected = 1/4
Probability of being a carrier = 1/2
Probability of not being affected = 3/4
(a) The chance that the child second child of Mary and Frank will have alkaptonuria = 1/2
(b) The chance that the third child of Sara and James will be free of the condition = 3/4
(c)
(d) If someone has no family history of the disorder, their genotype would be AA.
AA x aa
4 Aa
<em>The chance that a child with alkaptonuria will have an offspring with alkaptonuria if the child's mate has no family history </em>= 0
(e)
(f) <em>The chance that a child with alkaptonuria will have an offspring with alkaptonuria if the child's mate has no family history</em> = 0
The right answer is A.Transcription uses uracil.
The genes carried by the DNA will be encoded in another form: messenger RNA, during a process called "transcription".
The DNA and RNA molecules are chemically very close, but the second has an extra oxygen (in red on the right of the letters) on the sugars (riboses) that make up its nucleotides (the DNA actually contains deoxyribose). In addition, the thymine (T) of DNA is replaced by uracil (U) in RNA.
During the day, due to the presence of sunlight, the process of photosynthesis peaks over that of respiration. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide to make carbohydrates releasing oxygen as a byproduct. During the night, because there is no sunlight, the rate of photosynthesis drops. This, therefore, causes the rate of respiration to surpasses the rate of photosynthesis. In respiration, oxygen is consumed and carbon dioxide is released.
Human trials have indicated an inverse relationship between blood lead level and calcium intake. While milk isn’t an antidote to let’s say, lead poisoning, the dietary calcium inhibits the lead absorption. This sort of poisoning is incredibly dangerous to the systems of the human body, and the ingredients within the milk help to defend against it. The purpose of the milk is to dilute the ingested poison.
Answer:
(A) Bioaccumulation
Explanation:
When the concentration of certain substances in the bodies of the organisms of various trophic levels keeps on increasing as they pass through the food chain, the process is called bioaccumulation or biomagnification.
Most of the organic non-biodegradable pollutants/chemicals exhibit bioaccumulation. Being insoluble in water, these chemicals are accumulated in the fat tissues of the organisms.
As the predator feeds on the prey having a non-biodegradable chemical in its tissues, the chemical enters the body of the predator.
As these chemicals pass through the food chain, there is a gradual increase in their concentration stored in the living tissues of the organisms. Therefore, the top consumers exhibit maximum bioaccumulation of contaminants in a food chain.
