Color in squash is controlled by epistatic interactions in which color is recessive to no color. At the first locus white squash

(W) is dominant to colored squash (w). At the second locus yellow (Y) is dominant to green (y). What is the phenotype of a squash with the genotype wwYy?

Answer:

A squash with the genotype wwYy will have yellow color.

Explanation:

In epistatic interactions, the combinations of alleles in one genes affects the expression of another gene.

In squash, if the individual's genotype for the first locus is <em>WW</em> or <em>Ww </em>the color will be white, regardless of the information in the second locus.

If the first locus has a <em>ww </em>genotype, then squash will have color and we need to look at the second locus: <em>YY</em> or <em>Yy </em>determines yellow color, and <em>yy</em> green color.

A squash with the genotype <em>wwYy </em>will have color (because it's ww) and yellow (because it's Yy).

The possible inheritance pattern might be that the colors are governed by just one gene with multiple alleles. There could be simple dominance and incomplete dominance factors as well given the 5 flower color characteristics.

Answer:

Dr. Siddiqui asks you what you think is wrong with Angela. What is your diagnosis? (Note: do not simplysay hyper- or hypothyroidism; that portion of the question was already answered above. Explain in detailwhy/how you came up with the diagnosis. Include the evidence that led you to this diagnosis.

Judging from Angela’s results, she has Serum thyroxine, Thyrotropin, and SerumTriiodothyronine hormones to be missing. This will cause Hypothyroidism results due to failure of the thyroid gland to produce sufficient hormones.

Angela does not have a goiter at the moment. If her condition continues unchecked will she develop one?Why or why not? Make sure you include information from Angela’s blood work results to back up yourresponse.

Technically, a goiter can develop in a gland that is developing high level of hormone (hyperthyroidism), and low level of hormone (hypothyroidism), or the certain amount of hormone (euthyroidism) needed.

In Angela’s situation, her TSH concentration and thyroid hormones are at a reduced level. This will cause, the pituitary gland in the brain to produce a signal to the thyroid. Thus, her condition should be well observed all through the period till her conditions return to the way it ought to be normally.

In mitochondria, an electron transport chain pumps protons from the matrix into the intermembrane space, whereas in chloroplasts
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Thylakoid space to the stroma

Explanation:

Electron transport chain occurs in both the mitochondria and the chloroplast which is involved in the process of ATP formation in the cell. The enzyme which catalyzes the reaction of the ATP formation is ATP synthase. The ATP synthase is composed of two subunits the CF₀ and CF₁.

The CF₁ is involved in the conversion of ADP to ATP due to the rotation of the rotor in the CF₁ unit which derives its energy from the flow of protons.

In chloroplast during the electron transport chain, the proton gets accumulated in the thylakoid lumen. These accumulated protons flow back from the thylakoid lumen towards the stroma of the chloroplast through CF₀  subunit of ATP synthase.  

Thus, the selected option is correct.
