a.
To determine: The pedigree chart for the whole family.
Introduction. The human consists of 23 pairs of chromosomes, condensed form of chromatids which divide during cell division into daughter cells. The human has 22 autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. The sex chromosomes determine the sex in an individual based on the type of sex chromosomes that are present in the fusing gametes.
b.
To determine: The agreement of the pedigree with the hypothesis that Rh+ is dominant allele and Rh- is recessive.
Introduction. The pedigree chart helps to depict the complete history of the pattern of inheritance of genetic disease from one generation to another generation. The inheritable genetic disease is either autosomal dominant or recessive or sex-linked based on which the probability of disease in a future generation can be predicted.
c.
To determine: The mechanism of the transmission of elliptocytosis.
Introduction. The dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele. Therefore the dominant allele is expressed in homozygous and heterozygous genotype while the recessive
d.
To determine: The presence of the genes of same chromosome that govern E and Rh phenotypes.
Introduction. Recombination is the process that is exclusive to the meiotic division as it allows the exchange of genetic material between the non-homologous chromosomes. The recombination process is responsible for the shuffling of the characters and producing a zygote that is different from both the parents but have the chromosomes from both the parents.

What cross will result in all heterozygous offspring?arrow_forward1.Steroids like testosterone and estrogen are nonpolar and large (~18 carbons). Steroids diffuse through membranes without transporters. Compare and contrast the remaining substances and circle the three substances that can diffuse through a membrane the fastest, without a transporter. Put a square around the other substance that can also diffuse through a membrane (1000x slower but also without a transporter).

Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below. Note that carriers are not indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele.

Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. 18 carbons fatty acids 12 carbons 9 glycerol A. Glycerol is broken down to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, a glycolysis intermediate via the following pathway shown in the figure below. Notice this process costs one ATP but generates one FADH2. Continue generating ATP with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate using the standard pathway and aerobic respiration. glycerol glycerol-3- phosphate…arrow_forward
