A woman has a rare eyelid abnormality called ptosis, which makes it impossible for her to open her eyes all the way. The condition is caused by a dominant allele. The woman's father had ptosis but her mother was normal. Her father's mother also had normal eyelids.a. What are the genotypes of the woman, her father, and her mother? b. What proportion of the woman's children will have ptosis if she marries a man with normal eyelids?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: If you keep in mind that a child gets one gene from the father, andanother from the mother, all should be fine.

a) starting with the father: since he is infected, he then has atleast one P. Knowing his mother wasn't, then her genotype was pp.Since he must have gotten one of her genes, then the father'sgenotype is Pp.
Since her mother had normal eyes, she must have had pp, because ifshe had even one P, she would have ptosis -since the allele isdominant-.
Since the woman is infected, and her mother is pp, then for thesame reasoning as her father, her genotype is Pp.

b) so this is a cross between Pp X pp. Draw your punnets square.There's a 50% chance that her children will have pp genotype thusno ptosis. 50% of her children will have ptosis with genotype Pp.
Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

The woman with ptosis and her father have the genotype Pp, while her mother has pp. If she marries a man with normal eyelids (pp), there is a 50% chance that their children will inherit the dominant P allele and have ptosis.

Explanation:

The subject here is centered around genetics, specifically, a dominant genetic disorder called ptosis. The woman with ptosis would have a genotype of Pp, because she inherited one ptosis allele (P, for dominant) from her father and one normal allele (p, for recessive) from her mother. Hence, her father's genotype was also Pp, and her mother's was pp.

If the woman marries a man with normal eyelids (genotype pp), each child would have a 0.5 (or 50%) probability of inheriting the dominant P allele from the mother and thus, having ptosis. This is because each child will get a p allele from the father (since he can provide only that), and either a P or p allele from the mother with the probabilities being 50% for each. Hence, for these offspring, their potential genotypes can be Pp (ptosis) or pp (normal).

You are recording action potentials in a nerve cell in a petri dish in the laboratory. The only difference between your set up in the lab and the normal condition in the body is that the cell is now surrounded by a solution that has a lower concentration of sodium ions than normal. What are you most likely to observe? Group of answer choices The action potentials peak at a higher voltage than in the body There is no difference in the voltage at which the action potentials peak because all action potentials always reach the same voltage The action potentials peak at a lower voltage than in the body

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is: The action potentials peak at a higher voltage than in the body.

Explanation:

Nerve cells in the human body have a very low sodium concentration inside them, while the liquid that surrounds them is rich in this particular ion. When sodium channels in the neuron's plasma membrane are opened, this big difference in sodium concentration -also called gradient- produces a big influx of sodium ions. This rapid entering of Na+ generates a change in the voltage of the cell, because sodium is positively-charged, meaning that the inside of the neuron will become less negative - this is commonly called depolarization of the membrane. Action potentials are generated because of the sudden spike in voltage, but for them to occur, there's a certain voltage that needs to be achieved, so not every depolarization will produce an action potential.

The fact that the cell in the lab is surrounded by a lower concentration of sodium means that the influx of Na+ ions will be lower, because the gradient won't be as big, but also means that the action potential will peak at a higher voltage because the resting membrane potential wasn't as negative to begin with.

The mitochondria a. Are the sites of oxidative phosphorylation.
b. Are a prominent structure in prokaryotic cells.
c. Possess their own DNA.
d. Are sites of ATP production.

Answers

Answer:

Option (a), (c) and (d).

Explanation:

The prokaryotes lacks the nucleus and the membrane bound organelles. Eukaryotes have well defined nucleus and the endomembrane  system is present in eukaryotes.

The main site of the oxidative phosphorylation is the mitochondria in case of eukaryotes. The mitochondria are known as semi autonomous organelle as it contains its genetic material. As the oxidative phosphorylation occurs in mitochondria, this is the main site of ATP production. The mitochondria is a membrane bound organelle and absent in case of prokaryotes.

Thus, the correct answer is option  (a), (c) and (d).

Answer:

The correct answer are

a. Are the sites of oxidative phosphorylation.

c. Possess their own DNA and

d. Are sites of ATP production.

Explanation:

Mitochondria are double membranous structures that are found in eukaryotes. These are structure present in almost all the eukaryotes. The process of aerobic respiration takes place in mitochondria.

Mitochondria have their own DNA which is smaller than nuclear DNA and are circular in shape like bacterial DNA.It is called the powerhouse of the cell because ATP synthesis takes place in mitochondria which provide energy to the cell.

The ATP is produced through the process of oxidative phosphorylation which occurs in the matrix and mitochondrial membrane. In oxidative phosphorylation, ATP is produced by energy released from the oxidation of NADH and FADH₂ molecules.

Therefore the correct answer is a,c, and d.
