Document Summary

Couple hundred couple thousand (cid:1005)(cid:1004) to (cid:1005)(cid:1004)(cid:1004)"s of millions. Macromolecules: a macromolecule is a very large molecule commonly created by polymerization of smaller subunits. The term is applied to the three conventional biopolymers (nucleic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates/polysaccharides) The individual constituent molecules of polymeric macromolecules are called monomers: macromolecules are greatly responsible for the complex shape, function, regulation of cells. The shape, size and physical and chemical properties of macromolecules allow them to have specific functions. Shapes that complement each other allows for bonding: positive and negative charges will interact with each other. Sugars and polysaccharides: repeat to make polysaccharides, energy storage, structural functions (cell walls, cell signaling (cell-cell binding, blood groups different sugars define different blood types. The bond that is created between sugars is called a. Glycosidic bond, which is from a condensation reaction: provides energy, lubricates joints for movement, etc.

Sickle cell anemia and albinism are both recessive traits inhumans. Imagine that a couple, already pregnant with twins, hasjust learned that they are both heterozygous for both of thesetraits. As the couple's genetic counselor, the couple asks you thefollowing questions about how their carrier status will affecttheir offspring.

If the couple has fraternal twins, what is the probability thatboth children will be unaffected by both conditions?

If the couple has fraternal twins, what is the probability thatboth of the couple's children will have both sickle cell anemia andalbinism?

3.What is the probability that one of the fraternal twins is acarrier of either, but not both, of the conditions?
(Hint: You will need to use both the product law and the sum law toanswer this question.)

If the couple has fraternal twins, what is the probability ofhaving two phenotypically normal children, one being a carrier ofonly the sickle cell anemia recessive allele, and the other being acarrier of only the recessive allele for albinism?
(Hint: You will need to use both the product law and the sum law toanswer this question.)

Please answer the following 10 questions below about humangenetics.
Achondroplasia (dwarfism) is an autosomal dominant disorder. Adwarf mother and a dwarf father have 4 children. The first 2 aredwarfs, and the last 2 are of normal height.

1) What are the chances of a non-dwarf child from this union?

2) What is the motherâs genotype?

3) What is the fatherâs genotype?

Color-blindness is a sex-linked recessive disorder. A heterozygousfemale mates with a male with a colorblind male.

4) What are the chances of this couple having a child who iscolor-blind?

5) What are the chances of this couple having a girl who iscolor-blind?

6) What are the chances of this couple having a boy who iscolor-blind?

The ability to roll your tongue and having freckles are bothautosomal dominant traits. A woman who cannot roll her tongue, andis heterozygous for having freckles mates with a man who ishomozygous dominant for both traits.

7) What are the chances of this couple having a child who ishomozygous dominant for both traits?

8) Heterozygous for both traits?

9) Homozygous recessive for both traits?

10) Heterozygous for one of the 2 traits?

DESCRIBE the changes in forest structure and composition caused by illegal logging and their effects on groups of avian species

1. This an ecology question, therefore you NEED to describe all the changes in forest structure and composition!

2. Answer the question FULLY (every detail matter!!)

3. List your sources (I need to be able to look at your sources)

4. This is a multi-part question, therefore this CANNOT be answered in a couple sentences

Thank you for your help.
