The independent assortment of genes is a principle of Mendel and of genetics. Since humans are diploid organisms (they have 2 copies of their genetic information), we have that each gamete carries one of the two available alleles for each feature. These gametes are created in equal proportions.
We have that both parents are heterozygous for a feature, lets say H. Thus, their genotype is Hh. Hence, the child will get with probability 50%=1/2 H from the father and 50%=1/2 h from the father; same from the mother. By doing a Punnett square, we get that there is 1/4 chance that the child is HH, 1/2 chance that it is Hh and 1/4 that is hh. Since the disease is recessive (so both alleles are needed), we have that the chance that the kid has the disease is 1/4.
Yes it will help you with c and d
Answer:
<u><em>This is because the enzymes might work best at higher temperature than 37 degrees Celsius. Increase in temperature will increase the catalysis of the reaction.</em></u>
Explanation:
<em>When the temperature is increased, the molecules possess greater kinetic energy. This will allow more substrate and enzymes to collide. As a result, there will be more enzymes taking place in the reaction which will cause the rate of the reaction to increase.</em>
<em></em>
However, if the temperature goes too high, then the shape of the active site of the enzymes will get changed. The enzyme will deactivate and the reaction will stop.
