) Name the 3 polymers of carbohydrates and describe the structure and function of each of them.

The correct answer is - starch, glycogen, and cellulose.

Explanation:

Polysaccharides are the name of the polymers of carbohydrates that have long chains of monosaccharides connected together. Carbohydrates like starch, glycogen, cellulose, are long polymers of monosaccharides.

Starch produced by plants and is a long-term storage form of sugar. Starch is also the major source of food and is made of two major polysaccharides amylose, linear polysaccharide of α-1,4-linked d-glucopyranose with a few branches of α-1,6 linkages, amylopectin, amylopectin possesses a branched structure with α1–4 as well as α1–6 glycosidic linkages.

Glycogen is a polymer of glucose residue with α-1,4 glycosidic bonds and after every 10 residues, there is branches off via α-1,6 glycosidic linkages. It is the second storage form of energy.

Cellulose is the structural polymer that is made up of unbranched chains of glucose molecules linked via beta 1-4 glycosidic bonds every second glucose is inverted in this polysaccharide.

All the 10 offsprings have recessive smooth coats because all the progeny are formed by recessive r allele and resulted is smooth coat. It was because one of the parents was heterozygous.

Explanation:

Rough coat R is dominant over the allele for smooth coat r

Heterozygous guinea pig Rr is crossed with homozygous recessive guinea pig rr

So from the Punette square

      r     r

R  Rr    Rr

r   rr    rr

There are chances of occurrence of 50 % each of heterozygous rough and dominant recessive smooth coats.

From the result obtained in actual, all the offspring have smooth coats because all of these offsprings have receive recessive allele from their parent and have become homozygous recessive.
