Glycogen is highly branched. what advantage, if any, does this provide to an animal as compared to purely linear glucose polymers? the α(1→6) glycosidic linkages at glycogen branch points are more easily hydrolyzed than the α(1→4) glycosidic linkages in linear amylose. many more glucose monomers can be stored in a branched polymer. the number of available terminal glucose monomers is higher for glycogen, thus making glucose production more rapid. the branched polymer is more soluble in water, and thus easier to digest. none of the above

What best explains whether bromine (br) or neon (ne) is more likely to form a covalent bond? bromine forms covalent bonds because it has seven valence electrons, but neon has eight valence electrons and already fulfills the octet rule. bromine forms covalent bonds because it has many electron shells, but neon has only two electron shells and is tightly bound to its electrons. neon forms covalent bonds because it can share its valence electrons, but bromine has seven valence electrons and can gain only one more electron. neon forms covalent bonds because it has only two electron shells, but bromine has many electron shells and will lose electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule.

Suppose a particular species of tulip plant has three alleles for the gene that codes for flower color. the cr allele produces red tulips, the cp allele produces purple tulips, and the cw allele produces white tulips. cr is dominant over cp and cw, and cp is dominant over cw. for each of the following crosses, determine the expected ratio of offspring for each flower color. cr cp x cp cw cr cw x cp cw 1 red: 1 purple : 0 white, 1 red: 2 purple: 1 white, 2 red: 1 purple 1 white, 1 red: 3 purple : 0 white, 2 red: 0 purple : 2 white, 2 red: 2 purple : 0 white
