For a given gene in a population, there are two alleles, A and a. The frequency of the dominant homozygote, AA, is 0.50; the frequency of the heterozygote, Aa, is 0.20; and the frequency of the recessive homozygote, aa, is 0.30. What is the frequency of the recessive a allele?
Answer:0.548
Explanation:
In a population the genotype frequency =p2+2pq+q2=1
gene frequency =p+q=1
Where p is the homozygous allele(A)
q is the recessive allele(a)
Pq represent the heterozygote allele
Given that p2=0.50
2pq=0.20
q2=0.30
To get q=√0.30
q=0.548
The gene frequency for homozgous reccessive allele a is 0.548
The first stage of cellular respiration glycolysis is an anaerobic process. During glycolysis glucose is converted to two molecules of pyruvic acid. How is glycolysis kept functioning in cellular respiration?
Answer:
Oxidation of NADH by electron transport chain ensures a continuous supply of NAD+ for glycolysis.
Explanation:
To continue the process of glycolysis, cells must have a continuous supply of NAD+ which is required during one of the reactions of the payoff phase of glycolysis. Two molecules of NADH are formed per glucose molecule during glycolysis. The NADH gives its electrons to the terminal electron acceptors (O2) via electron transport chain. This ensures that the process of glycolysis is continued in cells to breakdown the glucose into pyruvate.
Glycolysis is the first step in the breakdown of glucose in cellular respiration, providing energy to the cell. It is an anaerobic process that takes place in the cytoplasm. Glycolysis generates two molecules of pyruvate, two ATP, and two NADH molecules.
Explanation:Glycolysis is the first pathway used in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy in cellular respiration. It is an anaerobic process that takes place in the cytoplasm of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Glycolysis starts with glucose and ends with two molecules of pyruvate, generating a net gain of two ATP and two NADH molecules.
If oxygen is available, the pyruvate molecules can be further processed through aerobic respiration in the mitochondria. If oxygen is not available, fermentation can occur to convert pyruvate into other substances. Glycolysis is essential for providing energy to the cell, especially in situations where oxygen is limited.

At 5 pm, there were 20 bacterial cells in a test tube. Knowing that the generation time is 6 minutes, how many bacteria do you expect there will be in the test tube at 5:30 pm? Bacteria reproduce by binary fission, in which one bacterium becomes two bacteria.
The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:
120 Cells 640 Cells 1280 Cells 56 Cells.Answer:
640 Cells
Explanation:
The bacterial cell divides by the process of binary fission which divides a parent bacterial cell into two daughter cells.
In the given condition, the generation time or the average time between the two generations is 6 minutes. When he analyzed the population at 5 pm, he found 20 bacterial cells.
At 5.30 pm, the bacterial cell will have 640 cells as
1. After every 6 minute the population doubles
2. The minute's difference between 5 pm to 5.30 pm is 30 minutes.
3. Since 1 generation time-6 min therefore 30 minutes will have = 30/ 6 = 5 generation.
4. The bacterial cell will be calculated using formula
[tex]2^{number of generations}[/tex] x an initial number of bacteria in a population, therefore, [tex]2^{5}[/tex] x 20 = 640 bacterial cells.
Thus, 640 Cells is the correct answer.

The DNA segment that carries information for building one protein or polypeptide chain is called a(n) ________.
Answer:
The correct answer is a gene
Explanation:
The DNA segment that carries information for coding one protein or polypeptide is called a gene. According to one gene-one polypeptide hypothesis, each gene is responsible for making a single chain of the polypeptide.
Originally it was said that one gene codes for one enzyme but later it was found that some gene also codes for non-enzyme proteins and single polypeptide chains. So after this research, the theory was modified and one gene-one polypeptide theory came. Therefore the right answer is gene.

Neostigmine is an indirect-acting anticholinesterase drug that is used to treat urinary retention by: Multiple Choice1. increasing the release of the antidiuretic hormone.2. stimulating the hypothalamic thirst centers.3. inhibiting the release of the antidiuretic hormone.4. stimulating bladder contractions.
Answer:
Option D, stimulating bladder contractions.
Explanation:
Neostigmine has a amine structure due to which it can cross the blood brain but once it gets absorbed it is secreted rapidly.
Disabled Urinary retention is a scenario in which the bladder never gets full. Neostigmine leads to accumulation of acetylcholine which triggers concentration based contractions in the urinary bladder. The muscarinic receptor on the urinary bladder contracts the bladder and the contraction gets stronger with passage of time
Hence, option D is correct
The major function of the cell wall is to Choose one: A. serve as a barrier to prevent entry of molecules into the cytoplasm. B. constrain bacterial cell growth. C. serve as a rigid barrier to prevent cell lysis. D. allow for bacterial motility.
Answer:
C. serve as a rigid barrier to prevent cell lysis
Explanation:
The cell wall of bacteria is mainly made up of peptidoglycan and of plant is made up of cellulose. It is present outside the cell membrane. The cell wall is a rigid layer that provides structural and mechanical support to the cell and helps in defining the shape of the cell.
It protects the cell from mechanical stress and prevents the cell from osmotic lysis or cell bursting. The cell wall of bacteria is common to target for many antibiotics because the animal cell does not contain a cell walls. Therefore the correct answer is C.
For the numbered site below, select the option that places them in the correct order.
1)The ribosome binds to the m RNA and uses tRNAs to translate mRNA into the corresponding amino acid polypeptide sequence.
2)The spliceosome removes introns
3)The primary structure of the polypeptide chain undergoes hierarchical foldings to form the tertiary structure.
4)RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region of a gene and initiates transcription
Answer:
The correct order is:
4, 2, 1, 3
Explanation:
The list of options in this question depicts gene expression which involves transcription and translation processes.
Option 4 is simply describing the initial step of transcription where the enzyme RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region of a gene on the DNA and signals the initiation of transcription. RNA polymerase synthesizes a complementary strand of mRNA using the DNA it binds to as template.
Option 2 is a post-transcriptional process called SPLICING, which is the removal of the non-coding regions of a gene called INTRONS by enzymes called SPLICEOSOMES. This occurs in eukaryotic cell before the mRNA leaves the nucleus for the cytoplasm where translation will take place.
Option 1 signals the commencement of translation where a complex of ribosomal RNA and other proteins called RIBOSOME attaches to the mRNA molecule and uses the anticodons present in the tRNA to read the mRNA codons in order to carry the corresponding amino acid to the ribosome. The anticodons of the tRNA are complementary to the mRNA codon. At the end of translation, an amino acid sequence called polypeptide (future protein) will be released.
Option 3 tells us what happens after the translation process. The amino acids in the newly released protein are arranged in such a way that they make the protein a primary structure. The amino acids undergo certain modifications like folding that changesges the protein's structure from primary to tertiary.
Answer: 4213
The entire process is protein synthesis for gene expression.
The process of transcription begins when the encoded protein information from the DNA is transferred to the mRNA.It begins when enzyme RNA polymerase bind with promoter region ( the point where the process of transcription begins) of a gene and initiates transcription.,the point where the process of transcription begins. The DNA double helix unwinds, the mRNA align and complementary paring of the bases occurs.
This is followed with the removal of noncoding part(introns) of the mRNA transcripts prior to translation where;The spliceosome removes introns. This is essential because only the encoded part which contain the needed protein to be transcribed is selected.
The mRNA is released, and leave the nucleus through the nuclear pore to the cytoplasm.In the cytoplasm the ribosomes with its two sub-units large and small serve as templates for the mRNA with its anti codons and pairing with the tRNA codons in a complementary pairing for translation of amino acids to polypeptide sequence.
In the process of translation polypeptide chains of amino acids are formed as the complimentary bases paired up to synthesize protein. Different levels of proteins are formed as the primary structure of the polypeptide chain undergoes hierarchical foldings to form the tertiary structure.

Which structure receives information from the hair cells of the inner ear and conveys that information to the brain's auditory system?
Answer:
Cochlea
Explanation:
This is comprised of fluid filled spiral canals separated by a movable membrane. These allow transmission of sound vibrations to reach the sensory hair cells. The cochlea is coiled and long to increase the surface area for attachment of sensory hair cells.
The structure that receives information from the hair cells of the inner ear and conveys it to the brain's auditory system is the cochlea.
Explanation:The structure that receives information from the hair cells of the inner ear and conveys that information to the brain's auditory system is the cochlea. When sound waves cause fluid waves in the cochlea, the bending of hair cells stimulates the auditory nerve, which carries the auditory information to the brain.
Auditory perception is not a one-way street. The brain can also send signals back to the cochlea, resulting in the modification of the outer hair cell length. This alters the hair cells' response to certain sound frequencies, demonstrating our auditory system's sophisticated modulation capabilities.

N 9 Viruses use the host's machinery to make copies of themselves. However, some human viruses require a type of replication that humans do not normally do. For example, humans normally do not have the ability to convert RNA into DNA. How can these types of viruses infect humans, when human cells cannot perform a particular role that the virus requires?
Answer:
This is because the Viron has in its genome a specialized code for synthesising any missed enzyme for replication that is lacking in the host cell.
An example is the replication of the human DNA cells by the Immunodeficiency virus(HIV) . Human cells only have enzymes for copying DNA templates, and lacks the enzyme to convert the HIV RNA genome to human DNA.However these viruses have in its genome; code for synthesising its own RNA polymerase enzymes that copies or transcribed the human DNA to HIV RNA.
This ability of the viral cell to code for the host's enzyme has a therapeutic effect. Drugs can be targeted at the viral polymerase enzymes to reduce the replication and therefore toxicity in the host cells.

During which phase would penicillin, an antibiotic that inhibits cell-wall synthesis, be most effective?
Answer:
Explanation:
I would need help to
Penicillin, an antibiotic that inhibits cell-wall synthesis, would be most effective during the bacterial cell's growth and division phase, which is known as the "log" or "exponential" phase.
During this phase, bacteria actively replicate and grow, leading to the synthesis of new cell wall material to accommodate the increasing cell size. Penicillin targets the enzymes responsible for building the bacterial cell wall by inhibiting peptidoglycan cross-linking.
In the log phase, bacteria are most vulnerable to antibiotics that disrupt cell wall synthesis because they are actively producing and modifying their cell walls. When penicillin is introduced during this phase, it interferes with the construction of the cell wall, causing the bacteria to weaken and eventually burst due to the osmotic pressure imbalance. Other phases, like the stationary phase or the lag phase, have reduced metabolic activity and may exhibit antibiotic resistance mechanisms, making penicillin less effective. Therefore, targeting the log phase ensures the highest efficacy in combating bacterial infections with penicillin.

ATP is required for the contraction of a sarcomere and thus a muscle fiber. At death, the production of ATP ceases and the ATP stores in a cell are quickly used up. The cell's membranes become permeable to calcium and calcium enters the cytosol of the cell and attaches to troponin, removing tropomyosin from the actin active sites. Myosin attaches to the actin active sites and the muscle contracts for several cycles until the ATP stores are depleted. The muscles are then unable to relax. This postmortem contraction of the muscles is called rigor mortis. Rigor mortis is ultimately caused by a lack of ATP that would, if present, (1) allow calcium to be pumped out of the cytosol and into the sarcoplasmic reticulum and (2) __________.

A human ova that contains 23 chromosomes joins a human sperm that contains 23 chromosomes, resulting in a zygote that has 47 chromosomes. The process that creates this is called______________
Answer:
fertilization.
Explanation:
During fertilization, male and female gametes are fused to form a zygote. The male gametes in humans are called sperms. Sperms are formed by meiosis in sperm mother cells and have a haploid number of chromosomes (n=23). Similarly, the female gamete in humans is an egg which is a product of meiosis and is haploid (n=23). The fusion of these two haploid cells occurs in the oviduct of females in humans and form the diploid zygote with 2n=46. This process is called fertilization.
The process, which creates 47 chromosomes in the given question is known as non-disjunction.
Non-disjunctionIt is a phenomenon in which the pair of homologous chromosomes has failed to separate at the time of cell differentiation, such that both the chromosomes go to one of the daughter cell and none to the other one.
It results in errors in chromosome number like trisomy 21 also known as Down syndrome.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).
Cell 1, a white blood cell, contributes to the body’s defense against injury and infection through phagocytosis (engulfing and destroying foreign materials) and secretions of chemicals to trigger inflammation. They however do not directly differentiate to form red blood cells.
Explanation:The activity that cell 1, commonly known as a white blood cell or leukocyte, often undertakes to contribute to the body's defense against injury and infection is phagocytosis. This important function involves engulfing and destroying foreign materials, such as pathogens. It's an integral part of the body's immune response. These cells also participate in the secretion of chemicals that trigger inflammation. This helps to isolate the affected area and prevent the spread of pathogens while attracting more white blood cells to the area to fight off the infection. Differentiation to form red blood cells is not a direct function of leukocyte cells but of stem cells in the bone marrow.

The larger value obtained when more glucose carriers were present corresponds to an increase in the rate of glucose transport. Explain why the rate increased. How well did the results compare with your prediction?
The rate of glucose transport increased due to the presence of more glucose carriers, which facilitated the transport of glucose into the cell. The results of the experiment should align with the prediction of increased transport rate.
Explanation:The rate of glucose transport increased when more glucose carriers were present because there were more transport proteins available to facilitate the movement of glucose across the cell membrane. These transport proteins, known as glucose carriers or glucose transporters, bind to glucose molecules and transport them into the cell.
By increasing the number of glucose carriers, the rate of glucose transport can be enhanced because there are more carriers available to transport glucose. This increases the efficiency of glucose uptake by the cell.
The results of the experiment should compare well with the prediction that an increase in the number of glucose carriers would lead to an increase in the rate of glucose transport. If more carriers were present, there would be a greater capacity for glucose transport, resulting in a higher rate of transport.
