Answer:
Pepsinogen is produced by chief cells and is activated by hydrochloric acid secreted by parietal cells.
Explanation:
Pepsinogen is a proenzyme produced in the chief cells (that are located in the stomach lining) that, when gets activated, is transformed into pepsin - a peptidase with the function to degrade proteins into amino acids.
The reason why pepsinogen is released inactive is that it would break down all of the cell's proteins because of its proteolytic nature. For this reason, it is released as a proenzyme and gets activated when reaches the acidic environment provided by the hydrochloric acid secreted by the parietal cells, also in the stomach lining.
Q = recessive allele frequency = 0.3, and thus in H-W equilibrium there are ONLY two alleles, q (recessive) and
p (dominant). Therefore all of the p and q present for this gene in a population must account for 100% of this gene's alleles. And 100% = 1.00.
So p, the dominant allele frequency, must be equal to 1 - q --> p = 1 - q
p = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7.
Since heterozygotes are a combination of the p and q, we must again look at the frequencies of each genotype: p + q = 1, then (p+q)^2 = 1^2
So multiplying out (p+q)(p+q) = 1, we get: p^2+2pq+q^2 = 1 (all genotypes), where p^2 = frequency of homozygous dominant individuals, 2pq = frequency of heterozygous individuals, and q^2 = frequency of homozygous recessive individuals.
Therefore if the population is in H-W equilibrium, then the expected frequency of heterozygous individuals = 2pq = 2(0.7)(0.3)
2pq = 2(0.21) = 0.42, or 42% of the population.
Hope that helps you to understand how to solve population genetics problems!
