The correct option is (D) Nucleotide variability and average heterozygosity

The higher the proportion of loci that are "fixed" in a population, the lower are that population's nucleotide variability and average heterozygosity.

<h3>What does it indicate when a gene in a population is fixed?</h3>
  • In population genetics, fixation is the transformation of a gene pool from one in which at least two alleles of a certain gene exist in a given population to one in which only one allele persists.
  • Any allele must eventually be lost entirely from the population or fixed (permanently established at 100% frequency in the population) in the absence of mutation or the heterozygote advantage.
  • Selection coefficients and random variations in allelic proportions determine whether a gene will ultimately be lost or fixed. Fixation may relate to a specific nucleotide location in the DNA chain or a gene in general (locus).

The primary function of DNA polymerase is to:
Debora [2.8K]

Answer: Option A

The primary function of DNA polymerase is to add nucleotides to the growing daughter strands.

Explanation:

DNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesis DNA and its main function is to make DNA from nucleotides which is the building block of DNA. It is essential for DNA replication and work in pairs by creating identical DNA strands from the original DNA molecule. DNA copies are created by pairing the nucleotides to each bases present in the DNA molecule.The bases are thymine, cytostine,guanine, and adenine, the pairing occur with any of the above combinations forming two pairs respectively.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The correct answer is : C .It will decrease ATP production because fewer protons will be able flow down through ATP synthase.

Explanation:

  • Oxidative Phosphorylation is a process which involves two steps:  
  1. Transport of electrons from the reduced compounds like NADH (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogen) and FADH₂ (Flavin adenine dinucleotide dihydrogen) through the electron transport complexes, located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, to oxygen for the generation of water molecules.
  2. Synthesis of ATP or adenosine triphosphate from ADP or adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate by an enzyme called ATP synthase which is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. This enzyme harnesses energy by carrying protons from the inter-membrane space into the mitochondrial matrix and in the process produces ATP.
  • Oxidative phosphorylation takes place in the mitochondria, especially involving the inter membrane space, inner membrane and mitochondrial matrix
  • During the transport of electrons through the protein complexes (I, II, III, IV) of the electron transport chain a proton gradient is generated across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
  • The proton gradient is such that the concentration of protons is more in the inter-membrane space and less in the matrix of the mitochondria.
  • This proton gradient provides the energy to the ATP synthase for the synthesis of ATP.
  • Dinitrophenol is responsible for making the inner mitochondrial membrane permeable to protons. As a result protons can directly diffuse through the inner mitochondrial membrane from the inter-membrane space into the mitochondrial matrix equalising the concentration of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This causes distortion in the proton gradient.  Hence, protons are no longer available for the ATP synthase to operate and synthesise ATP.
