The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has been discovered to be the cause of AIDS.

AIDS or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). HIV is a retrovirus which contains RNA as the genetic material.

HIV infection can be transmitted through:-

  • sexual contact with an infected individual,
  • transfusion of contaminated blood samples,
  • sharing infected needles e.g. in the case of drug addicts who take the drug intravenously,
  • infected pregnant woman to the fetus through placenta.

AIDS adversely affects the immune system of an infected individual. ELISA or enzyme linked immunosorbent assay test is used largely for diagnosing AIDS.

There is a gene that causes people to have crumbly earwax. This gene is expressed as a complete dominant: Individuals who are ho
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

0.2

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq  + q² = 1

where,

p = frequency of dominant allele

q = frequency of recessive allele

p² = frequency of dominant homozygous genotype

2pq = frequency of heterozygous genotype

q² =frequency of recessive homozygous genotype

Here,

total people = 100

crumbly earwax = 64

p² = 64 / 100 = 0.64

p = √0.64 = 0.8

Frequency of the c allele = q

q = 1-p

= 1-0.8 = 0.2

The diploid number of chromosomes in the mustard plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, is 10. Knowing this, answer the following question
lukranit [14]

Answer:

10 chromosomes/sister chromatids

Explanation:

Prophase is the first stage of cell division (mitosis). Prior to the cell entering the actual division stage, it undergoes a phase where it prepares its content and most importantly undergo the duplication of its genetic material (DNA). This DNA are found as chromosomes. It undergoes replication of its DNA in the S-phase of interphase stage.

Since Arabidopsis thaliana has 10 chromosomes, and each chromosome holds one DNA molecule, 10 molecules of DNA will be present in the mustard plant's genome. These 10 molecules of DNA will be replicated on another copy of chromosome which is identical to the template. This chromosomes are called SISTER chromatids i.e. replicated chromosome. Each sister chromatids are held together at the centromere and are considered one individual chromosome until they separate during anaphase stage.

Hence, at the Prophase stage, before separation, each sister chromatid (replicated chromosome) is considered as one chromosome. Thus, in the mustard plant with 10 chromosomes, it will possess 10 sister chromatids or chromosomes at the Prophase stage.

N.B: When sister chromatids separate during anaphase stage, they will be regarded as individual chromosomes.

Of which of the following list,choose the function of proteins in living cells
svet-max [94.6K]

Of the list shown in the image, the function of proteins in living cells are: they transport oxygen in the blood of vertebrates, they play a key role in moving materials within cells, they help the body to recognize and destroy foreign microbes and cancer cells, they catalize chemical reactions.

<h3>What are proteins?</h3>

Proteins are macromolecules made up of linear chains of amino acids that are synthesized by ribosomes using mRNA molecules as templates. they have different functions since they are present in enzymes, hormones, transport proteins and also as a structural part.

Therefore, we can confirm that of the list shown in the image, the function of proteins in living cells are: they transport oxygen in the blood of vertebrates, they play a key role in moving materials within cells, they help the body to recognize and destroy foreign microbes and cancer cells, they catalize chemical reactions.
