Active Transport is the answer

Answer:

The correct answer is option B, that is, active transport.

Explanation:

In order to move a substance against an electrochemical gradient or concentration gradient, a cell needs energy. Thus, for this a cell follows active transport mechanisms, for this, energy is expended in the form of ATP in order to sustain the appropriate concentrations of molecules and ions in the living cells.  

The active transport refers to the phenomenon in which the movement of molecules or ions takes place through a cell membrane from the region of lower concentration to a region of a higher concentration, facilitated by the enzymes and the process requires energy in the form of ATP.

A color-blind (X-linked recessive) human with Klinefelter syndrome has parents both of whom have normal color vision. 4a. From w
sineoko [7]

The extra X chromosome is received from mother.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Klinefelter's syndrome is the condition of chromosomal aberration where the person has an extra X chromosome. This means the genotype of the person is 44+XXY and the total chromosome number is 47. This condition is achieved due to inappropriate meiotic division and one of the sperm or ovum has the an extra X chromosome.

Here both the parents are normal in terms of colour vision. So the father cannot have the gene of colour blindness because if it was present, then father would have been colour blind because he has only one X chromosome per cell. So its present in mother who is heterozygous in terms of colour blind gene. So the extra X chromosome also came from her which made the presence of two defective X chromosomes in the offspring and made it colour blind.

A recessive allele causes phenylketonuria (PKU) when homozygote. If the frequency of the recessive allele is 0.05 in the populat
Radda [10]

Answer:

0.095

Explanation:

Phenylkentonuria is a disease caused by a recessive allele.

The frequency of the recessive allele + the frequency of the dominant allele equals 1.

The frequency of the recessive allele is q = 0.05

The frequency of the dominant allele then is p = 1  - q = 0.95

If people mate randomly, the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype will be p², the frequency of the heterozygous genotype will be 2pq and the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype will be q² .

2pq=2× 0.05 × 0.95

2pq=0.095

The heterozygote frequency in the population is 0.095
