The amount of enzyme activity in a cell that is homozygous for a mutant allele is 400 units. The amount of enzyme activity in a

cell homozygous for the wt allele is 200 units. The amount of enzyme activity in a heterozygote is 300 units. What type of allele is the mutant allele?

<h2>Hypomorphic allele</h2>

Explanation:

  • Hypomorphic Alleles : A change that reduces, however, doesn't dispense with a gene's usefulness is hypomorphic. A progressively extreme condition, amorphic transformation, dispenses with the gene's capacity.
  • The great analyses characterizing hypomorphic alleles go back to the 1930s. Herman Miller, who won a Nobel Prize for finding that radioactivity causes changes, considered the eyeshade of organic product flies. These flies typically have red eyes, yet freak assortments can have white or apricot-hued eyes. The allele liable for various natural product fly-eye hues is known as the white allele, with the contraction "w."

Which processes require oxygen? Check all that apply.
zysi [14]

This is a cellular respiration question, related to biology.

Some processes in our bodies require the use oxygen, others do not.

In this case, the conversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl co-enzyme A and the production of water in the electron transport chain do require oxygen.

If oxygen was not present for pyruvate, it would turn into lactic acid via fermentation. Water in the ETC is formed in the process when NADH and FADH2 are converted to molecular oxygen due to the electron transporters. The protons are then pumped and oxygen is reduced to form H2O.

1. Plants carry out chemical reactions that make sugars, which contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, from carbon dioxide (CO2) a
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Radioactive labeling is a procedure used to monitor the path followed by a chemical element within  a biological system to demonstrate the source.

Hypothesis:

The free oxygen produced during photosynthesis comes from water.

Procedure.

Single-celled algae were placed in four petri dishes containing carbon dioxide, glucose dissolved in  Water.

In each box the oxygen was radioactively marked.

1 petri dish with CO2 marked. Experimental groups

2 petri dish with H2O marked. Experimental groups

3 petri dish with Glucose marked. Experimental groups (control)

4 petri dish with CO2 + H2O + Glucose, all marked. (control).

Answer:

C. Removing this step decreases the amount of carbon in the air: This is correct, removing factories would decrease the emission of greenhouse gases, thus decreasing CO2 in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

When we look at the picture we can see that the line that goes from G to C, goes from a factory to the atmosphere. As we know factories release a great number of elements into the atmosphere being one of them, carbon dioxide. Therefore taking into consideration we can proceed to analyze the following statements.

A. Removing this step prevents photosynthesis in the next step: This is not true industry increases carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, even if they don't exist there is enough CO2 for plants to perform photosynthesis.

B.Removing this step increases the amount of carbon in the soil: This is not true as factories release carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, not the soil.

C. Removing this step decreases the amount of carbon in the air: This is correct, removing factories would decrease the emission of greenhouse gases, thus decreasing CO2 in the atmosphere.

D. Removing this step increases carbon storage in plants: This is incorrect the carbon storage in plants is cording to their necessities independently of the abundance in CO2, in the atmosphere.

Why is photosynthesis so important on earth?
lyudmila [28]
Photosynthesis<span> is plants taking in water, carbon dioxide, and light to make sugar and oxygen. This is </span>important<span> because all living things need oxygen to survive. All producers make oxygen and sugar for the secondary consumers and then the carnivores eat animals that eat the plants.
Hope this helps</span>
