What was the effect of thyroxine injections on the hypophysectomized rat's bmr? how does the bmr in this case compare with the n

ormal rat's bmr? was the dose of thyroxine in the syringe too large, too small, or justright?

Thyroxine is a hormone that is  secreted by the thyroid gland to the blood stream. BMR is the basal metabolic rate that is affected by the levels of thyroxine hormone in the system. Hypophysectomy is the removal of the pituitary gland from an organism, in this case the rats. BMR rate of the rat seemed to increase with the injection of thyroxine however the BMR was still lower than the BMR of a normal rat with the thyroid gland  and the dose was too low.

Which part of an enzyme molecule binds to its associated substrate?
anzhelika [568]
The part of the enzyme molecule that binds to its associated substrate is ACTIVE SITE.
The active site contains the catalytic groups which are amino acids which promote the formation and the break down of bonds. By breaking and forming new bonds, the enzyme substrate interaction brings about the formation of the transition state.

In a diploid species of plant, the genes for plant height and fruit shape are syntenic and separated by 18 m.u. Allele D produce
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

C)Parental: 41% Dr, 41% dR; recombinant: 9% DR, 9% dr.

Explanation:

The notation Dr/dR for genotypes means that one homologous chromosome has the alleles Dr and the other homologous chromosome has the alleles dR.

The heterozygous plant  Dr/dR will produce 4 types of gametes: two identical to the chromosmes the individual has in its somatic cells (called parental), and two gametes which will be a mix of the alleles in the homologous chromosomes (called recombinant).

  • Dr: parental
  • dR: parental
  • DR: recombinant
  • dr: recombinant

To calculate the frequency of each type of gamete, we must use the formula:

Distance (map units) / 100 = frequency of recombination.

18 mu / 100 = 0.18.

The total frequency of recombination between the genes D and R is 0.18, but every time crossing over happens, two recombinant gametes are generated. Therefore, each recombinant gamete will have a frequency of 0.18/2=0.09 = 9%.

The frequency of parental gametes will be:

1 - frequency of recombinant gametes

1 - 0.18 = 0.82

But there are 2 parental gametes, so each of them will have a frequency of 0.82/2=0.41 = 41%.
