A population in which the frequency of alleles remains the same over generations is said to be in genetic equilibrium. Describe

one mechanism by which a populations' genetic equilibrium can be disrupted and result in the process of evolution.

Answer:

Natural selection disrupts the genetic equilibrium by favoring the genes for the traits that impart survival advantage to individuals.

Explanation:

Natural selection refers to the unequal survival rate of individuals of a population due to the presence of some beneficial adaptive genetic trait. These individuals are able to survive more and leave more progeny. Over generations, the population has increased number of these individuals leading to evolution of a population with different allele frequencies.  

For example, the frequency of gene for antibiotic resistance in the bacterial population was increased once humans started using antibiotics to control the bacterial population. This led to the evolution of the bacterial population with antibiotic resistance.

You are performing a biochemical purification of enzymes involved in DNA replication. You have purified the replisome. You wish
algol [13]

Confirm that the sample has both helicase and primase activities, but not the ability to synthesize DNA

  • The replisome is a multiprotein-RNA complex that is required for the replication of DNA. The replisome consists of different proteins which include:

            1. Helicase enzymes that unwind and separate the DNA strand

            2. Replication factor C (RFC), a DNA-dependent ATP that acts as an activator of DNA polymerase.

           3. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)

           4. DNA gyrase/topoisomerase that cuts and reseals DNA strands, which is essential for DNA synthesis.

           5. Primase enzyme that synthesizes short RNA fragments called primers.

          6. DNA polymerase III, an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand.

           7. DNA ligases enzymes that form phosphodiester bonds at a single-strand break in DNA

  • A primosome is a multiprotein complex responsible for creating RNA primers on single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) during the replication process.
  • The primosome is composed of different primase and helicase enzymes. In<em> Escherichia coli</em>, it consists of PriA helicase, PriB, PriC, DnaB helicase, DnaG (encoded by the dnaG gene), DnaC and DnaT primase.
