The cytochrome c in both horses and pigeons differs from the human protein at 12 locations. Based on this data, you might infer

that horses and pigeons are closely related. What could you do to support or refute this hypothesis?

Answer:

Cytochrome c is an enzyme found in bacteria, fungi, plants and animals. Here it is given that the human amino acid sequence for cytochrome c differs at 12 locations from the sequence in horses and pigeons. This information might be useful for inferring in preliminary stages that horses and pigeons are closely related to each other since they both show similar amount of difference from humans.

However, this hypothesis is being made with respect to the the comparison between "humans and horses" and "humans and pigeons". To further test this hypothesis pigeons and horses should be directly compared to each other without the use of a third species like humans. Hence, the sequence for cytochrome c in horse and pigeon should be compared with each other rather than comparing to humans.

The frequency of sickle-cell anemia, an autosomal recessive condition, is 0.007. Assuming that the population is in H-W equilibr
damaskus [11]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 0.084

Explanation:

Sickle cell anemia is a autsmal recessive blood disorder of RBCs where RBC shape altered to the sickle shape or cresecent moon that obstruct and damage the veins and artries.

Normal allele is represented by - HbA - p

sickel cell allele is represented by - HbS - q

genotype frequency of normal allele HbA in the population = p2

genptype frequency of HbAHbS in the population = 2pq

genotype frequency of autosomal recessive HbS = q2 = 0.007 (given)

So, the allelic frequency of the recessive allele =

q =  √ 0.007 = 0.08366 or 0.084

QUESTION 16 Why does spoiled food become more sour? Spoilage microbes produce acid The nutrients in juice react with its packagi
galben [10]

Answer:

Spoilage microbes produce acid

Explanation:

When food becomes spoiled or is unprotected, bacteria will invade the food. These types of bacteria are called spoilage bacteria. The bacteria will multiply by consuming the nutrients from the food and grows very rapidly. In certain conditions, the invading bacteria will produce acids that protects them and creates a barrier for other microbes. This acid is what gives spoiled food a sour taste.
