In the datura plant, purple flower color is controlled by a dominant allele P. White flowers are found in plants homozygous for

the recessive allele p. Suppose that a purple-flowered datura plant with an unknown genotype is self-fertilized and that its progeny are 28 purple-flowered plants and 10 white-flowered plants.
Part A

Use the results of the self-fertilization to determine the genotype of the original purple-flowered plant.

a. Pp
b. PP
c. pp

Part B

If one of the purple-flowered progeny plants is selected at random and self-fertilized, what is the probability it will breed true?

a. 1/3
b. 1/4
c. 3/4
d. 2/3

Answer:

Part A: Pp

Part B: 1/3

Explanation:

A: The purple flower color is regulated by dominant allele "P". Since self-fertilization of the purple-flowered plant with unknown genotype gives both purple and white-flowered progeny in almost 3:1 ratio, the parent plant was heterozygous dominant for the trait. Its genotype is "Pp".

Segregation of recessive and dominant alleles during gamete formation leads to the production of two types of gametes with either "P" or "p" alleles. The random fusion of these gametes produces progeny in following phenotype ratio= 3 purple: 1 white.

B. Out of the 3 purple-flowered progeny, 1 is homozygous dominant (PP). Therefore, the probability of the purple-flowered progeny to breed true is 1/3.

2. Protein A has a binding site for ligand X with a Kd of 10-6M. Protein B has a binding site for ligand X with a Kd of 10-9M. W
allsm [11]

Answer:

Protein B has a higher affinity for ligand C than protein A

Explanation:

Binding affinity is a measure of the strength of the bonds or interactions between a single biomolecule or receptor to its ligand. A ligand is usually a small molecule that binds to a specific receptor.

The receptor is usually a large molecule that contains a specific site for the binding of ligand.

Binding affinity is usually measured by the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD). The equilibrium dissociation constant KD is a ratio of the dissociation and the association of ligand to the receptor. The value of KD is used to evaluate and compare the strengths of bimolecular interactions.  The larger the KD value, the more weakly the target molecule and ligand are attracted to and bind to one another.

The higher the dissociation constant (KD), the weaker the affinity is between the interacting molecules, whereas, the smaller the KD value, the greater the binding affinity of the ligand for its target.

Protein B has a KD value of 10⁻⁹ M while Protein A has a KD of 10⁻⁶ M.

Ration of KD of protein B to protein A = 10⁻⁹ M/10⁻⁶ M = 10⁻³

Therefore, protein B has a KD value which is 1000 times smaller than the KD of protein A.

A lab assistant needs to mix up the following reaction to prepare DNA for an experiment:_________.
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The total solution formed after mixing the components will be

20 μl + 20 μl + 40 μl + 120 μl = 200 μl

The smallest size tube that will hold the entire reaction is:

Firstly convert 200μl to ml

1000 μl = 1 ml

200 μl = X

X = 200 x 1/1000

X = 0.2 ml

The smallest size tube (from the options provided in the question) is 0.25 ml.

The pipetting device that could be used to accurately measure all the needed volumes must be able to measure 20 μl, 40 μl and 120 μl.

The best pipette to accurately take these measurements individually is the P200 micropipette because it has an accurate/useful range of between 20 μl - 200 μl
