In a given population of Drosophila, curly wings (c) is recessive to the wild-type condition of straight wings (c+). You isolate

a population of 35 curly winged flies, 70 flies that are heterozygous for straight wings, and 45 that are homozygous for straight wings. What is the total number of alleles in the gene pool?
A) 2
B) 300
C) 150
D) 230

Answer:

B) 300

Explanation:

There are two types of alleles present for wing type in this population of Drosophila, c and c+. Various combinations of these two alleles will produce different phenotypes.

c+c+ : straight wings = 45

c+c: straight wings = 70

cc: curly wings = 35

Total flies = 150

Each fly has one gene with two alleles for wing type. Hence 150 flies will have 300 alleles in the gene pool.

Pepsinogen is produced by __________ and is activated by __________
Ket [755]

Answer:

Pepsinogen is produced by chief cells and is activated by hydrochloric acid secreted by parietal cells.

Explanation:

Pepsinogen is a proenzyme produced in the chief cells (that are located in the stomach lining) that, when gets activated, is transformed into pepsin - a peptidase with the function to degrade proteins into amino acids.

The reason why pepsinogen is released inactive is that it would break down all of the cell's proteins because of its proteolytic nature. For this reason, it is released as a proenzyme and gets activated when reaches the acidic environment provided by the hydrochloric acid secreted by the parietal cells, also in the stomach lining.

Glutamic acid and valine are two amino acids with different molecular structures. (Glutamic acid is a strongly hydrophilic molec
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The switch from glutamic acid to valine in position 6 of hemoglobin (HB) forms the basis of sickle cell anemia disease pathology.

Valine is hydrophobic and it's chain is shorter than glutamic acid. The lack of the carboxylic acid and shortness of valine will result in loss of the ionic interactions formed between the glutamic acid's carboxylic group and other amino acids. A hydrophobic cavity will form in the beta sheet of HB due to the short and hydrophobic structure of valine. For these reasons, the HB molecule will be less stable and insoluble in water. The insolubility is thought to be caused by fibril formation between the valine interacting with hydrophobic pocket residues of the adjacent HB molecule.  This would in turn affect binding of oxygen to HB.

A reflex arc consists of
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

All of the above.

Explanation:

Reflex arc may be defined as the neural pathway that control the function of the reflex system of the body. Two main types of reflex arc are somatic reflex arc and autonomic reflex arc.

The afferent neuron carries signal from the receptors to the integrating center via the interneuron. The efferent neuron carries signal from the integrating center to the effector organ via the inter neuron.

Thus, the correct answer is option (e).
