Given: The mutation rate per nucleotide is 4 x 10^{-8}. There are 1500 nucleotides per locus.

To find: The mutation rate per locus for the locus of length 1500 nucleotides.

Method: Simple multiplication of the mutation rate per nucleotide with number of nucleotides per locus will give the answer

Solution:

The mutation rate per nucleotide = 4 \times 10^{-8}

The number of nucleotides per locus = 1500

The mutation rate per locus = mutation rate per nucleotide x number of nucleotide per locus = 4 \times 10^{-8} \times 1500 = 6 \times 10^{-5}.

Which of the following experimental data would suggest the presence of a transmembrane protein? The primary sequence contains st
Zina [86]

Answer:

All of the other answer choices suggest the presence of a multipass transmembrane protein.

Explanation:

The primary sequence contains stretches of polar and nonpolar amino acids, suggesting an amphipathic design.

This one could be, because of the presence of polar an nonpolar aminoacids. The phospholipids membrane have the same construction.

The protein has windows of the primary sequence with positive hydropathy values separated by windows of the primary sequence with negative hydropathy values.

The same here, having pieces of positive and negative hidropathy can be a sign of transmembrane protein.

The protein isolates with the membrane fraction of the cell rather than the cytoplasmic fraction of the cell.

This is discribing you a transmembrane protein

vladimir2022 [97]

Explanation:

Halotolerant is the ability of the organism to grow at the higher concentration of salt than the required concentration for its growth.

As we know Mannitol salt is used as selective medium for isolation of pathogenic bacteria. The medium has mannitol salt, phenol red indicator, 7.5% sodium chloride. This high salt concentration inhibits the growth of most bacteria.

How did DDT nearly cause the bald eagle to become extinct? Also, what surface water pollution issue has caused problems in Ohio
ioda

<span>Pesticides sprayed on plants were eaten by small animals, which were later consumed by birds of prey. The DDT poison harmed both the adult birds and the eggs that they laid. The egg shells became too thin to with stand the incubation period, and were often crushed. Eggs that were not crushed during incubation often did not hatch, due to high levels of DDT and its derivatives.<span> </span></span>
