Suppose the mutation rate per nucleotide for a genetic locus is 4 × 10–8 and that the locus contains 1,500 nucleotides. what is

the per-locus mutation rate?
Biology
1 answer:
DerKrebs [107]3 years ago
6 0

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}.

azamat

Answer:

In multicellular organisms, the mechanism most directly responsible for directing development and maintaining homeostasis is gene "regulation"

Explanation:

Even though the organs present throughout the body helps in maintaining the homeostasis, But the systems like endocrine system and nervous system plays important role in sustaining and regulating it.  The gene regulation is the increase and decrease of the specific gene products. Gene regulation can also be understood as the regulating process which helps in controlling ability of the cell to the environmental changes or can say the adaptability of the cell to changing environment done by gene regulation.

The "rod-cone break" in the dark adaptation curve occurs after about ____ in the dark.
emmainna [20.7K]
The correct answer is "<span>7 minutes".

The Rod-Cone-Break is considered to be a d</span>ark environment adaptation function in the eye, wherein for an estimated time of the first ten minutes in the dark, the cones<span> needs less light to reach a threshold response than do the </span>rods<span>. Thereafter, the </span>rods<span> need less light. The point at which the </span>rods<span> become more sensitive is called the </span>rod-cone break<span>.</span>
