Describe the effect of amanitin on the maximum elongation rate for the wild-type and modified RNA polymerases. Determine the rat

io of the average maximum elongation rate for the modified RNA polymerase compared to the wild strain RNA polymerase in Figure 1
Biology

Ainat [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Average max. elongation rate = modified RNA pol./ wild type RNA pol = 2/12 = 0.166 nucleotides per sec.

Explanation:

After treating the wild type and experimental RNA with amanitin solution, the amanitin actively binds to the active site of wild type RNA polymerase, inhibiting addition of nucleotides and also it interferes with the motility of RNA pol. along the DNA template, due to which their is a sharp decline in maximum elongation rate of mRNA. In case of experimental RNA polymerase, due to single base substitution the experimental strain is already having very low elongation rate, but binding of amanitin causes constraint on the motility of RNA polymerase through the DNA template, thereby decreasing the elongation rate. Average max. elongation rate = modified RNA pol./ wild type RNA pol = 2/12 = 0.166 nucleotides per sec.

What percentage of offspring from a cross between a homozygous type A parent with a heterozygous Type A parent is expected to co
snow_lady [41]

The correct answer is option B, 50%

Let us take the following case:

Genotype of heterozygous parent - (Aa)

Genotype of homozygous parent – (aa)

Allele I  - (Aa)

Allele II – (aa)

The cross between the two is shown below:

Aa  X aa

Aa, Aa, aa, aa

There are 50 % Aa, and 50 % aa allele.  

Thus, the allele I (Aa) is 50 %.

What is one reason eating some fat is necessary
Temka [501]

A small amount of fat is an essential part of a healthy, balanced diet. Fat is a source of essential fatty acids, which the body can't make itself. Fat helps the body absorb vitamins A, D and E. These vitamins are fat-soluble, meaning they can only be absorbed with the help of fats.
