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.

Answer:

Choice A, BCAD

Explanation:

Recombination frequency is a number that describes the proportion of recombinant offspring produced in a cross. In other words, it tells us how often does crossing over happen between the loci of two observed genes. The bigger the RF is, the larger is the distance between two genes. That means that genes B and D (RF 14%) are the most distant ones, and all the others are located inbetween them. You have to sketch the order of genes based on how far away they are from each other.

Why can’t non-permeable or fully permeable membrane support life?
TEA [102]
One wouldn’t allow for passive transport. And the other would allow to much. The membrane serves as a gate. Non-permeable would be a solid wall were nothing and no one can get through or get out . Including things like water. And fully permeable would represent no gate at all and would allow to much in and out of the cell.

What would be the expected effect on plants if the atmospheric CO2 concentration was doubled? What would be the expected effect
Elis [28]

Answer:

C3 plants would have faster growth rates; C4 plants would be minimally affected.

Explanation:

C3 and C4 pathways are the variations of dark reactions of photosynthesis present in green plants. The photosynthetic efficiency of C3 plants is reduced due to the affinity of RuBisCo enzyme for oxygen which in turn leads to the futile pathway of photorespiration. RuBisCo enzyme catalyzes the rate-limiting reaction of the C3 pathway. On the other hand, the C4 plants concentrate CO2 around RuBisCo in their bundle sheath cells of leaves to minimize photorespiration and exhibit higher rates of photosynthesis.

Increased levels of atmospheric CO2 would reduce the photorespiration in C3 plants and would allow them to fix CO2 efficiently due to the increased concentration of CO2 around the enzyme RuBisCo. The increased photosynthetic efficiency would help these plants to exhibit faster growth rates.

However, the photosynthetic rate of C4 plants is not limited by CO2 concentration as they themselves reduce photorespiration by spatial separation of primary carboxylation in mesophyll cell and CO2 fixation in bundle sheath cells. Hence, increased CO2 levels in the atmosphere would not have any impact on their photosynthetic rate and growth.

Cory is a 20-year-old woman who is not sure about leaving home, about going to college, or about dating mike. cory would be cons
Licemer1 [7]

Cory is reluctant to leave her home and attend college despite just being finished with her teenage years. Usually, the people of this age are explorative and are trying to find their identity in the world separately, but Cory seems to stay isolated even from Mike, which indicates that she might be going through the stage of stress. Stress makes a person to avoid any kind of interaction with other people and inhibits the urge to explore the life outside one's comfort zone. So, Cory is going through the stress stage.
