Answer: 5

Explanation:

Since 1 out of 200 people carry the defective gene that causes inherited colon cancer.

In a sample of 1000 individuals, we say

1 = 200

y = 1000

cross multiply

y x 200 = 1000 x 1

200y = 1000

y = 1000/200

y = 5

Thus, in a sample of 1000 individuals, approximately 5 will be carriers

Ostrovityanka [42]
"Grandmother cells" are mostly closely associated with specificity coding. Specifity coding is the representation of particular objects in a particular environment by the firing of neuron that are tuned to respond specifically to that object. Single cells fires only in response to the presence of a particular face say a grand mother but no response to any other face.

Which of the following is the coenzyme that functions as an electron carrier in photosynthesis?
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. NADP⁺

Explanation:

NADP+ is the coenzyme that acts as the electron carrier during the photosynthetic process. The electron that is released from the splitting of water pass through the electron transport chain and at the end of the chain the electron is received by an electron carrier called NADP+.  

So this passing of electron causes the transport of H ions in the thylakoid lumen from the stroma and when these ions come back through ATP synthase it forms ATP. Then these NADPH and ATP are used in the Calvin cycle to fix the CO2 into complex form. Therefore the correct answer is C. NADP⁺.
