Answer: C) 13.5

Explanation:

Given that the frequency of an allele in a manatee population is 0.15 and said population is at Hard-Weinberg (a well-known equation usually used to calculating processes regarding allele and genotype frequencies), the correct number of 600 individuals that should be homozygous for the allele is <u>13.5 individuals.</u>

Given the gene sequence GGACCGTCGATCTTC, which of the following choices would represent an inversion mutation? A. GGACTCGATCTTC
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

D. GGACCGTCGATCCTT

Explanation:

Mutation refers to any change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene. Mutation can be of different types depending on how it occurs. According to the question, an INVERSION mutation is a type of mutation in which a segment of a gene gets broken off and reattached in another way on the same DNA. Hence, the only change in inversion mutation is the arrangement of the nucleotide bases on the gene.

Considering the nucleotide sequence: GGACCGTCGATCTTC, the sequence that describes an occurrence of inversion mutation is: GGACCGTCGATCCTT because the segment TTC in the original sequence has been rearranged as CTT in the mutated sequence.

Portion of an enzyme to which a substrate can attach
netineya [11]

Answer:

An active site

Explanation:

  • Enzymes are biological catalysts that catalyze chemical reactions or biochemical reactions. They are substrate specific and each enzyme acts on a certain specific substrate.
  • <em><u>Enzymes contain a pocket-like structure called the </u></em><em><u>active site</u></em><em><u> where the substrate binds according to the induced-fit model.</u></em>
  • Upon binding of the substrate to the active site catalysis takes place and the substrate is converted to product. Enzymes remain unchanged after the reaction.

Increasing the alveolar ventilation rate will Group of answer choices increase the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli. de
Pie

Answer:

Increasing the alveolar ventilation rate will increase the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli.

Explanation:

Alveolar Ventilation rate is the rate of air flow in the alveoli of the lung during normal breathing. It is measured in milliliters of air per minute (mL/min). The alveolar ventilation rate is an important factor in determining the concentrations (partial pressures) of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the functioning alveoli.

A high rate of alveolar ventilation, would result in a rapid influx of oxygen-rich air and efflux carbon dioxide-filled air from the alveoli.  This ultimately results in an increase in the concentration of oxygen and a decrease in the concentration of carbon dioxide within the alveoli.

Effects of alveolar ventilation on partial pressures of alveolar carbon dioxide and oxygen (PACO₂ and PAO₂)

If the  alveolar ventilation rate is increased (and carbon dioxide production is unchanged), then the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the alveoli, PACO₂ will decrease.

If the  alveolar ventilation rate increases, then the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli, PAO₂ will increase.
