What is the difference between the ""one gene-one protein"" and ""one gene-one polypeptide"" hypotheses?

Answer:

"One gene-one protein" hypothesis states that one gene codes for one protein while the "one gene-one polypeptide" hypothesis states that one gene codes for one polypeptide chain of a protein having more than one type of polypeptide chains.

Explanation:

Beadle and Tatum proposed the one gene-one protein concept to explain the one-to-one correspondence between genes and proteins. Accordingly, one gene carries information to encode one protein. Since enzymes are proteins with catalytic power, a gene encodes the information to produce a single enzyme.

The "one gene-one protein" concept was later modified into the "one gene-one polypeptide" hypothesis. According to the "one gene-one polypeptide" hypothesis, one protein may have more than one polypeptide chain. One gene carries the genetic information to encode one polypeptide. Therefore, a protein with more than one type of polypeptide chains will be encoded by more than one gene.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The mentioned parental types are c+m- and c-m+. Thus, the recombinants will be c+m+ and c-m-.  

Now, the given distance between c and m is 8 map units. Thus, the recombinant frequency is 8% or 0.08.  

The total recombinants from 1000 plaques will come out to be 80,  

Thus, the recombinants of each type will be 40.  

Total parental type will be 920, and therefore, each parental type count will be 460.  

Thus, expected c+m- = 460, expected c-m+ = 460, expected c+m+ = 40 and expected c-m- = 40.

Drupady [299]

Answer:

The new drug will not be effective against the treatment of cancer.

Explanation:

The drug will not be effective against the cancer treatment because the drug will inhibit the dimerization of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) but as the Ras has undergone mutation due to replacement of one amino acid, it will be constitutively expressed and the drug is not effective in stopping the Ras functioning.

Thus, Gefitinib cannot work against the cancerous cell as it is not potent to stop the functioning of mutant Ras protein.

What happens during photosynthesis? pls help me
Eduardwww [97]

Explanation:

During the process of photosynthesis, cells use carbon dioxide and energy from the Sun to make sugar molecules and oxygen. ... Then, via respiration processes, cells use oxygen and glucose to synthesize energy-rich carrier molecules, such as ATP, and carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product.
