Answer is: The monosaccharide monomers in cellulose are bonded together differently than in starch.
<span>The glucose monomers (C</span>₆H₁₂O₆)<span> in cellulose are bonded in a beta glycosidic linkage (</span>β-1,4 bond)<span>, whereas those in starch have an alpha glycosidic linkage (</span>α-1,4 bond)<span>. The enzyme amylase is specific for the alpha glycosidic linkage.</span>

In a population of 100 individuals, 50 are genotype MM, 40 are MN, and 10 are NN. What are the frequencies of the M and N allele
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

F(M) = 0.7 F(N)=0.3

Explanation:

We need to take into account that individuals NN and MM only N or M aleles respectively while MN gives just half of the allelic contribution for each. With this in mind we have the following probabilities for getting each of the alleles: MM => p(M) = 1.0 and p(N)=0.0

MN => p(M ) = 0.5 and p(N) = 0.5

NN => P(M) = 0.0 and p(N) = 1.0

With this we can calculate the frequencies of the M and N alleles in the population with 100 individuals using the following formulas

For f(M):

f(M)=\frac{1.0 (MM) + 0.5 (MN)}{Total individuals}

f(M)=\frac{1.0(50)+0.5(40)}{100}

f(M) = \frac{50+20}{100}

f(M)=\frac{70}{100}=\frac{7}{10}=0.7

The frequency of the M allele is 0.7

For f(N):

f(N)=\frac{1.0 (NN) + 0.5 (MN)}{Total individuals}

f(N)=\frac{1.0(10)+0.5(40)}{100}

f(N) = \frac{10+20}{100}

f(M)=\frac{30}{100}=\frac{3}{10}=0.3

The frequency of the N allele is 0.3

Stars change over millions of years.<br>O True<br>O False​
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

stars can change bc Stars change over time. ... It is in the clouds of dust and gas that stars are born. As more and more of the gas (which is mostly hydrogen) is pulled together by gravity into a cloud, the cloud starts to spin. The gas atoms start to bump into each other faster and faster.
