There are two alleles, B and b, at a gene locus in a population at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The relative frequency of the dom

inant (B) allele is 0.7. What is the expected number of heterozygous individuals if the total population size is 500 individuals?

Answer:

210

Explanation:

Frequency of dominant allele is represented by "p"

and frequency of recessive allele is represented by "q"

Given

p = 0.7

Thus,

q = 1-p\\q = 1 - 0.7 \\q = 0.3\\

As per Hardy Weinberg's second equation of equilibrium -

p^2 + q^ 2 + 2pq = 1\\

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

0.7^ 2+ 0.3^2 + 2pq = 1\\2pq = 1- 0.49-0.09\\2pq = 0.42

So the total number of heterozygous individual is equal to

0.42 * 500\\= 210

g The Electron Transport Complex (ETC) consists of four proteins. How many of these proteins directly contribute to the proton g
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Three proteins directly contribute to the proton gradient by moving protons across the membrane

Explanation:

The Electron transport chain is a group of proteins and molecules incrusted in the internal mitochondrial membrane and organized into four complexes, I, II, III, and IV. These complexes contain the electron transporters and the enzymes necessary to catalyze the electron transference from one complex to the other. Complex I contains the flavine mononucleotide -FMN- that receives electrons from the NADH. The coenzyme Q, located in the lipidic interior of the membrane, conducts electrons from complex I and II to complex III. The complex III contains cytochrome b, from where electrons go to cytochrome c, which is a peripheric membrane protein. Electrons travel from cytochrome c to cytochromes a and a3, located in the complex IV. Finally, they go back to the matrix, where they combine to H+ ions and oxygen, to form the water molecule. As electrons are transported through the chain, protons are bombed through three proteinic complexes from the matrix to the intermembrane space. These are complexes I, III and IV.

This is referred to as: spontaneous recovery

Spontaneous recovery is a theory of learning and memory which involves unexpected and recurrence of a conditioned response after a period of reduced response or delay. Spontaneous recovery is associated with classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Extinction will happen quickly after a spontaneous recovery, if the conditioned and unconditioned stimulus is not connected.
