Answer:

The frequency of the s allele is 0.6, the frequency of the S allele is 0.4

SS frequency = 0.16 (16%)

Ss frequency = 0.48 (48%)

ss frequency = 0.36 (36%)

Explanation:

When there are two alleles of a gene in a population, the frequency of each allele = 1. That means that the sum of the frequencies of both alleles is 100%

p + q = 1

For our alleles, that means S + s = 1

For the 3 possible genotypes from 3 alleles,

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

For our genotypes, that means S² + 2 x S x s + s² = 1

Since we know that 36 people have the genotype ss, we can add that into our equation:

S² + 2 x S x s + 36 = 1

Therefore, to work out the value of s, we take the square root of 36 (\sqrt{36\\}) = 6.

Therefore s = 6, which we convert to 0.6 (because we are talking about frequencies not percentages)

Back to our initial equation

p + q = 1, so S + s = 1

We know s = 0.6, so

S + 0.6 = 1,

so S = 0.4

For the genotype frequencies

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

0.4² + 2 x 0.4 x 0.6 + 0.6² =1

0.16 + 0.48 + 0.36 = 1

p² is the SS frequency = 0.16

2pq is Ss frequency = 0.48

q² is ss frequency = 0.36

What would be the expected result if a competitive, nonhydrolyzable analog of ATP were applied to the cytoplasmic side of a plas
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The cell interior would experience higher than normal Na+ concentrations and lower than normal K+ concentrations.

Explanation:

The Na/⁺K⁺ pump is an ATPase pump which is responsible for maintaining low Na⁺ and high K⁺ concentrations within the cytoplasm while maintaining high Na⁺ and low K⁺ concentrations in the extracellular fluid.

Since these two ions are moved against their concentration gradient, ATP hydrolysis is required to provide the energy for this process. This is done by moving in two K⁺ ions  inside while moving three Na⁺ ions outside the cell for every molecule of ATP hydrolysed to ADP and Pi.

If a competitive non-hydrolyzable analog of ATP is applied on the cytoplasmic side of a plasma membrane that contained a large concentration of the Na/⁺K⁺ pump, it will act by inhibiting the action of the Na/⁺K⁺ pump. This will result in an accumulation of Na⁺ ions inside the cell and lower than normal K⁺ ions concentration.

A random mutation occurs and the GGA codon is changed to GGU. What effect does this substitution have on the amino acid being ca
salantis [7]

Answer:

Instead of arginine codon, proline condon would be coded.

Explanation:

GCA encodes codes for glycine while on the other hand codon to GGU, GGC, or GGG encodes for glycine.

This substitution will lead to generation of complementary code “Proline” in the complementary mRNA or DNA strand.  

The codon CCT, CCC, CCA, CCG encodes for proline. If this mutation would not have occurred then Arginine would have been encoded in the complementary codon  with base structure of CGT, CGC, CGA, CGG

We decide to classify all ways that substances can move across a membrane into two groups: assisted by proteins and not assisted
Sonja [21]
The previous statement is true because if a substance cannot get into a cell membrane it is assisted via protein channels however if it doesn't need the protein channels then it just flows through the membrane.

Can a species switch from being an r-species to a K-species or visa versa?
patriot [66]

Answer:

as causas de las extinción de una especie pueden ser muchas, como la destrucción de su hábitat natural, la caza o captura de animales exóticos, la contaminación, la deforestación (la desaparición de los bosques por la tala de árboles) o el cambio climático, que son consecuencia de la intervención de los seres humanos. Aunque esto también puede relacionarse con distintos fenómenos naturales como inundaciones, incendios, o la llegada de enfermedades.

Explanation:

En algunas ocasiones y por diferentes motivos, las especies de animales empiezan a desaparecer, y esto se conoce como extinción. A pesar de que escuchamos esta palabra muy a menudo, alguna vez te has preguntado, ¿por qué una especie se extingue y qué pasa cuando esto sucede?
