Starch molecules are too large to diffuse into cells. Give me brainliest please!

Starch can't be used by the organism the way it is, because cells aren't able to do anything with it.

If you break it into glucose though, it becomes usable.

In a population of 200, 86 individuals express the recessive phenotype. What percent of the population would you predict would b
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The correct option is;

D. 45%

Explanation:

From the Hardy- Weinberg law, we have;

p² + 2·p·q + q² = 1

p + q = 1

Where:

p = Dom inant allele frequency in the population

q = Recessive allele frequency in the population

p² = The percentage of individuals in the population that are hom ozygous dominant

q² = The percentage of individuals in the population that are homo zygous recessive

2×p×q = The percentage of hete rozyous individuals in the population

The number of individuals that express the recessive phenotype = 86

The number of individuals in the population = 200

The percentage of  individuals that express the recessive phenotype, q² = 86/200 = 0.43

Therefore;

q = √0.43 = 0.656

p + q = 1

p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.656= 0.344

∴ The frequency of  individuals that express the do minant phe notype, p = 0.344

The percentage of heterozyous individuals in the population = 2×p×q × 100 = 2 × 0.656 × 0.344 × 100 = 45.15% ≈ 45%

What is a possible effect of an error during transcription?
Leviafan [203]

A possible effect of an error during transcription is the wrong amino acid chain, will be produced.

Option D

<h3><u>Explanation: </u></h3>

The "wrong amino acid chain", will be produced as a possible effect of an error during transcription. A mutated set of proteins will start getting produced. They will have different or faulty functioning. In some cases, they won't have any functions of their own.

To avoid the possibility of an error, the transcript goes through a process of proofreading which further eliminates the chances of a wrong protein being developed.
