2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) is a weak acid that can diffuse across lipid membranes. When added to eukaryotic cells, DNP can enter th

e mitochondria and move protons between the intermembrane space and the mitochondrial matrix by binding protons on one side, diffusing across the inner mitochondrial matrix and releasing protons on the other side, i.e. move protons down their concentration gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
a. How will DNP affect the proton gradient generated by ETC?
b. Will the addition of DNP inhibit the ETC, ATP synthase or both? Briefly explain your answer.

Answer:

a. In the presence of 2,4 dinitrophenol, which is soluble through the lipid membranes, the H+ gets an another route to pass through the membrane. It hampers the proton gradient potential without any generation of ATP. The gradient that was being utilized for the generation of energy is now just lost in the form of heat.  

b. With the reduction in the generation of energy, the cells get devoid of ATP, and drive the electron transport chain intensely so that the collapsing proton gradient gets re-established. However, it prevents the ATP synthase by providing a different path to the proton ions and thus diminishing the H+ concentration gradient.

In some chickens, the gene for feather color is controlled by codominance. The allele for black is B and the allele for white is
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, it lacks the main questions, those questions are:

a. What is the genotype for black chickens?

b. What is the genotype for white chickens?

c. What is the genotype for erminette chickens?

Explanation:

This question involves a gene coding for feather colour in some birds, in which the black allele (B) and white allele (W) is involved. According to the question, the gene coding for feather colour exhibits co-dominance i.e. both the black (B) and white (W) allele are expressed in a heterozygous state (BW) to form an erminette phenotype.

Hence, if the neither alleles is dominant or recessive over the other. The black phenotype will only be expressed when the genotype is BB.

The white phenotype will only be expressed when the genotype is WW

The combination of both alleles which results in the simultaneous expression of both in the erminette phenotype, will be BW genotype.

By the 1900s what type of evidence was being collected at crime scenes to help positively identify suspects by one particularly
guapka [62]

Answer:

By 1900, Fingerprint was the evidence which was collected at crime scenes to help positively identify suspects by one particularly unique trait.  No two people can have the same type of fingerprints. It is a unique characteristic which is even not common among identical twins. Therefore, was considered as an important evidence for identification of suspects and linking them with the scene of offence. In 1904, the city of St.Louis, Missouri used fingerprint evidence for the first time for criminal identification.
