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.

Assume that a DNA double helix contains 100 base airs one pair is A-T or C-G and there 45 cytosines how many guaninas are there?
Semenov [28]
45 guanine, 55 adenines

Every cytosine needs a guanine to be a pair, so that is 45 pairs right there.
100-45 = 55
There should be 55 adenine and thymine pairs to fill in the remaining bases

A fruit fly population has a gene with two alleles, A1 and A2. Tests show that 70% of the gametes produced in the population con
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Given ,

A1 allele is carried by 70 % people

Let us assume A1 s dominant genotype

This means p= \frac{70}{100} = 0.7

Thus, frequency of allele in the given population is 0.7

It is also given that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium thus

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

Frequency of fruit fly with genotype A2A2 will be

q^2\\= (0.3)^2\\= 0.09

As per Hardy-Weinberg's second equation of equilibrium

p^{2} + q^{2} + 2pq = 1\\0.49+0.09+2pq = 1\\2pq = 1-0.49-0.09\\2pq= 0.42

Hence, option C is correct

Andrej [43]

Answer:

B. DR, Dr, Rd, dr

Explanation:

This question involves two genes. Alleles D and R are dominant over alleles d and r. These two genes obey the law of independent assortment as proposed by Gregor Mendel.

Based on the question, a genotype RrDd will produce the following combination of gametes following the process of meiosis:

DR, Dr, dR, dr

Andrei [34K]
<h2><em>Aerobic Respiration</em></h2>

Explanation:

  • Aerobic cellular respiration is the process by which the cells of a living being separate <em>nourishment and transform it into the energy</em> they have to play out their essential functions
  • The most importance of <em>aerobic respiration in living</em> things can't be belittled Without this process, no living thing would survive
  • <em>Oxygen is a critical component of Aerobic respiration</em> in many animals
  • The motivation behind the oxygen is so significant is on the grounds that it assumes a critical job in the <em>mitochondria</em>, the <em>powerhouses of the cell</em>
  • The<em> mitochondria has two layers</em>. On the inward layer, 4 gatherings of protein structure the<em> Electron Transport Chain</em>
