What are the monomers of a macromolecule

Biology
1 answer:
skad [1K]3 years ago
6 0
It depends on which macromolecule you are referring to. As examples:

Protein monomers are amino acids.
DNA monomers are nucleotides.
Carbohydrate monomers are monosacharides.
Lipid monomers are fatty acids and glycerol.

Match the genetic mutations with their names.
dusya [7]

Answer:

1. CGAGGTT → CGTT (Deletion)

2. ATTCGG → ATTCGGATTCGG (Duplication)

3. CTTAAT → TAATTC (Inversion)

4. CTTAAT → CTTAACGCT (Insertion)

5. CGAT → CTAT (Substitution)

6. CCGGTT + TTAGGC = CCGTTA + GTTGGC (Translocation)

Explanation:

1. CGAGGTT → CGTT (Deletion) ---- This is called deletion because it involves the removal of 3 base pairs (AGG) from the DNA sequence.

2. ATTCGG → ATTCGGATTCGG (Duplication) ---- In this case, the particular sequence (ATTCGG) is copied again or duplicated.

3. CTTAAT → TAATTC (Inversion)----- This is called inversion mutation because the DNA sequence breaks off and is reattached but this time in a reverse order i.e. CTT becomes TTC, placing the last base first and the first base last.

4. CTTAAT → CTTAACGCT (Insertion) ------ This is called insertion mutation because it involves the addition of extra base pairs (CGC) into the sequence. The Insertion occurs between the last A and T nucleotide.

5. CGAT → CTAT (Substitution) ----- This is called substitution because Guanine base is replaced by Thymine in the DNA sequence. It is specifically called a transversion substitution because a purine (Guanine) is replaced by a pyrimidine (Thymine). It is called a point mutation because it involves a single base.

6. CCGGTT + TTAGGC = CCGTTA + GTTGGC (Translocation) ----- in this case, CCGGTT and TTAGGC are sequences on different chromosomes. Portions of sequence on the first chromosome (GTT) and second chromosome (TTA) breaks off and gets reattached/exchanged in each other i.e. the first chromosome gets TTA while the second gets GTT. This kind of mutation is called translocation.

What are the two molecules phages made out of?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Like all viruses, phages are simple organisms that consist of a core of genetic material (nucleic acid) surrounded by a protein capsid. The nucleic acid may be either DNA or RNA and may be double-stranded or single-stranded.

In humans, MN blood types are determined by an autosomal gene with two alleles: LM and LN. In one population of 592 people, ther
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

148

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1 where,

p = frequency of dominant allele

q = frequency of recessive allele

p² = frequency of homozygous dominant genotype

2pq = frequency of heterozygous genotype

q² = frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

Here,

Total population = 592

Number of NN people = 148

Frequency of N blood group or NN genotype (q²) = 148/592 = 0.25

q = √0.25 = 0.5

p = 1 - q

= 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

Hence, p = 0.5

Frequency of MM genotype = p² = 0.25

Number of people with MM genotype = 0.25*592 = 148

Hence, 148 people will have MM genotype or M blood group.
