A genetic locus has two alleles. One has a frequency of 0.12; the other has a frequency of _______.

Biology

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

As per the first equation of equilibrium of Hardy Weinberg, the sum of frequencies of alleles at the locus is equal to unity.  

Thus,  

If "p" represents the frequency of dominant allele, "q" represents the frequency of recessive allele and at equilibrium

p + q = 1\\

Let us assume that value of q is given in question which is equal to 0.12

On substituting the given values in above equation we get -

p + 0.12 = 1\\p = 1-0.12\\p = 0.88

Hence, option A is correct

The asnswer is 2DG also known as 2-Deoxy-D-glucose.  2DG is a glucose molecule that has the 2-hydroxyl group replaced by hydrogen, so that it cannot undergo further glycolysis. As such; it acts to competitively inhibit the production of glucose-6-phosphate from glucose at the phosphoglucoisomerase level (step 2 of glycolysis).

A student claims that cellular respiration is essential to cells so that they have a means for getting rid of excess carbon diox
Romashka [77]

1. Cellular respiration does not consume carbon dioxide (CO2).

Cellular respiration is a process by which plants produce energy. It consists of anaerobic (without O2) and aerobic phase(with the presence of O2). During the cellular respiration chemical energy derived from the nutrients (like glucose) is transformed into energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

2. Unlike photosynthesis, cellular respiration occurs in all eukaryotic organisms (photosynthesis only in plants and some microorganisms). The processes of cellular respiration occur in cytosol (glycolysis) and in the mitochondrion of a cell (Krebs cycle and electron transport chain).
