Restriction enzyme HinfI cleaves a five nucleotide DNA sequence GA(A/T)TC. The ambiguity in the central position - (A/T) - means
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

C) 2.0 kb

Explanation:

It is given that out of the 4 nucleotides A, T, C & G each one has equal probability to occur at any position on the DNA molecule which simply means that the probability of occurrence of any nucleotide at a position is 1/4.

Also, it is given that probability of occurrence of either A or T at 3rd position is equal which means that the probability at that particular position will be 2/4 = 1/2.

Now, GA(A/T)TC is the DNA sequence where Restriction enzyme HinfI cleaves so the total probability of an average HinfI cleavage fragment will be = 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/2 x 1/4 x 1/4 = 0.00195 = 0.2 i.e. 2 kb.

Alexeev081 [22]

Based on their function, you would expect melanocytes in the skin to have a higher than usual number of ribosomes.

Ribosomes are cell structures that functions as the site of biological protein synthesis. Ribosomes are present in all living cells where they produce proteins required for many cellular functions. Ribosomes join amino acids together in the order specified by messenger RNA molecules. Ribosomes are made up of two parts which are; the large subunits (which connect amino acids to create a polypeptide chain) and the small ribosomal subunits (which read the RNA).

“Assume a molecule must cross the plasma membrane into a cell. The molecule is a very large protein. How will it be transported
svet-max [94.6K]
It will be transported into the cell through the process of endocytosis, which is a form of active transport. Active transport requires energy in the form of ATP. Hope this helps! :)

Red blood cells (a good, colorful example of an animal cell type) when placed in pure water swell up and eventually explode. Why
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

When red blood cells are placed inside pure water they normally swell up and eventually explode. Red blood cells in pure water swell up because the pure water enter in the red blood cells by mean of osmosis. The water molecules are able to enter the red blood cells because the salt concentration inside the red blood cells is more than that of the pure water.

As water continue to move inside the cells, the cell swell up and eventually burst because the internal pressure inside the cell is greater than the external pressure, therefore the cell membrane become ruptured and eventually burst.
