This injury is fatal because, The phrenic nerve regulates breathing and operates the diaphragm.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The motor ability is provided by the Nerve called Phrenic nerve to the diaphragm. This is a muscle that is very important for the respiration to take place in human. When a damage or injury occurs to the Phrenic nerve, it may result in the paralysis of diaphragm.

When this is damages there may be difficulties in breathing and only small amount of air can be inhaled. Thus the paralysis of this nerve results in the prevention of the victim to find difficulties in respiration. Thus, the example given is fatal because, the phrenic nerve regulates breathing and operates the diaphragm.

In a population of 200, 86 individuals express the recessive phenotype. What percent of the population would you predict would b
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The correct option is;

D. 45%

Explanation:

From the Hardy- Weinberg law, we have;

p² + 2·p·q + q² = 1

p + q = 1

Where:

p = Dom inant allele frequency in the population

q = Recessive allele frequency in the population

p² = The percentage of individuals in the population that are hom ozygous dominant

q² = The percentage of individuals in the population that are homo zygous recessive

2×p×q = The percentage of hete rozyous individuals in the population

The number of individuals that express the recessive phenotype = 86

The number of individuals in the population = 200

The percentage of  individuals that express the recessive phenotype, q² = 86/200 = 0.43

Therefore;

q = √0.43 = 0.656

p + q = 1

p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.656= 0.344

∴ The frequency of  individuals that express the do minant phe notype, p = 0.344

The percentage of heterozyous individuals in the population = 2×p×q × 100 = 2 × 0.656 × 0.344 × 100 = 45.15% ≈ 45%

1. Compare and contrast ATP and NADH.
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Glycolysis produces 4 ATP molecules, giving it a net gain of 2 ATP molecules. The four high energy electrons that are removed by glycolysis are picked by an electron carrier called NAD. NAD becomes NADH.As it spins it grabs an ADP molecule and attaches a phosphate, forming high energy ATP.

Explanation:

Both NADPH and ATP are phosphorylated compounds, both are very important catabolic as well as anabolic processes. To explain the difference, their respective functions/roles in biochemical processes should be described along with relevant chemical properties.

ATP (Adenosine triphospahte) is called an energy rich molecule because of the large negative free energy of its hydrolysis (And has nothing to do with high bond energy).

30.5 kilo Joules or 7.3 kilo calorie energy is liberated after hydrolysis of one ATP molecule to form ADP (Adenosine diphosphate) and phosphate.The reaction is almost irreversible

Which of the following organelles is common to both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
GalinKa [24]
<span>Prokaryotes don't have a nucleolus as they do not have a nucleus, and neither do they have a Golgi apparatus. A nucleoid is loose DNA which is found in prokaryotes but not in eukaryotes
