g A graduate student ran a gel filtration column and determined that a specific protein has a molecular mass of 400 kDa. The stu

dent then ran an SDS-PAGE gel of the protein under non-reducing conditions and found the presence of three bands: 180, 160, and 60 kDa. The student then ran SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions and still found three bands but the sizes were: 160, 90, and 60 kDa. Explain (1) the subunit composition of the protein, (2) the number of unique and identical polypeptides present in a single protein, (3) and why the discrepancies occur in the molecular weights.

Answer:

1) The protein is a tetramer, i.e., it has 4 subunits

2) The protein has two identical subunits with a molecular weight of 90 kDa

3) Because this protein contains two subunits with identical molecular weight (90 + 90= 180)

Explanation:

160 kDa + 90 kDa + 60 kDa = 310 kDa >>

Subunit X = 400 kDa - 310 kDa = 90 kDa >> Two subunits with a weight of 90 kDa likely linked by disulfide bonds (i.e., non-reducing conditions can break all bonds except sulfide interactions)

A frog may at first be startled by tree branches swaying in the wind, but it soon stops responding to these kinds of unimportant
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Habituation.

Explanation:

Habituation may be defined as a type of non associative learning. This type of learning reduces the innate response of an individual towards the repeated or prolonged time of the stimulation.

The frog first respond to the tree branches swaying in the wind. After some time the frog does not respond because of the prolonged or repeated stimulus of the environment. Hence, frog shows the lack of response due to habituation.

HELP!! RELATIVELY QUICKLY PLEASE!!
Daniel [21]
Okay, first the clear up. The Homozygous dominate trait is RR and is Red, the Heterozygous trait is Rr and is Pink, and the Homozygous recessive trait is rr and is white.


Part A: The co-dominance or incomplete dominance mixes the colours together, so the phenotype for the Heterozygous Rr flower is pink.


Part B: This question is easiest to explain with a punnet square... so. Diagram attached.

Part C: To get only Heterozygous genotypes, the gardener must cross only White flowers with red flowers. Because both these flowers are homozygous pairs, it means that any offspring created from that group would have a mix of the two. This is clearly seen in the F1 generation of Mendel's experiments for further proof. If any other pair is chosen ie Red with red: all red offspring, white and white, all white offspring. Pink and pink, a 1:2:! ratio. Red and Pink: 1:1 ratio of red and pink. White and pink: 1:1 ratio of pink and white. Red and white: Only pink offspring.

Hope that helps, message if you need it explained.
