The amount of enzyme activity in a cell that is homozygous for a mutant allele is 400 units. The amount of enzyme activity in a

cell homozygous for the WT allele is 200 units. The amount of enzyme activity in a heterozygote is 300 units.
What is the dominance relationship between the WT and mutant allele for the phenotype of amount of enzyme per cell?

A) The mutant allele is dominant.
B) The WT and mutant alleles are codominant.
C) The WT allele is dominant.
D) The WT and mutant alleles show incomplete dominance.

Answer:

D) The WT and mutant alleles show incomplete dominance.

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is an example of intragenic interaction where the two alleles interact with each other. Neither allele is dominant and when they are present together they produce a blended trait i.e. an intermediate trait between the two extremes.

Here, enzyme activity produced by homozygous WT genotype is 200 units. Enzyme activity produced by homozygous mutant genotype is 400 units. Heterozygote ( one mutant and one WT allele ) produces an intermediate enzyme activity of 300 units because it lies between 200 and 400 units. Hence, WT and mutant alleles show incomplete dominance.

A proton gradient is an important part of both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
Dennis_Churaev [7]

A proton gradient is an important part of both photosynthesis and cellular respiration because couple the favorable flow of H+ to transport specific metabolites into and out of organelles.

<h3>What is the proton gradient?</h3>

The gradient is sometimes called the proton-motive and can be thought of as a form of energy, force and force in a battery. Like other ions, protons are not able to cross directly through the phospholipid bilayer of the membrane, as the interior of the membrane is hydrophobic.

The proton gradient generated by this manipulation provided a driving force for ATP synthesis in the absence of light. This confirms the chemiosmotic theory, where a chemical potential across the membrane can provide energy for ATP synthesis.

The proton gradient produced by pumping protons during the electron transport chain is used to synthesize ATP.
