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.
E) It is impossible to determine from the information given.

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 flash flood carried a raft of Amazon ants away from their original population. There is enough distance between the two groups
vitfil [10]

Answer:

geographical isolation

Explanation:

Reproductive isolation is a process of evolution that ensures that members of different species are incapable of mating and when they do, such mating do not result into any offspring or leads to the production of invalid offspring.

There are two mechanisms of reproductive isolation:

  • Pre-zygotic mechanisms prevents fertilization between two different species and these include habitat isolation, mating seasons, mechanical isolation, gamete isolation,  geographical isolation and behavioral isolation.
  • Post-zygotic isolation prevents the products of fertilization from becoming valid and this include hybrid inviability, hybrid sterility and hybrid breakdown.

<em>Geographical isolation involves the existence of geographical barriers between two populations such that there cannot be mating between the two. The two populations eventually evolve to become different species.</em>

Which of the following is a nucleoside analog commonly used as a reverse transcriptase inhibitor in the treatment of HIV?
Over [174]

Answer:

Azidothymidine

Explanation:

Azidothymidine (AZT) is one of the nucleoside analogs that is used in the treatment of AIDS as it inhibits the process of reverse transcription of HIV (Human immunodeficiency virus).

The HIV replicates by making DNA copies of RNA through the process of reverse transcription. The process is driven by enzyme reverse transcriptase. Azidothymidine (AZT) serves to inhibit the activity of reverse transcriptase enzyme and thereby does not allow HIV to reproduce.

Which describes John datiton observations of elements in any given compound
dmitriy555 [2]

Atoms of different elements always combine in the same way.

John Dalton noted that if the components are added to one exacerbated, the share of their masses will dependably be the same. Dalton's been an English scholar. The component mass of that mix is measured by the confirmation of the presence of molecules assembled by John Dalton.

List the properties of P waves and S waves.
Ymorist [56]

P Waves are compressional and the fastest moving seismic wave 

S waves are slower than P waves and they can only travel through solid rock. S waves move the particles it pushes through up and down or side to side.
