Scientists are using genetic engineering to develop a wheat crop that is resistant to a particular kind of moth. How would they

determine if the plants are moth-resistant?
Biology
1 answer:
Ivanshal [37]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Moth populations should be monitored in both, normal wheat and engineered wheat

Explanation:

Genetically engineered wheat crop means that the genome of the wheat is being manipulated by the techniques of biotechnology. Gene for the resistance to moths is introduced into wheat in order for plant to become protected. Determination of resistance should be performed via monitoring of control group (normal wheat, not resistance to moth) and engineered wheat (potentially resistant) and their comparation. Moth population should be decreased in the resistance plants.

The gene frequency for a dominant allele is 0.68 and the recessive allele is 0.39. What percent of the population has a homozygo
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

15.21 %

Explanation:

If we recall the basic formula of Hardy-Weinberg's equilibrium ; we have the following below:

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where;

p = frequency of the dominant allele in the population

q = frequency of the recessive allele in the population

p² = percentage of homozygous dominant individuals

q² = percentage of homozygous recessive individuals

2pq = percentage of heterozygous individuals

Given that p= 0.68 and q = 0.39

the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (q² ) will be

(0.39)² = 0.1521

= 0.1521 × 100

= 15.21 %

∴ the percentage of the population that has a homozygous recessive genotype = 15.21 %

Imagine that a toxin is introduced to the body and inhibits the establishment of the proton gradient in the intermembrane space.
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

ATP synthase would be unable to produce ATP

Explanation:

ATP synthase depends on the proton gradient in the intermembrane space to enable it to produce ATP. As a consequence of this, the toxin will make it inactive. Oxidative phosphorylation is now inhibited in this case, as opposed to substrate-level phosphorylation.

Pyruvate is a product of glycolysis, and it will not be affected by a toxin. NADH is very important in the establishing of a proton gradient, so it is expected that it would be unable to be oxidized due to the toxin. Protons produced in the conversion of NADH to NAD+ actually establish the proton gradient. If the gradient is absent, NADH is then not likely to be oxidized.
