Geneticists sometimes use the following test for the nullness of an allele in a diploid organism: If the abnormal phenotype seen

in a homozygote for the allele is identical to that seen in a heterozygote (where one chromosome carries the allele in question and the homologous chromosome is known to be completely deleted for the gene) then the allele is null. What is the underlying rationale for this test?

Answer:

There will be null activity for a gene within in the deletion, this means if a genotype has similar phenotype. This suggests that mutant allele and the allele with deletion has the same level of activity.

Explanation:

The limitation of such interpretation is that the phenotypes have the enzymatic activity according to a threshold level. This means that the mutant phenotype is visible till the enzymatic activity is lower than a threshold. If the level rises above the threshold the wild type phenotype is observed.

Answer:

b. by increasing the heart rate

c. by increasing the respiratory rate

Explanation:

Increased activity of skeletal muscles would require an increased supply of oxygen to these cells to sustain the muscle contraction. Muscle cells perform aerobic cellular respiration in the presence of oxygen and produce ATP molecules to be used during muscle contraction. Therefore, there is an increase in heart rate to pump sufficient blood to the skeletal muscles which in turn ensures enough supply of oxygen. Also, there will be an increase in the respiration rate to inhale the required oxygen.
