Uric acid is transported across epithelial cells in the kidneys by an organic acid transporter (OAT) membrane transport protein.

The presence of another organic acid, probenecid, causes a decrease in the uric acid transport rate. What characteristic of transporters is demonstrated by the decrease in uric acid transport in the presence of probenecid?

Answer:

Competition

Explanation:

Transportation of some molecules can not be through simple diffusion due to their size or other factors.

Therefore carrier proteins known as transporters are needed to facilitate their transportation.

Transporters exhibit or demonstrate characteristics such as competition,

During competition, presence of a certain molecule decreases the transportation of another molecule.

When Uric acid transportation is decreased due to the presence of probenecid is a good example of competition.

Dihybrid crosses
Darina [25.2K]

Explanation:

The phenotypes and genotypes of the progeny can be determined by a dihybrid cross of the parents.

The heterozygous male will have the genotype 'SSww' and the heterozygous female will have the genotype 'ssWW'.

When crossed, the F1 offsprings will have a hybrid genotype of 'SsWw'. These offsprings are heterozygous with spotted skin and wooly hair.

On self-crossing of the F1 hybrids, we find four different combinations of the alleles- SW, Sw, SW and sw. The probability of getting each of these combinations is 1/4.

Hence, the probability of any dihybrid type is 1 out of the 16 possible genotypes. Using Punnet square, we find

9 SSWW: 3 SSww: 3 ssWW : 1 ssww

This is the phenotypic ratio of the offsprings.

The ratio of the possible genotypes will be 1:2:1:2:4:2:1:2:1.
