References Chapter 1: Problems Studies of existing cells to determine the minimum number of genes for a living cell have suggest

ed that 206 genes are sufficient. If the ratio of protein-coding genes is the same in this minimal organism as the genes of Escherichia coli (0.980), how many proteins are represented in these 206 genes.

Answer:

201.88 ≈ 202.

Explanation:

Genes are the functional segment of DNA that are responsible for the phenotype and genotype of the organisms. Different number of genes are present in different organisms.

The number of the genes that are sufficient in the living cell is 206.

The ratio of protein-coding genes in Escherichia coli is 0.98.

Number of proteins = No. of genes × Ratio of protein coding genes.

Number of protein = 206 × 0.98

Number of protein=201.88 ≈ 202.

Thus, the answer is 201.88 ≈ 202.

A gene on a chromosome lies close to another gene controlling a different trait. This indicates that the genes are _. The first
umka2103 [35]

My guess:

I do not know the options to the blanks, but I'd say that the answer to the first one is "strongly linked". Think of a chromosome as a phylogenic chart → 2 species that are beside each other are strongly linked, if compared to 2 species 3 spots apart form each other. So, 2 genes that are close to each other are strongly linked.

I do not know the options to the blanks, but I'd say the answer to the second one is epistasis → which is the interaction between two different genes (different means they're not linked alleles).

Hope it helped,

Explanation:

The large fish will most likely eat most of the white fish, and there will only be gray fish left. Since the large fish can't see the gray fish well, they catch some but quickly starve because of the lack of white fish. In the end, only gray fish are left.

What would happen to the proton gradient and ATP production after a drug has poisoned the enzyme that combines acetyl CoA and ox
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The proton gradient becomes weaker

Reduction in the amount of ATP produced.

Explanation:

The combination of acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate drives the formation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide + hydrogen (NADH). Poisoning the enzyme that aids this combination will result to lesser production of NADH which would lead to weakening the proton gradient and the reduction in the amount of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) produced.
