Summarize the nitrogen cycle and it’s importance of proteins and DNA
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Nitrogen cycle works through various stages like, nitrogen fixation, nitrification, assimilation, ammonification, denitrification etc. It is a building block for protein and DNA

Explanation:

Nitrogen is an element abundantly found in the atmosphere, also its building block for proteins as well as nucleic acid i.e. DNA formation. In nitrogen cycle , the nitrogen is being prepared from inert nitrogen.  The nitrogen cycle has several processes like nitrogen fixation, in this the inert nitrogen is being converted to organic nitrogen with the help of certain micro-organism.

Nitrification, plants cannot absorb directly nitrogen so bacteria help the plants to convert the nitrogen into ammonia form in this stage. Assimilation, another stage in which plants starts absorbing various forms of nitrogen from the soil.i.e. nitrate, nitrite and ammonium. Ammonification, here plants and animals have nitrogen in there body after death various microbes help in decomposition in this stage. Denitrification, in this stage the return back of nitrogen takes place.

A simplified model of the human blood-type system has four blood types: a, b,ab and o. thereare two antigens, anti-a and anti-b.
Kay [80]
First calculate the probability of type AB, which is the remainder after subtracting types A, B and O.

P(AB) = 1-(0.34+0.12+0.5) = 1-0.96 = 0.04

Anti-b will react with types B and AB, so 
P(reaction) = P(B)+P(AB) = 0.12 +  0.04 = 0.16

Answer: For this person, the probability of reaction with anti-b is 0.16

Six fingered offspring are formed from normal parents, why?
Kruka [31]
Dominant' traits will actually disappear faster if they are disadvantageous.

Think about it: if everyone who has even a single copy of a particular allele is at a disadvantage (manifests the phenotype, in this case six fingers), then even single copies are selected against.

In the case of recessive traits, selection occurs only against homozygous carriers, who may be very rare if the allele itself is rare.

A concrete example would be something like Tay-Sachs disease. If the allele that causes this were dominant, every carrier would die before adulthood, and it would occur only as a very rare de novo mutation. But because it is recessive, it persists for now; heterozygous carriers have no disadvantage.

How is HIV is a modern-day driving force for human evolution?
juin [17]

Answer:

Testing positive for HIV means a high chance of death and a good chance of lower reproduction rates. But some people are immune to HIV, which makes them more evolutionarily fit, likely to live longer, likely to reproduce more, which would increase the frequency of the immune allele in the population. Over time, this increase in frequency of the gene that causes immunity could spread across the human race and cause it to evolve.
