In a population the homozygous dominant individuals make up 81% of the population, heterozygous individuals make up 18%, and hom

ozygous recessive individuals make up 1%. What is the frequency of the "p" allele?

Answer:

p=0.9

Explanation:

The frequency of the different genotypes is as follows:

  • AA = 0.81
  • Aa = 0.18
  • aa = 0.01

There are 2 alleles for this gene, the dominant allele <em>A</em> appears twice in the homozygous dominant genotype and once in the heterozygous.

Then, the frequency of the <em>A </em>allele, <em>p</em>, can be calculated as:

p= freq(AA) + freq(Aa)/2

p= 0.81 + 0.18/2

p=0.9

What can you determine about mechanical energy from this graph?​
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

What can be determined from the graph includes;

a) The Mechanical Energy M.E. = 1.0

b) The initial K.E. =  1.0, The initial P.E. = 0

c) The period for the kinetic energy = The period for the potential energy = 0.25

d) The frequency of oscillation of the kinetic and potential energy = 4 Hz

e) The object starts with its maximum velocity

Explanation:

The equation between kinetic energy, K.E., potential energy, P.E. and total mechanical energy, M.E. is given as follows;

M.E. = K.E. + P.E. = Constant

From the graph, we  have;

a) M.E. = K.E. + P.E. = 1.0

b) At time t = 0,

The initial K.E. = M.E. = 1.0, P.E. = 0

At time t = 0.125,

P.E. = M.E. = 1.0, K.E. = 0

c) The period for the kinetic energy, K.E. = The period for the potential energy, P.E. = 0.25

d) The frequency of oscillation of K.E. and P.E. = 1/T = 1/0.25 = 4 Hz

e) The object starts in motion with maximum velocity at time t = 0.

ANEK [815]

Answer:

The correct answer is : A.

Explanation:

  • This is because of the following reasons:
  1. Escherichia coli is a bacteria and hence is a prokaryote.
  2. The cloning of human (eukaryote) genes is done to obtain in-vitro protein expression which are to be used a pharmaceutical compounds.
  3. Although the phenomenon of Central Dogma takes place in both Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes, the mechanism is very different.
  4. Some of the differences includes:
  • Eukaryotic genes contain certain non-protein encoding sequences called the Intron sequences which needs to be removed from the transcribed mature mRNA by Spliceosome. This phenomenon is absent in prokaryotes as they do not possess introns. Hence, proper processing of eukaryotic mRNA is not possible in prokaryotes.
  • The mature eukaryotic mRNA has a 5' cap and 3' polyadenylated tail which is added by a capping enzyme and a poly-A polymerase enzyme to increase their stability. This will not be possible in a prokaryote as they lack these enzymes.
  • The translation of membrane proteins and secretory proteins is carried on by the ribosomes bound to the endoplasmic reticulum. This structure is absent in prokaryotes, hence they will be unable to produce a proper polypeptide sequence.
  • Finally, the eukaryotic proteins undergo various modifications after formation, like methylation, acetylation, etc. These reactions cannot be carried out in a prokaryote as they lack the respective enzymes.
  • Hence, we see a properly folded functional eukaryotic protein cannot be produced in a prokaryote.
