You discover a population of mustard plants and find it to be at Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium with respect to the R locus. Suppose

that there are two alleles at this locus and the frequency of one of those alleles (the r-6 allele) is 0.2. Of the individuals that carry at least one r-6 allele, what fraction are heterozygotes?

Answer:

The fraction of heterozygous individuals in the population is 32/100 that equals 0.32 which is the genotipic proportion for these endividuals.

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg, the allelic frequencies in a locus are represented as p and q, referring to the alleles. The genotypic frequencies after one generation are p² (Homozygous for allele p), 2pq (Heterozygous), q² (Homozygous for the allele q). Populations in H-W equilibrium will get the same allelic frequencies generation after generation. The sum of these allelic frequencies equals 1, this is p + q = 1.

In the exposed example, the r-6 allelic frequency is 0,2. This means that if r-6=0.2, then the other allele frequency (R) is=0.8, and the sum of both the allelic frequencies equals one. This is:

p + q = 1

r-6 + R = 1  

0.2 + 0.8 = 1

Then, the genotypic proportion for the homozygous individuals RR is 0.8 ² = 0.64

The genotypic proportion for the homozygous individuals r-6r-6 is 0.2² = 0.04

And the genotypic proportion for heterozygous individuals Rr-6 is 2xRxr-6 = 2 x 0.8 x 0.2 = 0.32

Which structure is labeled X in the diagram below?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Diagram is attached.

Capsid protein is a form of structural protein which usually forms part of a complex which later produces protective shell around the nucleic acid in a virus. It is also referred to as coat protein or head protein.  

Capsid acts as a distinguishing feature for identifying an integrated viral genome, plasmids and other genetic material of viruses. In fact, viruses are termed as organisms that encode capsid proteins.  

Hence, option D is correct

Hershey and Chase used radioactive isotopes to label different parts of the phage. They grew one batch of phage in the presence
AlekseyPX

The sulphur would lable the capsule and the phosphorous the nucleic acid.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Hershey and Chase experiment included growing of the pages in two batches, one in presence of 35S and other in presence of 32P. They then infected bacterial cells with these phages, cleaned them and then centrifuge the cells to isolate the marked elements in bacterial cells.

This was done to isolate which part of the phage is actually infective. Sulphur being a part of the proteins will mark the capsule whereas DNA having the phosphate bridges will be marked by 32P.
