Solve it: which insulin mutations may result in disease? mastering biology

1 answer:

4 0

The mutations may be a substitution, deletion, inversion, or addition. The mutations in insulin may alter its active sites responsible for receptor binding, or the time taken for the insulin to be degraded (half-life). Mutation on insulin may cause diseases such as hyperproinsulinemia or hyperinsulinemia.

The presence of freckles is due to a dominant allele. four percent of the individuals in a particular population lack freckles.

vaieri [72.5K]

Let us assign the recessive allele for freckle to be f and the dominant F. According to the statement, we deduce that ff = 0.04.

The frequency of the recessive f allele is, therefore, is 0.2 (square root of 0.04 ).

Hardy-Weinburg p + q = 1

P + 0.2 = 1; p = 1- 0.2 = 0.8

Therefore using the Hardy-Weinburg equation of a population in equilibrium

P2+2pq+q2=1

Heterozygous individuals are;

2pq = 2*0.8*0.2 = 0.32

This is 32% of the population

No colonies, no growht.

Explanation:

The statement does not mention that apart from the GFP reporter gene, the plasmid contains ALSO the ampicillin resistance gene. This way, if you spread your traqnsformed cells on LB plates containing ampicillin, they will not be able to grow.
