<h2>Frequency of allele </h2>
Explanation:
Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium is used to calculate the allelic as well as genotypic frequency
Allelic frequency of dominant and recessive allele is represented by p and q respectively whereas genotypic frequency of dominant genotype is represented by
and
respectively
Given:
H allele (p) = hairy heffalump (dominant)
h allele (q) = hairless heffalump (recessive)
36% of heffalump population is hairless represents the % of recessive genotype, hh (
) =36%
Calculation of frequency of the h allele (q) :
Frequency of genotype hh (
) will be: 36/100=0.36 or 0.6*0.6
Frequency of h allele (q) will be 0.6
Answer:
The source of Calcium (Ca⁺⁺) for the skeletal muscle cells is the sarcoplasmic reticulum, the main store of intracellular Ca⁺⁺.
Explanation:
Calcium (Ca⁺⁺) is an ion that plays an important role in muscle contraction, a process that requires high cytoplasmic concentrations of this ion to promote myofibrillary activity.
The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) -equivalent to the endoplasmic smooth reticulum- is an organelle that regulates the contractile activity of skeletal muscle. The two terminal cisterns of the SR attach to the T-tube, forming a triad, which surrounds the myofibrilla.
Once the muscle cell receives the signal to contract, the Ca⁺⁺ channels are opened and allow Ca⁺⁺ to enter the cell, promoting the exit of this cation from the SR and increased its cytoplasmic levels. This stimulates muscle contraction.
Answer:
<u>Temperature</u> is most likely the reason of protein unfolding (denaturation).
Explanation:
In the figure attached, coiled (3-dimensional) protein structure is changed to 2 dimensional structure in which protein is unfolded. This is most likely the result of heating proteins which destroys the hydrogen bonds and non-polar hydrophobic interactions that are necessary to establish the tertiary structure of proteins. Principally, increased temperature results in the increased kinetic energy of atoms within a molecule. If the amount of heat is sufficient to break the hydrogen bonds, protein molecule can unfold to 2D structure as shown in the figure.
