With a BB homozygote, what is the chance of a gamete having the B allele? The b allele?

Biology

5 0

Answer:

With a BB homozygous the probability of a gamete having the B allele is 100%, and no chance of having the b allele.

Explanation:

For a given trait, B represents the dominant allele, while b is the recessive one. The fact that an individual has a homozygous (dominant) form for this trait means that their homologous chromosomes contain the B allele and, therefore, his gametes can only have the B allele.

In the case that the individual was heterozygous, the chances of having a gamete with B or b would be 50:50.

A) genetic bottleneck.

B) sexual selection.

C) habitat differentiation.

D) founder effect.

The RIGHT ANSWER IS D)

D) founder effect.

Explanation:

The founder effect refers to a loss in genetic variation due to formation of a new population from few number of individuals out of a larger population.

Correctly identify each of these definitions or examples as either depolarization or hyperpolarization of the plasma membrane. 1
natulia [17]

Answer:

  1. hyperpolarization
  2. depolarization
  3. hyperpolarization
  4. depolarization
  5. hyperpolarization
  6. depolarization
  7. depolarization

Explanation:

The resting membrane potential is balanced by ion leakage and ion pumping, to get an electrical signal started the membrane potential has to lose its balance. This starts with a membrane channel opening for Na+ since Na+ concentration is higher outside the cell, ions will rush into the cell. This will change the relative voltage inside the cell. The resting potential has a voltage of -70 mV, the sodium cation entering the cell cause it to become less negative. <em>This is known as depolarization.</em>

The concentration gradient for Na+ will continue to enter the cell making the voltage to become positive reaching +30 mV. At the same time, this happens, other voltage-gated channels are also opening, a concentration gradient acts on K+, as well, as it leaves the cell, it takes a positive charge with it making the membrane potential to move back to its resting voltage of -70 mV. <em>This is called repolarization. </em>

For potassium ions to reach equilibrium the membrane voltage needs to be below -70 mV, this leads to a period of <em>hyperpolarization</em> that occurs while the K+ channels are open.

I annexed an image that illustrates this action potential process.

<em>Considering the information given during depolarization there's an increase in the number of sodium leak channels (7) making the inside of the cell more positive (2) increase in the membrane potential (4), this also implies a decrease in the extracellular concentration of potassium (6)</em>

<em>Meanwhile, during hyperpolarization an increase in the extracellular concentration of potassium (3) decreases the membrane potential (1) making the inside of the cell more negative (5).</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!<em>       </em>
