Discuss how defective G protein function is associated with cholera.

Biology

Dvinal [7]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

The function of G-Protein’s become defective and abnormal after the addition ADP-ribose to the G protein by the A sub unit. this phenomenon is called as ADP-ribosylation which result in the permanent activation of G-protein . When the G-Protein become active, the enzyme adenyl cyclase converts ATP into cAMP. Increase concentration in the cAMP blocks the transportation of sodium from the lumen into the bloodstream. the amount of Chloride and bicarbonate also increases. Due to the continuous increase of the ions, water moves into by osmosis from the bloodstream and cholera occurs.

In Drosophila, the genes for body coloration and eye size are on different chromosomes. Normal-colored bodies are dominant to eb

Yuri [45]

Answer:

225 flies

Explanation:

Let gene for body colour : A

Let gene for eye type : B

Parent 1 : normal body and normal eyes = AABB

Parent 2: ebony body and eyeless = aabb

F1 : AABB X aabb = AaBb ( all have normal body and normal eye )

F1 progeny is self crossed given that the two genes are on different chromosomes which means they show independent assortment:

AaBb X AaBb =

A_B_ = normal body, normal eyes = 9

aaB_ = ebony body, normal eyes = 3

A_bb = normal body, eyeless = 3

aabb = ebony body, eyeless = 1

Hence the ratio is 9 : 3 : 3 : 1

Out of the 400 flies:

(9/16) * 400 = 225 flies have normal body colour and normal eyes

What passes through a cell using passive transport?

Tanzania [10]

Passive transport is a movement ofbiochemicals and other atomic or molecularsubstances across cell membranes without need of energy input. Unlike active transport, it does not require an input of cellular energy because it is instead driven by the tendency of the system to grow in entropy. The rate of passive transport depends on thepermeability of the cell membrane, which, in turn, depends on the organization and characteristics of the membrane lipids andproteins. The four main kinds of passive transport are simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration and osmosis.
