Answer:

The concentration of chemical auto inducers increases with increase in population density

Explanation:

There is something known as Quorum sensing which is a sort of cellular communication in bacteria established through chemical signals. A bacterium is enabled to observe/monitor the environment and thus produce a widespread change in the species with in a community. These sensing processes are effective only when large numbers of cells are doing sensing controlled process together. A bacteria releases auto-inducers whose concentration increases when the population density of cells increase.

"When autoinducers produced by one bacterium cross the membrane of another, they bind to receptors in the cytoplasm. This autoinducer/receptor complex is then able to bind to DNA promoters and activate the transcription of quorum sensing-controlled genes. In this way, individual bacteria within a group are able to benefit from the activity of the entire group."

If the genotypic frequencies of AA, Aa, and aa are 0.6, 0.2, and 0.2, respectively, then the frequency of allele A is _____ and
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The frequency of allele A = 0.7

The frequency of allele a = 0.3

Explanation:

Assume that p = frequency of allele A ad q = the frequency of allele a

According to Hardy Weinberg equilibrium

p + q = 1  

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

rewona [7]

.......is secreted into the bloodstream, whereas _____ is secreted into mucus such as gastrointestinal fluid, colostrum, saliva, tears, and sweat:

a. Monomeric IgM; pentameris IgM

b. Monomeric IgA; dimeric IgA

c. Monomeric IgA; dimeric IgM

d. Dimeric IgA; monomeric IgA

Answer:

b. Monomeric IgA; dimeric IgA

Explanation:

IgA is a class of antibodies that are found mainly in body secretions. In sweat, tears, saliva, mucus, breast milk, and gastrointestinal secretions, IgA is secreted as a monomeric antibody. Smaller quantities of this class of antibodies are also present in blood and lymph. However, IgA is present in a dimeric form in the bloodstream. It makes up 10–15% of all antibodies in the blood. The main function of this class of antibodies is to give localized protection of mucous membranes against bacteria and viruses.
