Suppose that we study a gene that has been linked to coronary heart disease. We find in a pilot study that in subjects with the

C/ C genotype 20 events have occurred in 200 individuals over a period of 10 years, whereas in subjects with the T/ T genotype 30 events have occurred in 250 individuals in 10 years. Which genotype appears to be associated with a higher prevalence of heart disease?

Answer:

T/ T genotype

Explanation:

To know which genotype appears to be associated with a higher prevalence of heart disease, you must know which genotype appeared in the highest percentage in the population tested.

For this, we will do the following calculations.

  • C/C Genotype:

200 people = 100%

20 people = X

X = (20 * 100) / 200

X = 10%

This means that the C/C genotype appeared in 10% of the tested population.

Now we must to know the percentage of the T / T genotype, we must consider 200 of the 250 people tested.

  • T/T Genotype:

250 people = 100%

200 people = x

X = (200 * 100) / 250

X = 80%

----

200 people = 80%

30 people = X

X = (30 * 80) / 200

X = 12%

Thus, we can say that the T / T genotype appeared in a higher percentage within the tested population, being considered the genotype that seems to be associated with a higher prevalence of heart disease.

Natali [406]

Answer:

As we get older the number of taste buds decreases.

Explanation:

Gustatory cells or the taste buds contains the different sensory cells on the tongue. The papillae consists of all the taste receptors. The sweet, bitter, salty, umami and sour tastes are recognized by the receptors.

The different individuals have different taste because of the presence of the different taste buds. The number of the taste buds decreases the individual gets older. The children has more taste buds and can easily understand the taste of different things. Hence, Joshua dislikes the broccoli taste.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

Several organisms have a homologous protein (inherited from a common ancestor) that is highly similar at the amino acid level. Y
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The correct answer is: C. third nucleotide position.

Explanation:

  • Genes located on the chromosomes encodes for proteins.
  • A Gene is made up of a  Deoxyribonucleotide (DNA) sequence which is transcribed into the messenger Ribonucleotide (mRNA) sequence by the help of RNA polymerase.
  • This mRNA sequence is further translated into the amino acid sequence, that folds to form the functional protein, by the help of the Ribosome.
  • The Ribosome reads the mRNA sequence in the form of triplets (three nucleotide together) and each such triplet nucleotide codes for an amino acid.
  • Each such triplet nucleotide is known as a Codon.
  • The Genetic Code is a table which represents the  amino acid encoded by each codon.
  • However, the Genetic Code is degenerate in nature. This means that one amino acid can be coded by more than one codon.
  • This is because, among the the three nucleotide positions in a codon only the first two determine the specificity of the amino acid while the third nucleotide, also called the wobble nucleotide, is not specific. Presence of any nucleotide in the third position of the codon will not alter the amino acid encoded by the codon.
  • In the given question, organisms producing homologous protein have similar amino acid sequence but they vary in the corresponding nucleotide sequence of the gene which codes for the homologous protein.
  • This is because at the nucleotide level the variation lies in the wobble nucleotide position that occupies the third position in the codon.
