A tropical medicine specialist studies malaria resistance in two countries. The scientist finds an allele of a particular gene t

hat results in malaria resistance when heterozygous. The allele is at very high frequency in both countries. Oddly, in one country there is very high linkage disequilibrium with nearby genes, while in the other country there is linkage equilibrium. What might explain these findings

Answer:

Population structure due to the geographic distances that separate both countries

Explanation:

Linkage disequilibrium (LD) can be defined as a non-random association between different alleles (<em>loci</em>) observed in a population. The <em>loci</em> are in LD due to the observed frequencies are statistically higher or lower than it is expected if these nucleotide sequences were independent. LD may be due to different factors which include non-random mating, recombination, genetic drift and population structure.

choli [55]
A: Incomplete dominance!

Incomplete dominance is when a dominant allele doesn’t completely mask the effects of the other. The organism, as a result, will show a blending of both.

horsena [70]

Answer:

a.Many mitochondrial genes resemble proteobacteria genes, while the genes in the chloroplast resemble genes found in some photosynthetic bacteria.

c.Mitochondria and chloroplasts both have their own circular DNA and 70S ribosomes that are similar to those found in bacteria.

d.Mitochondria and chloroplasts replicate by a process similar to mitosis.

Explanation:

Endosymbiotic theory states that mitochondria and chloroplast which are organelles of eukaryotic cells were once independently living micro-organisms but with due course of time eukaryotic cells engulfed them and they become an integral part of these eukaryotic cells.

The resemblance between mitochondrial genes with those of proteobacteria and chloroplast genes with photosynthetic bacteria strongly support endosymbiotic theory. Apart from this, the presence of their own DNA that too circular just like prokaryotic microbes and 70 S ribosomes also support this theory. Also just like prokaryotic cells, before cell division mitochondria and chloroplasts undergo replication by means of a process known as binary fission.

Answer:

D) The lac operon will function normally.

Explanation:

  • The promoter area can be described as the area that causes the transcription to initiate for a particular gene. Promoters may be near the genes from which they initiate transcription or they may display multiple scenes upstream.
  • The lock operon works normally because the promoter area can still enable transcription on many base pairs. Detects repression promoter and works normally.
  • so correct option is D) The lac operon will function normally.
