LekaFEV [45]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Myostatin (also known as growth differentiation factor 8, abbreviated GDF-8) is a myokine, a protein produced and released by myocytes that acts on muscle cells' autocrine function to inhibit myogenesis: muscle cell growth and differentiation. In humans it is encoded by the MSTN gene.

Gerard lives in a tropical region where the average annual temperature is 77°F and the average annual rainfall is more than 100
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

insulated gloves

Explanation:

Answer options:

  • umbrellas
  • insulated gloves
  • raincoats
  • rubber boots

Explanation:

  • The temperature of the region is 77°F which is equal to 25°C.
  • 25°C is not harmful temperature for human skin.
  • The rainfall in the area is enough for the record of data of raincoats, umbrella and rubber boots.
  • So, insulated gloves is the answer.

In humans, Rh-positive individuals have the Rh antigen on their red blood cells, while Rh-negative individuals do not. If the Rh
bixtya [17]

Answer: 60%

Explanation:

In population genetics, the Hardy-Weinberg Principle states that the genetic composition of a population remains in equilibrium as long as no natural selection or other factors are active and no mutations occur.

The frequencies of the genotypes of an individual locus will be set to a particular equilibrium value.<u> It also specifies that these equilibrium frequencies can be represented as a simple function of the allelic frequencies at that locus</u>. In the simplest case, with a locus with two alleles A and a, with allele frequencies of p and q respectively, the principle predicts that <u>the genotypic frequency for the dominant homozygous AA is p^2, that of the heterozygous Aa is 2pq and that of the recessive homozygous aa, is q^2. The allele frequency of a is represented as p and the frequency of recessive allele is q.</u>

The three genotypes AA : Aa : aa appear in a ratio p² : 2pq : q². If we add them up, we get the unit:

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = (p + q)^2 = 1  

And p + q = 1

<u>Rh-positive genotypes are represented as AA (homozygous dominant) or Aa (heterozygous) since the presence of a single dominant allele is sufficient to express the phenotype. While Rh-negative genotypes are represented as aa. </u>

If 84% of the population is Rh-positive, that means that this percentage includes all those who are AA and Aa. Then 16% are aa.

F(aa)=q^2=0.16

then F(a)=q=0.4

And since p + q = 1, p + 0.4 = 1, then p is 0.6

We can also calculate the rest, then F(AA)=p^2= 0.36

So F(Aa)= 2pq = 2 x 0.6 x 0.4 = 0.48

Notice that 0.36 + 0.16 + 0.48 = 1

How many times larger is a eukaryotic cell than a prokaryotic cell
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The eukaryotic cell is 10 to 100 times larger than the prokaryotic cells.

Explanation:

The eukaryotic cell is 10 to 100 times larger than the prokaryotic cells. The prokaryotic cells are primitive, simpler in structure. The eukaryotic cells are complex in structure and have different adaptation for various cellular activities.  

All the cells have cytoplasm, cell membrane, nucleus. In prokaryotes, the nucleus is not well defined and no other membrane-bound organelles.

e.g. bacteria, archaea.

The diameter of prokaryotic cells is smaller than the eukaryotic cells. Because the transport of ions and cell division is faster in it. Its diameter ranges from 0.1 micrometers to 5.0 micrometers. While eukaryotic cell diameter is 10 to 100 micrometers.  

The small size of the prokaryotes is an advantage to its cellular processes whereas the eukaryotic cells are larger.  Because it has to adapt to the function of different cell organelles present in it.
