Answer:

The correct answer is - 0.084

Explanation:

Sickle cell anemia is a autsmal recessive blood disorder of RBCs where RBC shape altered to the sickle shape or cresecent moon that obstruct and damage the veins and artries.

Normal allele is represented by - HbA - p

sickel cell allele is represented by - HbS - q

genotype frequency of normal allele HbA in the population = p2

genptype frequency of HbAHbS in the population = 2pq

genotype frequency of autosomal recessive HbS = q2 = 0.007 (given)

So, the allelic frequency of the recessive allele =

q =  √ 0.007 = 0.08366 or 0.084

Place these events in the correct order of occurrence in the muscle contraction: End plate potential triggers an action potentia
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

1. Acetylcholine binds to receptors on the motor end plate

2. Ligand-gated channels open leading to depolarization

3. End plate potential triggers an action potential  

4. Transverse tubules convey action potentials into the interior of the muscle fiber

5. Calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum

6. Calcium ions bind to troponin, which then moves tropomyosin

Explanation:

Acetylcholine (ACh) is a signaling molecule (neurotransmitter) that binds to receptors on muscle cells. This binding triggers the opening of ligand-gated sodium channels, thereby ions enter into muscle cells, which causes the depolarization of the sarcolemma and thus promotes the release of Ca2+ ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The myoneural junction, also known as the motor endplate, is the site of synaptic contact between a motor axon and a skeletal muscle fiber. The endplate potential is the voltage that produces the depolarization of muscle fibers when ACh molecules bind to their receptors in the cell membrane. This depolarization spreads in the sarcolemma through transverse tubules (T tubules​) and thus generates an action potential. Finally, this action potential induces the release of Ca2+ in the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which activates troponin protein and induces muscle contraction.

Nucleotides can be radiolabeled before they are incorporated into newly synthesized DNA and, therefore, can be assayed to track
adoni [48]

Answer:

e. infection causes lymphocytes to divide more rapidly

Explanation:

The cell cycle includes interphase and M phase which in turn together produce daughter cells from the existing parent cells. DNA replication occurs during the S phase of interphase to ensure that the daughter cells obtain the identical DNA present in the parent cell.

Lymphocytes are one of the types of white blood cells and are involved in cell-mediated and antibody-mediated immune responses. These cells are present in the blood as well as in lymphatic tissues. During the given experiment, lymphocytes exhibited a higher rate of incorporation of labeled nucleotide after the introduction of a pathogen in the culture. This suggests that the introduction of pathogen triggered the cell division in lymphocytes to produce more lymphocytes to fight the infection.
