Answer:

Net Primary productivity

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, primary productivity is a term used for autotrophic organisms. It is the process by which these organisms like plants, green algae etc. make their own food using inorganic sources. However, they do not utilize all the matter they make from this process.

The NET PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY (NPP) is the amount of organic material that is available for transfer to the next trophic level after subtracting material used for respiration. This means that NPP is the amount available after removal of the one to be lost via respiration i.e. NPP = GPP - respiration.

A mutation creates a dominant negative allele of a particular gene. The normal allele of the gene encodes a protein that forms a
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

87.5% of the trimers in the cell will be inactive.

Explanation:

A monomer is a single subunit. Look at an easy comparison. If a monomer is a ball. For the protein to be functional, it needs to be a trimer .A trimer = 3 monomers joined / bound together with bonds. Therefore, if a monomer is a ball, we need 3 balls, we attach it together and that is the primer . if one ball becomes missing, that protein won't work .

In chemistry, a trimer is regarded as three molecules or ions of the same substance (that is, same type) which are associated together .

Double negative : Each gene has 2 alleles. So, for a positive protein, both allele needs to be same, let's say + means on. So for a x protein , if it's x+/x+ it means the protein is homozygous and active. If for some mutation, it's x+/x- , it's a heterozygous protein. Double negative means when it is x-/x- and this means the protein has lost is function . It's not functional at all.

The heterozygous cell will form one or more subunits has the mutant structure when the gene is expressed. From the question if there is a mutation in dominant negative allele, it will cause the inactivation of one trimer resulting in 87.5% inactive trimers for a heterozygous individual.

There are 87.5 % percent of the trimers present in the cell which will be inactive for a heterozygous individual, If at least one of the subunits has the mutant structure.

The probability for each individual subunit to be a mutant is 1/2

Gene codes for a protein that forms trimer so the percentage of the trimers present in the heterozygous individual is third power of 1/2 =1/8

1/8=0.125 will be active.

1- 0.125 will be inactive.

=0.875 will be inactive.

0.875 × 100= 87.5%

Therefore 87.5% will be inactive.

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

4. Thyroid hormone levels decrease, TRH level increase, PRL level increase

Explanation:

Surgical removal of Thyroid gland will lead to hypothyroidism.

Normally, the surgery is followed by maintenance dose of thyroxine to avoid side effects.

In the presence of hypothyroidism, however, the decreased thyroid hormone will lead to increase in thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH). increased TRH increases production of prolactin. (but less than that in prolactinoma)
