A phagocytic cell has a mutation in a gene for a hydrolytic enzyme that renders the enzyme nonfunctional. What is the most likel

y effect of the mutation when this phagocytic cell ingests a pathogen
Biology

pshichka [43]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: The phagocyte’s ability to destroy the ingested pathogen is compromised and it will become inactive.

Explanation:

There are different hydrolytic enzymes. Lysozyme attacks cell walls of gram positive bacteria. Elastase is a protease. Collagenase attacks collagen, produced by some bacteria. Plasminogen activator is also a protease.

Loss of function of any one of these enzymes will reduce or prevent the breakdown of bacteria in the phagosome (vacuole) so that the phagocyte is inactivated.

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 6.8950.61 gm per mole

Explanation:

Given:

One form of hemoglobin is 0.324% Fe by mass

1 hemoglobin = 4 Fe

Solution:

Molar Mass of iron = 55.85

mass of 4 iron atom = 55.85 * 4 = 223.4 gms

0.324 % correspond to 223.4 gms

100 % correspond to = 223.4 *100/0.324

= 68950.61 gm

MM of haemoglobin = 68950.61 gms = 6.8 E4 gms

Deifferentiate between Catabolism and Anabolism.Explain with help of examples
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Anabolism builds molecules required for the body's functionality. The process of catabolism releases energy. Anabolic processes require energy. ... Examples of catabolic processes are proteins becoming amino acids, glycogen breaking down into glucose and triglycerides breaking up into fatty acids.

You discover a population of mustard plants and find it to be at Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium with respect to the R locus. Suppose
natulia [17]

Answer:

The fraction of heterozygous individuals in the population is 32/100 that equals 0.32 which is the genotipic proportion for these endividuals.

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg, the allelic frequencies in a locus are represented as p and q, referring to the alleles. The genotypic frequencies after one generation are p² (Homozygous for allele p), 2pq (Heterozygous), q² (Homozygous for the allele q). Populations in H-W equilibrium will get the same allelic frequencies generation after generation. The sum of these allelic frequencies equals 1, this is p + q = 1.

In the exposed example, the r-6 allelic frequency is 0,2. This means that if r-6=0.2, then the other allele frequency (R) is=0.8, and the sum of both the allelic frequencies equals one. This is:

p + q = 1

r-6 + R = 1  

0.2 + 0.8 = 1

Then, the genotypic proportion for the homozygous individuals RR is 0.8 ² = 0.64

The genotypic proportion for the homozygous individuals r-6r-6 is 0.2² = 0.04

And the genotypic proportion for heterozygous individuals Rr-6 is 2xRxr-6 = 2 x 0.8 x 0.2 = 0.32
