Complete the following statements:

How is the sun’s energy passed along in an ecosystem?

Katen [24]

The gene frequency for a dominant allele is 0.68 and the recessive allele is 0.39. What percent of the population has a homozygo

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

15.21 %

Explanation:

If we recall the basic formula of Hardy-Weinberg's equilibrium ; we have the following below:

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where;

p = frequency of the dominant allele in the population

q = frequency of the recessive allele in the population

p² = percentage of homozygous dominant individuals

q² = percentage of homozygous recessive individuals

2pq = percentage of heterozygous individuals

Given that p= 0.68 and q = 0.39

the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (q² ) will be

(0.39)² = 0.1521

= 0.1521 × 100

= 15.21 %

∴ the percentage of the population that has a homozygous recessive genotype = 15.21 %

Discussion/Conclusion

NISA [10]

Answer:

Due to small in size.

Explanation:

Some organelles such as nucleus, mitochondria and Golgi bodies can't be seen because they are too small in size and near to the limit of the microscope. Organelles present in plant cell are nucleus, mitochondria and Golgi, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, one big vacuole, cell membrane and cell wall whereas organelles present in animal cell such as nucleus, mitochondria and Golgi bodies, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, lysosomes, several small vacuoles and cell membrane. In animal cell centriole and lysosomes are present and absent in plant cell while in plant cell, cell wall and one large vacuole present in the center of the nucleus and these organelles are absent in animal cell. Plant and animal cells are eukaryotic because they have organelles and surrounded by membrane.

Need a hypothesis for “How are proteins built from RNA”

Dima020 [189]

Hi!

Hypothesis:

<em>Proteins are built from the translation of messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules</em>

RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is a structure that is similar to DNA, except that it exists as a single strand, consists of a ribose sugar instead of a deoxyribose sugar and has the base uracil (U) instead of thyamine (T).

RNA is generated through transcription of the DNA molecule, resulting in a <em>complementary </em>molecule of the template DNA strand. For instance, if the sequence of the DNA was:

ATGCGCAGTTATTGCGAT

The corresponding RNA sequence will be:

UACGCGUCAAUAACGCUA <em>(complementary with U instead of T)</em>

<h3><u>From RNA to Protein</u></h3>

The RNA molecule in our case is known as the mRNA. After transcription the mRNA molecule is transported to the cytoplasm, where a ribosome binds to it for another molecule to translate the sequence. This translation is mediated by an RNA molecule known as the tRNA molecule which enters the ribosome to catalyze the reaction.

These molecules identify a sequence of 3 bases (codon) and for specific codon sequences, the tRNA allocates specific amino acid. For instance, for the codon <em>UCA</em>, the tRNA will allocate a <em>Serine residue.</em>

This translation process starts at specific three base sequences, known as start codons, and terminates at specific three base sequences known as stop codons.

In this manner, a sequence of amino acids respective to the mRNA codon sequence is synthesized, and as we identify proteins as chains of amino acids that are covalently linked together through peptide bonds, we can clearly see that proteins are built directly from RNA, and indirectly from DNA.

Hope this helps!

Cell division seems to be limited by the length of chromosomal structures called ____________.

svet-max [94.6K]

The answer is chromosomes. The chromosome contains the DNA nuclei. It contains all the genetic material of the parents.It is often duplicated in the cell metaphase of the cell division. Chromosomes differ from one organism to another. They are often visible under the microscope.
