In pigs, the allele for a wavy, rough coat (R) is dominant to the allele for a soft, fine coat (r). A rough coat boar and a soft

coat sow mate. They produce several litters, 50% are rough coat and 50% are smooth coat. What were the genotypes of the parents?

Answer:

Genotype of  rough coat boar - Rr

Genotype of soft coat sow mate - rr

Explanation:

Rough coat boar must be heterozygous with one dominant allele (R ) and one recessive allele (r )

Genotype of rough coat boar - Rr

Genotype of soft coat sow mate – rr

Now if these two parents are crossed , the offspring produced are represented in the punnet square below –  

R r

r Rr rr

r Rr rr

Thus, 50 % of the offspring’s have rough coat (Rr) and 50 % of the offspring’s have smooth coat.

1. Do a pun-net square.
R r
r
r
2. The offspring would be Rr, rr, Rr, rr
3. 2 of them are heterozygous(Rr),which means they would be most likely rough coats
4. Two of them are homozygous for short hair (rr) which means they are going to be soft hair.
5. Your answer is
Rr, rr

1. The tropopause is
Masja [62]

Tropopause is the boundary between the troposphere and stratosphere.

Explanation:

  • Tropopause marks the transition region between troposphere and stratosphere.
  • As we move up from the Earths surface , the temperature gets colder but when we reach the tropopause the temperature becomes constant and the temperature does not fall further.
  • It is at a height of about 9Km at the polar region while at a height of 17 Km at the equitorial region.

Which of the following statements about peptide bonds are true? 1) A tetrapeptide contains five amino acid residues. 2) Peptide
Y_Kistochka [10]

The correct answers are:

2) Peptide bonds form from nucleophilic attack by an electron pair on an alpha - amino nitrogen atom on an alpha - carboxyl carbon atom of another amino acid and

4) Peptides are polymers of amino acids.

A peptide bond is an amide type of covalent chemical bond. It is formed between two amino acids:  C1 (carbon end) of one alpha-amino acid and N2 (nitrogen end) of another. Peptide bonds are the basis for the formation of a peptide chain and consequently protein.  Formation of peptide bond is a condensation process, meaning that when two amino acids combine and link, water molecule is released and dipeptide is a product of that reaction.

The kcat for Rubisco is 3 sec-1 How long does it takeone<br> subunit of Rubisco to do one reaction.
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

A subunit of Rubisco takes approximately 0.33 s to perform one reaction

Explanation:

The kcat it's a kinetic first order constant that related the properties of the enzyme substrate complexes in a mechanisms and represents the overall first order process of the transformation of the substrate-enzyme complex into product.

Also kcat can be seen as the turnover number of an enzyme, representing the maximum number of substrate molecules that the enzyme can transform into product per time unit and per active site.

If the kcat is 3 s^-1, it means Rubisco can catalyse the transformation of 3 substrate molecules per second.

So, the time that takes a single reaction, should be the inverse of kcat.

To see it more clearly, the time needed for a single reaction is the time observed divided by the number of reactions done during that time.

In other words:

3 reactions ----------- 1 s

1 reaction -------------- x

  • x=1 reaction/3 reactions.s^-1 = 1/kcat = 1/3 s ~ 0.33 s

So the time that takes one Rubisco subunit to do one reaction is approximately 0.33 s
