A punnet square determines all of the ways in which alleles can combine. It may be used to predict ratios of offspring genotypes and phenotypes. However, Punnet squares cannot determine actual outcomes. They can only predict the possibility for things to happen. The exception to this takes place when the cross occurs with two homozygous dominant or recessive genes and the resulting offspring is either be 100% homozygous dominant or recessive.

Assume that you have 1 mL of a solution of amylase (an enzyme) at a concentration of 15 mg protein/mL. Calculate the volume of d

lidiya [134]

Answer:

42,5 mL

Explanation:

We need to use the serial dilution formula beacuse we start with a stock concentrate solution and we need to prepare a new less concentrated one.

$DF=\frac{Vi}{Vf}$

<u>DF in the dilution factor, Vi is the initial volume and Vf is the final volume.</u>

The first step is to have the same measurment unit so we need to convert 345 µg to mg.

we know that 1 µg equals 0,001 g, hence:

$345 µg = 0,345 mg$

now the final volume is 0,345 mg protein/ mL and the inital volume is 15mg protein/mL, both of them are in the same unit so we can use the formula

$DF= \frac{15mg protein/mL}{0.345mg protein/mL}$

$DF= 43,5 mg protein/ mL$

Now since the question said that we already have 1.0mL of the amylase stock solution we need to subtract that 1.0mL to the 43,5 mg protein/mL

$43,5mL-1,0mL = 42,5 mL$

So, we need 42,5 mL of diluting buffer if we want a final concentration of 345 µg protein/mL (0.345 mg protein/mL)

Name 2 differences between plant and animal cells.

Zanzabum

A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage and maintaining the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles. Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. Animal cells simply have a cell membrane, but no cell wall.
