To calculate the frequency of the heterozygote genotype (Pq) for this gene we must use the Hardy-Weinberg equation ( p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 ). This equation relies on the Hardy-Weinberg principle, a model in population genetics that states that the frequency of the alleles in a population is never changing, only the combinations (the genotypes) are changing.
If there are only two alleles (variations) of this gene in a population, then their frequencies should add up to 1 (100%). From this, we can calculate the frequency of the q allele.
p +q=1
0,3 +q=1
q= 1-0,3
q= 0,7
Now hat we have the frequency of the q allele we can use the HW equation to calculate the frequency of the heterozygotes.
0,09 + 2pq +0.49= 1
2pq +0,58= 1
2pq= 1-0.58
2pq=0,42
The freqency of the heterozygotes in this population is 0.42
Double fertilization is a complex fertilization mechanism of flowering plants. This process involves the joining of a female gametophyte with two male gametes. It begins when a pollen grain adheres to the stigma of the carpel, the female reproductive structure of a flower.
Answer:
C. glycosylation
Explanation:
The maturation-promoting factor (MPF) is a cell cycle checkpoint that stimulates the passage from G2 (prophase) to M phase (metaphase). MPF also determines that DNA replication during the S (synthesis) phase did not produce any mutations. MPF is inactivated by kinase phosphorylation and activated by specific phosphatases capable of dephosphorylating this protein. On the other hand, glycosylation is a posttranslational modification where a carbohydrate (i.e., a glycan) is added to a functional group of another molecule. Many proteins undergo glycosylation, thereby playing a critical role in regulating protein function.
Proteins is made up of a sequence of an amion group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom and a side chain bonded to the central carbon atom.
