Red foxes have three different types of coat color: red, cross, and black/silver. These coat colors are controlled by a single l

ocus with two alleles, R and S. The alleles are incompletely dominant, which means that a combination of them produces a third phenotype in which both are expressed. Suppose you went to Yellowstone National Park and counted how many foxes you saw of each color-phase. You see 58 red-phase (RR), 32 cross-phase (RS), and 10 black/silver-phase (SS) foxes. Given your data, can you estimate the frequency of the R allele?

Answer:

74%

Explanation:

The frequency in such cases (diallelic cases) is estimated by following formula which is attached in the image:

So as per our question, the frequency of the "R allele" as per data given below will be as under:

58 red-phase (RR)

32 cross-phase (RS)

10 black/silver-phase (SS) foxes

Total plants = 58 + 32 + 10 = 100

f(R) = 58 x 2 + 32/ 2 (58+32+10)

    = 116 + 32 / 200

     = 148/200

     = 0.74 i.e. 74%

 “The outer energy levels are full, but that doesn’t mean the inner ones are,” says a friend. How would you respond?
Anton [14]

He is WRONG

Explanation:

Any atom at the ground state has its orbital levels fill from the bottom (close to the nucleus) – up. The inner orbitals are of lower energy state and fill first because the atoms ‘likes’ to exist in the low energy and more stable state. Only when the atom is in an excited state do some of the electrons in the lower orbital levels shift to higher unfilled orbitals.

Tau is a microtubule-associated protein that plays a key role in the development of certain brain disorders. To analyze Tau expr
telo118 [61]

Answer:

1. transcription of Tau DNA in different directions.

4. different chemical modifications of Tau protein.

Explanation:

Tau gene transcribe in different direction which depends upon the animal age. This happens because at different age and developmental stage, animal produce different RNA binding proteins which leads to formation of alternative splice forms. This reaction is strengthen by the addition of phosphate and sugar molecules which again depending on developmental stage and time.

Identify the mismatched pair. identify the mismatched pair. carrier proteins — provide transport recognition proteins — identify
Mrac [35]

Answer;

The mismatched pair is;

C) receptor proteins — bind with enzymes

Explanation;

- A receptor protein is a protein molecule that receives chemical signals from outside a cell. When such chemical signals bind to a receptor, they cause some form of cellular/tissue response, e.g. a change in the electrical activity of a cell.

-They are generally trans-membrane proteins, which bind to signaling molecules outside the cell and subsequently transmit the signal through a sequence of molecular switches to internal signaling pathways. There are two types of receptors: internal receptors and cell-surface receptors.

Connect the importance between meiosis and the process of sexual reproduction. Is it possible to survive without your reproducti
Aleksandr [31]
It must be known that there is an interdependent relationship between meiosis and sexual reproduction. During sexual reproduction, meiosis generates a genetic variation in the offspring because it randomly shuffles genes across chromosomes and then randomly segregates half of those chromosomes into each gametes. These two gametes or sex cells then fuse randomly to form a new organism. One of the key factors in evolutionary fitness and biological diversity is genetic variation. This can be made possible through reproductive cells undergoing meiosis since such process has specialized sex cells split and multiple after copulation.

To answer the question if is it possible for a human to survive without a reproductive system, the answer is yes.

Reproductive organs of both men and women are vital to create a child. But it must be noted that both can live without them. There are situations that sometimes necessitates the removal of such organs especially if he or she is inflicted with cancer or other diseases.
