For this question, we will utilize a population of Martians that is in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium. The dominant Martian phenotyp

e is the possession of 2 antennae. In this population, 84 of the Martians have 2 antennae, while 16 lack antennae. What is the frequency of heterozygotes in this population?
a.o.16
b.0.4
c.0.6
d.0.24
d.0.48

Answer:

d.0.48

Explanation:

When a population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium the <u>genotypic </u>frequencies are:

freq (AA) = p²

freq (Aa) = 2pq

freq (aa) = q²

<em>p</em> is the frequency of the dominant <em>A</em> allele and <em>q</em> is the frequency of the recessive <em>a</em> allele.

In this population of 100 individuals, 84 martians have the dominant phenotype and 16 have the recessive phenotype.

Therefore:

q²=16/100

q² = 0.16

q=√0.16

q = 0.4

And p+q=1, so:

p = 1 - q

p = 1-0.4

p = 0.6

The frequency of heterozygotes is:

freq (Aa) = 2pq = 2 × 0.4 × 0.6

freq (Aa) = 0.48

What peptide would be made by translation from a synthetic mRNA made of the repeating dinucleotide CGCG…?
RSB [31]

Answer:

The question lacks options, the options are:

A. a polymer of arginine plus a polymer of alanine

B. the peptide Met–Arg–Ala–Arg–Ala…

C. a polymer of alanine: Ala–Ala–Ala…

D. a peptide containing alternating arginines and alanines

E. a polymer of arginine: Arg–Arg–Arg…

The answer is D

Explanation:

Translation is the second process of protein synthesis (gene expression) where the mRNA molecule produced during transcription is used as a template for the synthesis of amino acid sequences, which species a particular polypeptide.

The nucleotides in the mRNA are read in a group of three in the ribosome. This triplet nucleotide is called CODON. Each codon specifies a particular amino acid and a collection of all codons constitutes the GENETIC CODE. Hence, in a case where dinucleotide CG is repeated in a sequence. The sequence will read:

CGC GCG CGC GCG CGC GCG..........

In the genetic code, codon CGC and GCG codes for arginine and alanine amino acids respectively. Therefore, if the CG dinucleotide keeps repeating, the nucleotides will be read three at a time, and the amino acid sequence will alternate between those two amino acids (Arginine and Alanine).

So we would have a peptide sequence looking like:

Arg-Ala-Arg-Ala-Arg-Ala-Arg...........

In 1665, what structures did Robert Hooke observe through a microscope?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Cells

Explanation:

Hooke is well-known for first having discovered... I hesitate to say discovered so let's say observed... the first cells under a microscope. Under the naked eye, you cannot see cells, so his discovery was surprising and seminal.

Chromatin​ ​condenses​ ​into​ ​chromosomes
Aleks04 [339]

Answer: During prophase, the complex of DNA and proteins contained in the nucleus, known as chromatin, condenses. The chromatin coils and becomes increasingly compact, resulting in the formation of visible chromosomes. Chromosomes are made of a single piece of DNA that is highly organized.
