Answer:

A. Adding phosphate groups to target proteins

Explanation:

CDKs (cyclin-dependent kinases) are the protein kinases involved in regulation of the cell cycle. Cyclins are the regulatory proteins that serve to activate the cyclin-dependent kinases. The activity of various Cdks increases and then decreases as the cell proceeds through the cell cycle.

Binding of a specific CDK with its corresponding cyclin results in formation of a cyclin–Cdk complex. Cyclin–Cdk complexes serve to phosphorylate the target enzymes and other proteins. Phosphorylation activates some of these proteins while deactivating the others. For example, the protein p27 is degraded upon phosphorylation. Since p27 is one of the major inhibitor of cell division, the reduced levels of p27 makes the non-dividing cell s to enter the cell division.

In a population of tree frogs, the allele that causes yellow eyes (Y) is dominant over the allele that causes orange eyes (y). I

Alex787 [66]

Allele that causes yellow eyes (Y) is dominant over the allele that causes orange eyes (y)

Y = 85% = 0.85 and

y = 100% - 85% = 15% = 0.15

f(y) = square root of y = √y = √0.15 = 0.387

frequency of the allele that causes orange eyes = 0.387

Once we know the value of y, Y + y = 1

Putting the value of y, we get

Y = 1 – 0.387

Frequency of the dominant allele that causes yellow eyes = 0.61

malfutka [58]

Non carbohydrates refers to those food which are not carbohydrates, which means that, these food do not supply energy and one can not possibly grow fat by eating them too much. Examples of non carbohydrate foods are egg, meat, fish, poultry, etc.
Non carbohydrates foods usually play other roles in the human system other than providing energy.

What might account for the unusual results you obtained in the experiment in Part C? Select the two correct answers. Select the

irakobra [83]

Answer:

The correct options are B "The unusual F1 female is heterozygous for a reciprocal balanced translocation involving the chromosome with the apricot, bristle and clipped loci" and D "Independent assortment of non-compatible chromosome structures (i.e., translocated and normal chromosomes segregating together) in the F1 female led to the 90 eggs that aborted development"

Explanation:

The unexpected results obtained earlier can be attributed to the two factors listed above. At the time when meisois takes place, there is the process of independent assortment which leads to formation of zygotes. Due to the event of translocation, the eggs produced lacked some critical development genes.

Describe three main features inside a prokaryotic cell.

Art [367]

The three main features of a prokaryotic cell
We have its insides: 1. Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm is where its organelles are suspended. 2. Ribosomes. These ribosomes facilitate in manufacturing the cell’s proteins used in many cellular activities. 3. Plasmid. It is a tiny DNA molecule. 4. Nucleoid. The genophore of a prokaryotic cell where its genetical material are found.

Externally prokaryotic cells have: 1. Capsules. 2. Flagellum. A tail 3. Pili. A hair-like structure on its surface.
