en mutation will become fixed in this population? Select one:a. 1/1200b. 1/100c. 1d. 1/300e. 1/600

Answer:

E. 1/600

Explanation:

Hint:

The probability of fixation of a new neutral mutation is 1/(2N)

Given N as 300

= 1/(2×300)

=1/600

Therefore,

1/600 gives a sure fixation of one allele from the large population

Which of the following best describes the mechanism by which steroid hormones control gene expression? View Available Hint(s) Wh
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Steroid hormones that enter the cell activate receptors. These hormone-receptor complexes then bind HREs and influence gene expression.

Explanation:

Mechanism of action of steroid hormones is as follows:

  • Steroid hormone enters cell and bind to the receptor.
  • Translocation of activated receptor- ligand complex into nucleus.
  • This complex then bind to another receptor on the chromatin.
  • Steroid receptors form dimers.
  • Act on DNA
  • These hormone-receptor complexes then bind HREs and influence gene expression.
  • Augmentation or Suppression of transcription.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
