Imagine that each allele at the BXP007 locus is found at exactly the same frequency in a population. Since there are 8 possible

alleles at the BXP007 locus, what is the frequency of any one allele from this locus in this population?

Answer:

\frac{1}{8}

Explanation:

The variant forms of a gene are produced when they are located at the same position or gene locus on any chromosome.  

So frequency of an allele is calculated by dividing the number of times a particular allele is observed in a given population by the total number of copies of all the alleles that can occur at that genetic location for that population.  

Based on above explanation, the frequency of any one allele from this locus in this population is equal to

\frac{1}{8}

dezoksy [38]
Prokaryotic cells: lack membrane-bound organelles, relatively small - typically less than 10 μm in size. 

Both cell types: use ribosomes to synthesize proteins, contain DNA. 

Eukaryotic cells: complete copy of DNA stored in multiple chromosomes.

In particular, prokaryotic cells have no nucleus and no membrane-bound organelles, therefore their ribosomes float freely intracellularly. On the other hand, eukaryotic cells have nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Also, their DNA is bound to proteins and stored in the form of chromosomes in the nucleus.

butalik [34]

Answer:

The following is the formula to determine the size from minor spaces and ocular spaces on the stage micrometer:  

Size = Number of minor spaces * 10 micrometer / Number of ocular spaces

A = Number of minor spaces is 2 and the number of ocular space is 1,

Size = 2 * 10 / 1 = 20 micro micrometer. Thus, the size of a bacterium is 20 micrometers.  

B = Thus, it can be said that the size of the bacterium is almost 4 times bigger in comparison to a human red blood cell, which is 6 micrometers in diameter.

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation:

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum differs from the rough endoplasmic reticulum in not having ribosomes on its surface. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) extends from the rough ER and forms a network of membrane tubules. The function of the smooth ER is to serve as a site for the synthesis of lipids, fatty acids, and steroids such as estrogens and testosterone.

Enzymes for the synthesis of these diverse biomolecules are present in smooth ER. The smooth ER present in the muscle cells is called the sarcoplasmic reticulum. It stores the calcium ions which are released into the sarcoplasm of muscle cells during muscle contraction.
