A Xw+m+Xwm female was mated to a XwmY male. Out of 1000 total F1 progeny there were 230 flies that were otherwise wild type with

white eyes and 240 flies that were otherwise wild type with miniature wings. What is the distance between the genes for eye color and wing length?

In order to calculate the distance between two alleles/genes that are found in the same chromosome, we need to know how often crossing-over happened (recombination frequency). We know from the text that white eyes were linked to miniature wings and that wild type eyes were linked to wild type wings, so any phenotype that's contrary to these parent combinations are a result of crossing-over. We know then that 230 flies + 240 flies were a result of such recombination. To calculate the recombination frequency we only need to divide these flies (total of recombinant flies) by the total of flies in the offspring and turn it into percentage.
\frac{230+240}{1000}=0.47
0.47*100%=47%
47 map units is the distance between the genes <span>for eye color and wing length.</span>

When testing the temperature of catalase, why did the enzyme catalase work best at 37°C? (Select all that apply.)
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The correct answers are: B) Catalase works best at human body temperature, C) Normal human body temperature is 98.6°F, which equals 37°C.

Explanation:

Catalase is an enzyme found in our bodies that has the important task of <u>breaking down hydrogen peroxide</u>, a molecule that is very toxic. For catalase to work at its optimus speed, it need the body to have a temperature of 37° celsius -98.6°F-, which is what we normally call <em>human body temperature</em>. If the temperature rises or falls below body temperature, catalase will still work but at a much slower rate, until it stops working completely.

Not all enzymes work best at human body temperature, some enzymes reach their optimus state at higher or lower temperatures; but it is important to remember that enzymes are proteins, and proteins denaturalize when the temperature becomes to high, making them lose their shape and function.

Mendel carried out his research on garden peas. You should remember that he used seven pairs of traits. Modern geneticists have
Goshia [24]

Answer:

A. the two genes on chromosome 1 are more than 50 mu apart.

Explanation:

Two or more genes present on the same chromosomes are the linked genes. Linked genes do not assort independently and do not exhibit crossing over. Therefore, the linkage of genes results in deviations from Mendel's law of independent assortment. However, if the linked genes are present far from each other on the same chromosome, they may exhibit crossing over.

The greater the distance between the linked genes, the higher are the chances of crossing over. Crossing over of linked genes would result in some of the progeny to have the new gene combinations as it occurs during an independent assortment of two genes. Therefore, Mendel observed an independent assortment of two genes present together on chromosome 1 since they were present far apart from each other (more than 50 mu apart).

MAXImum [283]
<span>The specific heat of the metal is 0.5 cal/ (0C.g). This means the energy needed is 0.5 cal to raise the heat of 1 gram of metal by 1 degree C. Therefore, the energy needed to raise 100 g of the metal by 20 degrees C is:
0.5 * 20 * 100 = 1000 cal.

A (n) inhibitor has a structure that is so similar to the substrate that it can bond to the enzyme just like the substrate. 2. a
Studentka2010 [4]
The answers are as follows:
1. <span>An inhibitor has a structure that is so similar to the substrate that it can bond to the enzyme just like the substrate: t</span>his is called competitive inhibitor. A competitive inhibitor will compete with the substrate for the active site of the enzyme and bind to the active site, thus incapacitating the substrate from binding to the active site.
2.  An inhibitor binds to a site on the enzyme that is not the active site: this is called non competitive inhibitors. Non competitive inhibitors bind to other site in the enzyme which is not the active site of the enzyme. The binding of the inhibitor changes the conformation of the enzyme as well as the active site, thus making it impossible for the substrate to bind to the enzyme effectively.
3. <span>usually, a(n) inhibitor forms a covalent bond with an amino acid side group within the active site, which prevents the substrate from entering the active site or prevents catalytic activity: this is called irreversible or permanent inhibition. Permanent inhibitors form covalent bonds with the enzyme and prevent substrate from binding to the enzyme.
4. T</span><span>he competitive inhibitor competes with the substrate for the ACTIVE SITE on the enzyme: The active site of an enzyme is the place where the substrate normally bind in order to activate a enzyme. Competitive inhibitors are those inhibitors that compete with the substrate for the active site of the enzyme and prevent the substrate from binding there.
5. W</span><span>hen the noncompetitive inhibitor is bonded to the enzyme, the shape of the ENZYME is distorted. The non competitive inhibitors are those inhibitors that bind to other places in the enzyme instead of the active site. The binding of the non competitive inhibitor usually distort the shape and the conformation of the enzyme thus preventing the substrate from binding to it effectively.
6. E</span><span>nzyme inhibitors disrupt normal interactions between an enzyme and its SUBSTRATE. The principal function of enzyme inhibitor is to prevent the substrate from binding to the appropriate enzyme. This is usually done in the human system in order to regulate the activities of enzymes.</span>

How is the message from the brain sent in response to the stimuli?
ivolga24 [154]
When a stimulus is being detected, this stimulus is being sent to the brain through the sensory neuron, going to the spinal cord then to the brain. The brain then interprets these stimuli, and responds to it using the motor neurons. These are the neurons that are responsible in our actions depending on the stimuli we are exposed to. Hope this helps.
