Answer;

Heterozygote advantage occurs when heterozygotes have a higher fitness than do both homozygotes. In frequency-dependant selection, the fitness of a phenotype declines it it becomes too common in the population.

Explanation;

The heterozygotes have both alleles, which is needed for genetic variation. Heterozygotes are essential for there to be genetic variation in a population. In other words it is when When a single copy of a disease allele doesn't result in a disease but instead is good for the person or organism that carries it, we say that allele has a heterozygote advantage. For example a sickle cell trait, which protects against malaria in heterozygotes, but causes a deadly disease in homozygotes.

-Frequency-dependent selection occurs when the fitness of a genotype depends on its frequency. It is possible for the fitness of a genotype to increase (positively frequency-dependent) or decrease (negatively frequency-dependent) as the genotype frequency in the population increases.

A scientist notices that when she adds a small, water-soluble molecule to a dish of cells, the cells turn off transcription of a
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Enzyme-linked

Explanation:

The cell surface receptors that have intracellular domains associated with enzymes are called enzyme-linked receptors. The added molecule was water-soluble and cannot pass through the membrane to bind to intracellular receptors. Binding of the added molecule to the enzyme-linked receptor led to the activation of associated enzymes to generate the response (down-regulation of expression of the target gene).

Examples of enzyme-linked receptors include tyrosine kinase receptors. Binding of the signaling molecule to these receptors triggers phosphorylation of the intracellular domain which in turn transmits the signal to the cytoplasmic messenger.

Weight loss can occur when glucose is oxidized to CO2 rather than being stored as glycogen. The first step in glucose oxidation
lions [1.4K]
Increasing permeability of the inner mitochondrion membrane to protons uncouples proton transport with ATP synthesis. As ATP synthesis in oxidative phosphorylation across ATP synthase is dependent on the proton gradient, increasing permeability of the membrane would reduce the amount of ATP synthesized as less protons will flow through ATP synthase. ADP is thus not converted to ATP and there is high amounts of ADP and AMP. High amounts of ADP and AMP will activate the glycolytic pathways and hence actively PFK hence the answer would be C.

Microtubules and microfilaments are elongated structures that cross the cell, giving support to the cell, and carries organelles
Ierofanga [76]

Answer: Their supporting structure would be most likely the MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM of the multicellular organisms.

Explanation:

The musculoskeletal system found in multicellular organisms are made up of structures which provides support, protection and allows for various movements. These structures include:

--> Muscles

--> Cartilage

--> Ligaments

--> Tendons and

--> Joints

Furthermore, Microtubules and microfilaments are the major components of cytoskeleton. They are the structures that gives a cell it's shape and helps organise it's parts. As described in the question, they are elongated structures that cross the cell, giving SUPPORT to the cell, and carries organelles and objects throughout the cell.

Therefore, since the Microfilaments and Microtubules provides support and shape at the cellular level it can be most likened to the musculoskeletal system of multicellular organisms which performs the same functions.
