In humans, Rh-positive individuals have the Rh antigen on their red blood cells, while Rh-negative individuals do not. If the Rh

-positive phenotype is produced by a dominant gene (A), and the Rh-negative phenotype is due to its recessive allele (a), what is the frequency of the Rh-positive allele if 84% of a population is Rh-positive?A. 0.04.B. 0.16.C. 0.48.D. 0.60.E. 0.84.

Answer:

D. 0.60

Explanation:

If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the genotypic frequencies are:

  • freq AA = p²
  • freq Aa = 2pq
  • freq aa = q²

<em>p</em> is the frequency of the Rh positive allele (A) and <em>q</em> is the frequency of the Rh-negative allele (a).

If 84% of the population is Rh-positive, then 16% is Rh-negative and has the genotype <em>aa</em>. Therefore:

q² = 0.16

q = √0.16

q=0.4

And because p+q=1,

p = 1 - 0.4

p = 0.6

The frequency of the Rh-positive allele is 0.6

The hormones secretin and cholecystokinin target the pancreas, ________, and ________ to release pancreatic juice and bile into
elixir [45]

Answer: The hormones secretin and cholecystokinin target the pancreas, stomach, and gallbladder.

Explanation:

The duodenum secretes two additional hormones. Cholecystokinin (CCK), like enterogastrone, is secreted in response to the presence of fat in the chyme. CCK stimulates the contractions of the gallbladder, injecting bile into the duodenum so that fat can be emulsified and more efficiently digested. The other duodenal hormone is secretin. Released in response to the acidity of the chyme that arrives in the duodenum, secretin stimulates the pancreas to release bicarbonate, which then neutralizes some of the acidity.

g Indicate true (T) and false (F) statements below regarding cytokinesis in animal cells. Choose the correct answer represented
frozen [14]
<h2>Cytokinesis in animal cells</h2>

Explanation:

  • The force for cytokinesis is generated by kinesin motors on microtubule bundles that form the contractile ring:This statement is false because cytokinesis in animal cells starts with the assembly of contractile ring,contractile band consists of actin and myosin(microfilaments) which catalyse cleavage furrow formation
  • As the contractile ring constricts, its thickness increases to keep a constant volume:This statement is false because thickness remains constant
  • The midbody forms from bundles of actin and myosin: This statement is false because contractile ring forms bundles of actin and myosin whereas midbody is formed from microtubules
  • Local activation of Ran GTPase triggers the assembly and contraction of the contractile ring:This statement is false because local activation of Rho mediates profilin binding to actin and helps in assembly and contraction of contractile ring

Strawberry DNA Extraction lab What was the purpose of the Sodium Chloride? Include a discussion of polarity and charged particle
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Sodium chloride removes proteins from DNA and helps in DNA precipitation.

Explanation:

The Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is negatively charged due to the highly polar phosphate groups that make up the phosphate backbone. The molecules of water are also highly polar and they have positive charge, thereby water molecules interact with the negative charges of the DNA. The sodium chloride generates temporary attraction forces between sodium (positive) ions and the DNA backbone (negative), thereby DNA can be disassociated from the aqueous layer. Moreover, sodium chloride helps to remove proteins (histones) that bound to DNA and also helps to maintain proteins in the aqueous layer.
