Answer:

The correct answer is- transcription regulation

Explanation:

Transcription regulation is a process by which a cell controls the conversion of DNA into protein-coding mRNA. Transcription regulation is important to conserve energy by making active proteins only when they are needed. It occurs both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

In prokaryotes, operons are found which have operator region that regulates the transcription of mRNA transcript having structural genes. Binding of repressor protein on operator inhibits the initiation of transcription.  

In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase requires transcription factors and several proteins to function therefore these factors regulate gene transcription in eukaryotes. So the right answer is transcription regulation.

For many generations, the following genotypic frequencies were observed in a large population of dinosaurs: 4 percent AA, 32 per
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

C) 19.7%

Explanation:

The new population distribution after climate change wiped out homozygous recessive dinosaurs is:

AA = \frac{4}{4+32}=\frac{1}{9}

Aa = \frac{32}{4+32}=\frac{8}{9}

The percentage of offspring of this new population that are homozygous recessive is given by:

P(Aa\ x\ Aa) = \frac{8}{9} *\frac{8}{9} =\frac{64}{81} \\P(aa) = \frac{1}{4}\\P(Aa\ x\ Aa) \cap P(aa) = \frac{64}{81}*\frac{1}{4} =0.197=19.7\%\\

19.7% of these newborn dinosaurs died

Naddik [55]

Answer:

The options:

What would be the next step in this experiment?

A. construct a hypothesis and record data

B. make observations and draw a conclusion

C. ask questions and construct a hypothesis

D. analyze the results and make a conclusion

The ANSWER should be D

D. analyze the results and make a conclusion

Explanation:

It should be D, the hypothesis has been proposed by her and she's left with conclusion on the experiment. From the type of exleriment, she has little observations to make since there's is a remote conclusion in a set time period.

If you were able to walk into an opening cut into the center of a large redwood tree, when you exit from the middle of the trunk
strojnjashka [21]
If you were to cross a large redwood tree, like for an example a sequoia, from the middle of the trunk you would first cross the annual rings, indicators of the trunk growth over the years, then after that you would cross the phloem, the ''piping'' of the tree responsible for the transport of water throughout the tree and in the end you would cross the tree's bark, the protective layer on surface of the trunk.

Two autosomal genes, J and K, are 60 map units apart. You perform the following testcross: J K / j k x j k / j k. At what freque
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

  • J K / j k = 20%
  • j k / j k = 20%
  • J k / j k = 30%
  • j K / j k = 30%                

Explanation:

To calculate the recombination frequency, we have to know that 1% of recombinations = 1 map unit = 1cm. And that the maximum recombination frequency is always 50%.

The map unit is the distance between the pair of genes for which every 100 meiotic products, one of them results in a recombinant one.

So, en the exposed example:

  • J and K are autosomal genes
  • J and K are separated by 60 M.U.
  • 60 M.U. means that there is 60% of recombination.

Cross)             J K / j k                    x                  j k / j k

Gametes) JK  Parental                                     jk, jk, jk, jk

                jk   Parental                                  

                Jk   Recombinant                          

                 jK   Recombinant

One map unit equals 1% of recombination frequency. This means that every 100 meiotic products, one of them is a recombinant one.

1 M.U. -------------- 1% recombination

60 M.U. ------------ 60% recombination

                              30% Jk  +  30% jK

100 M.U. - 60 M.U. = 40 M.U.

40M.U.--------------40 % Parental (Not recombinant)

                            20% JK   +   20% jk

Punnet Square)           JK       jk      Jk      jK

                          jk     JK/jk   jk/jk   Jk/jk   jK/jk

J K / j k = 20%

j k / j k = 20%

J k / j k = 30%

j K / j k = 30%
