The instructions for making proteins are coded in the (cytoplasm / DNA / endoplasmic reticulum / nucleus) of a cell. In a eukaryotic cell, these instructions are located in the (cytoplasm / DNA / endoplasmic reticulum / nucleus).
Answer:
The instructions for making proteins are coded in the (cytoplasm / DNA / endoplasmic reticulum / nucleus) of a cell. In a eukaryotic cell, these instructions are located in the (cytoplasm / DNA / endoplasmic reticulum / nucleus).
Explanation:
The genetic code is contained in DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid. This is usually the same among most organisms, save some RNA viruses. But in eukaryotes, the DNA is in the nucleus, whereas in prokaryotes the DNA is in the "nucleoid region", or a twisted up section near the middle of the cell.
The instructions for making proteins are coded in the DNA of a cell. In a eukaryotic cell, these instructions are located in the nucleus.
What is DNA?Deoxyribonucleic acid is a polymer made up of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix that contains genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth.
it is also involved in reproduction of all known organisms and viruses. Nucleic acids include DNA and ribonucleic acid.
The information molecule is DNA. It stores instructions for the production of larger molecules known as proteins.
These instructions are stored in the nucleus of each of your cells and are distributed across 46 long structures known as chromosomes.
These chromosomes are composed of thousands of shorter DNA segments known as genes.
DNA is a linear molecule made up of four different types of smaller chemical molecules known as nitrogenous bases.
Thus, DNA is involved in coding protein and is usually located in nucleus.

Based on the objective you should feel comfortable calculating expected genotype frequencies when given observed allele frequencies. You should also be able to compare expected genotype frequencies from HWE to observed frequencies and determine if evolution is occurring.Here's a sample problem. You can do this without a calculator!Let's take the noob gene, a gene with two known alleles that determines feather color in the eastern lark. The two alleles, let's call them delta and gamma, can be sequenced. In fact, looking at a population in southern GA, you discover that 60% of the alleles in the population are the delta allele.1. What is the percentage of the gamma allele in the population?2. Even more interesting, based on HWE what is the expected frequency of the population that is homozygous gamma? 3. Now, after surveying an isolated population of eastern larks, you find that 20% of the population is homozygous gama (gamma gamma), 65% heterozygous (gamma delta) and 10% homozygous delta (delta delta) and 5% of the population is a previously undescribed genotype - zeta zeta (homozygous zeta). What can you conclude about evolution in the population and why? If evolution is occurring, which mechanism(s) would be responsible?
Answer and Explanation:
60% of the alleles in the population are the delta allele
1. What is the percentage of the gamma allele in the population?
According to Hardy-Weinberg, the allelic frequencies in a locus are represented as p and q, referring to the allelic dominant or recessive forms. The genotypic frequencies after one generation are p² (Homozygous dominant), 2pq (Heterozygous), q² (Homozygous recessive). Populations in H-W equilibrium will get the same allelic frequencies generation after generation. The sum of these allelic frequencies equals 1, this is p + q = 1.
In the same way, the sum of genotypic frequencies equals 1, this is
p² + 2pq + q² = 1
Being
p the dominant allelic frequency, q the recessive allelic frequency, p²the homozygous dominant genotypic frequency q² the homozygous recessive genotypic frequency 2pq the heterozygous genotypic frequencyAccording to the sum of the allelic frequencies
p + q = 1
1 equals 100%
100% ------ 1
60%------0.6
40%------0.4
The percentage of gamma allele in the population is 40%.
2. what is the expected frequency of the population that is homozygous gamma?
The genotypic frequencies, F, after one generation are p² (Homozygous dominant), 2pq (Heterozygous), q² (Homozygous recessive).
F(gamma)= p²= 0.4²=0.16 =16%
F(delta)= q²= 0.6²=0.36 = 36%
F (gamma-delta) = 2xp2q= 2 x 0.4 x 0.6 = 0.48 = 48%
3. 20% of the population is homozygous gama (gamma gamma), 65% heterozygous (gamma delta) and 10% homozygous delta (delta delta) and 5% of the population is a previously undescribed genotype - zeta zeta (homozygous zeta). What can you conclude about evolution in the population and why? If evolution is occurring, which mechanism(s) would be responsible?
20% gamma-gamma
10% delta-delta
65% gamma-delta
5% zeta-zeta
This population has different genotypic frequencies with respect to the population in southern GA:
The gamma genotypic frequency is a little bit higher in the isolated population (16% vs 20%)
The delta genotypic frequency is considerably lower in the isolated population (36% vs 10%)
The heterozygotic genotypic frequency is also higher in the isolated population (18% vs 64%)
It appeared a new phenotype in the isolated population, probably due to a mutation in one of the genes. We can assume that this is a new mutation because its frequency is still low (5%).
Maybe, the mutation occurred in an individual of the isolated population, and with time, this mutation increased its frequency, up to a point of being phenotypically visible. This could be a case of a bottleneck example.
The founder effect is a special case of genetic drift, where a few organisms of one population settles down in a new area carrying the genes of the original population.
Genetic drift is the random change in the allelic frequency in a population, from one generation to the other. The magnitude of this change is inversely related to the size of the original population. These changes produced by genetic drift accumulate in time, and eventually, some alleles get lost, while some other might get set.
Founder effect refers to the consequences that occur from the origin of a new population that derives from a small number of founder individuals that come from an ancestral bigger population. This small group shows poor genetic variation and a high possibility of expressing a peculiar allelic composition. Some mutation might occur and it can accumulate in time.
A female fly that has miniature wings and sepia eyes is crossed with a male that has normal wings and is homozygous for red eyes. The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. Give the phenotypes and their proportions expected in the F1 and F2 flies from this cross.
Answer and Explanation:
The gene that expresses the size of the wing is X-linked. The dominant allele expresses long wings, XM, while the recessive allele expresses miniature wings, Xm. The gene that expresses the color of the eyes is autosomal. The dominant allele expresses red color, S, and the recessive allele expresses sepia color, s.A female fly that has miniature wings and sepia eyes (XmXm ss) is crossed with a male that has normal wings and is homozygous for red eyes (XMY SS).

You want to estimate the number of canvas backs (a type of duck) at the Sacramento Wildlife Refuge. In two days you capture 200 canvas backs, mark all of them and release them. One month later you capture another 200 canvas backs, of which 100 were marked by you last month. Calculate an estimate for the population size of canvas backs.
A. 400
B. 100
C. 200
D. 300
E. 600
Answer:
Option A 400 individuals
Explanation:
Using this formula, we can estimate the population size of the canvas backs as this is a capture-recapture method.
N = (MxC) / R
Where N = estimated Number of individuals in the population
M = number of individuals captured and Marked = 200
C = total number Captured the second time (with and without a mark) = 200 and
R= number of individuals Recaptured (those with a mark) = 100
Thus, we have
N = (MxC) / R
= (200 x 200) / 100
= (40,000) / 100
= 400 individuals.

Viruses do not consist of cells; they lack cell membranes, but do have cytoplasm, ribosomes, and other cell organelles. C. Viruses do not consist of cells; they also lack cell membranes, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and other cell organelles. D. Viruses are cells with cell membranes, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and other cell organelles.
Answer:
C. Viruses do not consist of cells; they also lack cell membranes, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and other cell organelles.
Explanation:
Viruses are only composed of a couple things: strands of nucleic acid that can be DNA or RNA, a protein coat called a capsid, and potentially a glycolipid coat to protect the outside.
There are no organelles, nor are there cells. Keep in mind that a virus is nonliving, so D is utterly wrong.

Diffusion is a passive process that accounts for the movement of respiratory gases across the capillary membranes of alveoli.
True
False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Diffusion is a passive process (no energy required) in which the substance such as liquid and gases moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
During respiration, carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli and oxygen diffuses from alveoli to blood across the respiratory membrane. The partial pressure of oxygen is low in the blood of the pulmonary capillaries and high in the alveoli. so diffusion allow movement of oxygen across the respiratory membrane from the alveoli into the blood.
Hence, the given statement is true.

It has been stated that the rainforests owe their existence at least in part to bats.
Is this a valid statement and why or why not? Defend your answer.
Answer: Valid Statement ✓
Explanation:
Bats have been known to contribute to the growth and restoration of Tropical Rainforests in 2 main ways. Seed Dispersal and Pollination.
Seed Dispersal.
Fruit Bats in the Tropical Rainforest are responsible for a lot of seed dispersal. Feeding at night to avoid predators, they eat fruits from various trees and then defecate these seeds after digestion. Fruit Bats like most other bats are very strong fliers and so cover a whole lot of distance at night meaning that they give the seeds a very wide coverage. Indeed it has been shown that because they defecate the seeds, the seed already has fertilizer to get nutrients from as it grows thereby increasing it's growth rate.
There are also trees and plants that have evolved to grow spiky or sticky fruit that attach themselves to the Bats which then deposit them elsewhere as they fly.
Pollination.
Fruit Bats have specialized long tongues to sip nectar from flowers. When they do this they pollinate the flowers. It has even been shown that some plants evolved to have brighter colours so as to attract these bats to enable pollination to happen. Indeed research shows that more than 125 genera of tropical plants rely on bats for pollination.
Bats plays an essential role in the existence of rainforests, they help to replenish and expand the area of rainforests.
The importance of bats:Bats plays an essential function in the existence of rainforests. Along with the birds they assist in some of the major activities like replenishing the devastated region and expanding the region of rainforests. It is known that the majority of the tropical plants are dependent upon the methods of seed dispersal for expansion of rainforests.
Apart from this, restoration of rainforests is also dependent upon the fruit-consuming animals like bats. Bats helps to disperse the shrub species to the gradually regenerating barren landscapes or grasslands or rainforests, which got devastated. It has been found that about 90 percent of the pollination and dispersal of seeds in rainforests is done with the help of species like bats.
The bats can assist in regenerating the deforested areas in short span of time in comparison to any modern strategies. Therefore, bats helps in afforestation of rainforests. Due to their aerial nature, they possesses the tendency to cover wide region and plays significant role in dispersal and pollination.
Thus, bats are essential for the existence of rainforests.

O a scar and blood type
tiger's stripes and wolf's social status
musical talent and wolf's social status
musical talent and skin color
Answer: a scar and wolf's social status
Explanation:
The acquired traits can be defined as the traits, which are only influenced by the environment of the organism. The acquired trait cannot be passed down to the offspring, as they are not genetically determined. A scar and the social status of any organism is dependent on the behavior of the organism to the environment, no genes code for both of these characters. So, scars and Wolf's social status is an acquired trait.
The trait that should be put in section II (Both) is "a scar", as scars can be acquired due to injury or trauma, but some people may also have a genetic predisposition to scarring.
What are inherited and acquired trait?Inherited traits are characteristics that are determined by an individual's genetic makeup and are passed down from parents to their offspring through the process of reproduction. Examples of inherited traits include eye color, hair color, blood type, and facial features.
Acquired traits are characteristics that are developed during an individual's lifetime as a result of their interactions with the environment. Examples of acquired traits include scars, calluses, tanned skin, learned behaviors, and language proficiency.
While some traits may be either entirely inherited or acquired, many traits are influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. The complex interplay between nature and nurture contributes to the vast diversity of traits and characteristics found within the human population.
