Skin color in a certain species of fish is inherited via a single gene with four different alleles. How many different types of gametes would be possible in this system?
A) 1
B) 2
C) 4
D) 8
E) 16

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The answer is C) 4.

It is known that gametes are haploid cells. Haploid cells have only one allele in the loci. Each gamete will contain each of these four different alleles. That means that there will be four different types of gametes containing four different alleles.

Answer 2
Answer:

Since there are four alleles, there are four different combinations of alleles possible in the gametes. Therefore, option C is correct. as there would be four different types of gametes possible in this system.

In a system where skin color in a certain species of fish is inherited via a single gene with four different alleles, the number of different types of gametes that would be possible can be determined using the principle of independent assortment.

The principle of independent assortment states that during gamete formation, the alleles for different traits segregate independently of each other.

Since there is only one gene involved in determining skin color in this case, we can assume that the alleles for skin color segregate independently as well.

With four different alleles for the skin color gene, let's label them as A, B, C, and D. Each individual gamete will carry only one allele. The possible combinations of alleles in the gametes can be calculated by multiplying the number of alleles for each gene together.

In this case, since there are four alleles, there are four different combinations of alleles possible in the gametes. Therefore, the correct answer is C) 4, as there would be four different types of gametes possible in this system.

According to the _____ model, evolution occurs in spurts; species evolve relatively rapidly then remain unchanged for long periods.

Answers

Answer:

According to the punctuated equilibrium model, evolution occurs in spurts; species evolve relatively rapidly then remain unchanged for long periods.

Explanation:

The theory of punctuated equilibrium maintains that during most of the time of existence of a species it would remain stable or with minor changes, that is, in periods of stasis or periods of morphological stability, followed by rapid and abrupt events of evolutionary changes.  This model was proposed by evolutionary biologist and paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould and his colleague Niles Eldrege. This theory includes the phenomena of stasis and the sudden or instantaneous appearance of forms in the normal process of speciation, that is, formation of new species.

A gene has 2 alleles, R & B, List the possible genotypes? I also need help with questions 5, 6, 7 and 8 please help! Pls look at the picture! I will mark whoever sounds best the brain! Ty!

Answers

Answer:

5.) The possible genotypes should be: RR RB BB ( if the could for the same proteins)

6.) Frequency of R: 0.5

7.)Frequency of R: 0.5

8.)Frequency of R: 0.375

Explanation:

5.) If R and B code for the different forms of the same protein then they are only a few possible out comes

6.) First calculate the total alleles in population

allele R= 40

Allele B=40

total allele = R+B= 40+40

=80

Now to find allele R frequency is:

(Total R alleles) / (Total allele in pop)

40/80=

0.5

7.)Calculate the total alleles

Alleles from for R

RR= 10

R=10x 2= 20

Multiply the value by 2 because there are 2 R alleles present in

RB=20

R=20

Number doesn't change there is only 1 R allele

Total R=20+20

=40

Alleles For B

BB=10

B=10×2

=20

Same thing here, two B alleles together so multiple by 2

RB=20

B=20

Total B= 20+20

=40

Total alleles in pop add

40+40

=80

Frequency of R

Total of R/Total Alleles

=40/80

=0.5

8.)Repeat the same thing in 7 but use different numbers

RR=10

R=10x2

=20

RB=10

R=10

Total R= 20+10

=30

These are folds in the mitochondria that contain enzymes important to ATP production and also increase the surface area for ATP production.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer will be-true

Explanation:

Mitochondria is a double membrane-bound organelle which is involved in the production of the energy molecules called ATP.

For the production and increase the productivity of the ATP molecules, the cell has modified the mitochondria by making the changes in the inner surface of the organelle.

The inner membrane possesses the enzyme called ATP synthase which synthesizes the enzymes. The inner membrane increases the infoldings called cristae which increases the surface area for the ATP production.

Thus, true is the correct answer.

The folds of membrane are called the cristae, and the inner part ("maze") is called the matrix.
Hope this helps! :)
