Allele frequency

In protein synthesis there are 3 to 4 structures that occur. In the primary structure there are covalently bonded sequences of amino acids and this happens through dehydration synthesis where complex molecules are broken down to simple components. Secondary structure happens within the protein and can repeat multiple times and this happens from the folds by the Hydrogen bonds. Finally, you reach tertiary structure where the final 3-dimensional shape is shown by the complete polypeptide chain.…

Lactase persistence is the result of a gene mutation and therefore considered the mutant allele while non-persistent is the wild-type allele. However, the LCT gene itself is not mutated. The single base pair mutation (a change from a “C” to a “T”) occurs in an intron of a neighboring gene that lies 13,910 nucleotides upstream, which alters the process in which the…

axon's terminal in the basal ganglia and we measure the signal in the cortex (the HVc) at the dendrites of the neuron. in this experiment a constant frequency and intensity signal is obtained in the HVc interneuron, it results in also a constant signal in the Basal Ganglia, and specific signal in the RA. when giving a signal of different intensity or frequency in the HVc, a different signal is obtained in the RA. however, signals are similar to different birds. This type of experiments doesn't…

Aceruloplasminemia We learned about many What is it? Explain/describe the general symptoms of your choice. Best described as iron accumulation in the body, aceruloplasminemia is a genetic disorder where iron accumulates in organs. This bc of such, it is classifed as a neiodgentiv disirder Symptoms typically manifest during adulthood approximaentl y 85% of synomatic patients are also diagnosded with anemia, 80% with diabetes, 77% with reRetinal degeneration, and Neurologic symptoms…

the kitten’s two alleles comes from the father and the other comes from the mother. There are two possible alleles for that gene, a dominant one and a recessive one. The kitten’s physical appearance is known as their phenotype, and whatever alleles the kitten has is known as their genotype. If the kitten’s genotype is two dominant alleles, then that’s what their phenotype will be. This is known as having a homozygous genotype. If a kitten’s genotype is the the two recessive alleles, then that is…

well and cannot fight for a mate (Dunlop, 2010). In the experiment, the students concluded that having a lighter colour made them more susceptible to be eaten by predators as demonstrated when the students picked out the lighter coloured moths. The frequency of the square 5 which measured 1 inch by 1 inch was 33% (refer to Appendix under Calculations) and this shows that the amount of squares picked out of a certain size decreases as the size of the square decreases. The group data compared to…

Drosophila melanogaster also known as the common fruit fly is mostly associated with fruits and vegetables, however it can originate from other sources. Drosophila melanogaster has a common life cycle of fifty days. In that time period female fruit flies lays several eggs. Similarly, fruit flies develop from larvae like other flies (Glick, Neimeier and Aiello). Drosophila melanogaster can reproduce anywhere that has fermented organic matter that stays moist. Fruit flies undergoes 4 (egg, larva,…

Meckel-Gruber Syndrome Meckel-Gruber Syndrome is a Fatal congenital autosomal recessive disease which is named after the German anatomist Johann Friedrich Meckel and the German physician Georg Gruber. This illness infects 1 in 13,250 to 1 in 140,000 people around the world; however, it’s more common in some regions. For instance, it was reported that Meckel syndrome has an incidence of 1 per 3,500 live births with a carrier rate of 1 in 30 in Bedouins in Kuwait (Teebi et al.1992). This…

picking up the cards more difficult. If the paper bags were to replaced with another medium, such as a box with a wider opening, then the simulation would run more smoothly. In addition, the size of the paper bag also causes the process of shaking the alleles to be less randomized. With the limited space, the laminated cards cannot shuffle well, except moving up and down, making the experiment to be less randomized. Even with another medium, the act of shaking is not efficient enough to fully…

PSS is not the only example of when artificial selection has gone wrong. There are many positives to artificial selection people just need to become educated and make sure they are not breeding for genes that can have adverse reactions, other than what was originally expected. This does raise the question of the ethics of artificial selection in relation to the quality of life the pigs will have living with the stress gene. Humans have been doing artificial selection for a long time with many…
