(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The percentage of the heterozygous carrier in a population.

Introduction: According to Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, the genotype and allelic frequencies of a population will remain constant from generation to generation under special circumstances. The Hardy Weinberg equilibrium is possible in the situations of large population size, no mutation, no natural selection, and free breeding in the population.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The percentage of the heterozygous carrier in a population in the case of autosomal recessive mutation.

Introduction: As mentioned in the concept introduction part (a).

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The percentage of the heterozygous carrier in a population if q2=0.09

Introduction: As mentioned in the concept introduction part (a).

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The percentage of the heterozygous carrier in a population if q2=0.01

Introduction: As mentioned in the concept introduction part (a).

(e)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The percentage of the heterozygous carrier in a population if q2=0.10

Introduction: As mentioned in the concept introduction part (a).

Molecular Biology Please help with question. thank you You are studying the expression of the lac operon. You have isolated mutants as described below. In the presence of glucose, explain/describe what would happen, for each mutant, to the expression of the lac operon when you add lactose AND what would happen when the bacteria has used up all of the lactose (if the mutant is able to use lactose).5. Mutations in the lac operator that strengthen the binding of the lac repressor 200 fold 6. Mutations in the promoter that prevent binding of RNA polymerase 7. Mutations in CRP/CAP protein that prevent binding of cAMP8. Mutations in sigma factor that prevent binding of sigma to core RNA polymerase
Molecular Biology Please help and there is an attached image. Thank you. A bacteria has a gene whose protein/enzyme product is involved with the synthesis of a lipid necessary for the synthesis of the cell membrane. Expression of this gene requires the binding of a protein (called ACT) to a control sequence (called INC) next to the promoter. A. Is the expression/regulation of this gene an example of induction or repression?Please explain:B. Is this expression/regulation an example of positive or negative control?C. When the lipid is supplied in the media, the expression of the enzyme is turned off.Describe one likely mechanism for how this “turn off” is accomplished.
Molecular Biology Please help. Thank you. Discuss/define the following:(a) poly A polymerase (b) trans-splicing (c) operon
