CR _____12 -26

P_______32 -0

P, CR___14  - 0



First, examine relationship to determine if 2 mutations are linked. Since CR (curly) and P (purple) can occur independently, they are not on the same chromosome.

 

Second, CR occurs equally in males and females 26:26 (or 1:1) and, therefore, is not sex linked. Now, examine the numbers of non-CR and CR, they are 148:52, which is approximately 3:1 of wt:mutant (for this particular trait). This  ...</description>

I understand that when the PH &lt; PKa = Protonated and when PH &gt; PKa = Deprotonated, and when PH = PKa = 50/50 change. so I was given a set of PH (e.g.) PH 3, 7, 10.  how can I calculate the net charges.

Thanks a bunch, I was wondering if you had any familarity with the calculating the charge on an amino acid?

I'm a bit confused on how to calculate the net charge on a peptide. I get that when the pH is greater than the ionizable groups (lysine, arginine, glutamate, asparagine), the base form predominates and that there will be either a neutral charge or a - charge. But how do you know when you will have a neutral plus or negative charge (i.e.) when do you know that there will be a  ...</description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi,
<br />
I'm a bit confused as to how to solve this problem.
<br />

<br />
1. Calculate the amount of 0.5 M lactic acid/1.0M lactate you would need to make a 3.3M M100 mL solution with the pH of 4.80 and the pKa is 3. 9.
<br />

<br />
First you would use the equation .5M x (Y)= 3.3 M x (100mL)
<br />

<br />
that gives you 660 mL which is impossible since you have to make it 100mL?
<br />

White leghorn chickens have normal pigment genes, but are white because of a dominant color inhibiting gene (I). White Plymouth rock chickens are white because they are homozygous for a recessive loss of pigmentation gene (c) that behaves much like the coat color gene (C/c) in mice. The genes are unlinked and neither is sex-linked. A true-breeding white leghorn (II CC) is crossed  ...</description>

I'm sure you're sick of helping me by now but what do you make of this qn?



-Dunkers are a secluded group originally from rhineland germany before settling in pennsylvania USA during 18th century. Since then they have remained secluded in marriages and customs. The frequency of ABO blood types found in the Dunkers compared to the surrounding American pop and present day rhinelanders is:



Group - no. people tested-Blood frequencies: A......AB......B...........O

Dunkers...228...........................................0.61...0.02....0.04....0.33
