Essential Mathematical Formulas & Equations in Biology

Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

p + q = 1.0 ==> p² + 2pq + q² = 1.0

p = dominant allele freq, q = recessive allele freq, 2pq = heterozygote frequency.

Michaelis-Menten Enzyme Kinetics

v = (Vmax * [S]) / (Km + [S])

Km is substrate concentration at half-maximal velocity (1/2 Vmax).

Cardiac Output Equation

CO = HR x SV = 72 bpm x 70 mL = ~5040 mL/min

Cardiac output equals heart rate multiplied by stroke volume.

Glomerular Net Filtration Pressure

NFP = GHP - (BCOP + CHP) = 60 - (32 + 18) = +10 mmHg

Net outward hydrostatic pressure driving renal ultrafiltration.

Verhulst-Pearl Logistic Population Growth

dN/dt = rN * ((K - N) / K)

r = intrinsic rate of natural increase, K = habitat carrying capacity.

Species-Area Relationship (Humboldt)

log S = log C + z * log A ==> S = C * A^z

z is regression slope (0.1-0.2 for regions; 0.6-1.2 for continents).

PCR Product Amplification

N = N0 * 2^n

n = number of completed thermal cycles.

Respiratory Quotient (RQ)

RQ = Vol CO2 evolved / Vol O2 consumed

Carbohydrates = 1.0, Fats = 0.7, Proteins = 0.9, Organic Acids > 1.0.

Genetics

If 9% of a population has Cystic Fibrosis (autosomal recessive), what is the frequency of heterozygous carriers (2pq)?

💡 Tap to reveal solution

42% (0.42)

q² = 0.09 ==> q = 0.3. Thus p = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7. Carrier 2pq = 2(0.7)(0.3) = 0.42 = 42%.

Physiology

What is the Net Filtration Pressure (NFP) in a healthy human glomerulus?

💡 Tap to reveal solution

+10 mmHg

NFP = GHP (60 mmHg) - [BCOP (32 mmHg) + CHP (18 mmHg)] = 60 - 50 = +10 mmHg.

Botany

How many ATP and NADPH are consumed to synthesize 1 molecule of Glucose in C3 vs C4 plants?

💡 Tap to reveal solution

C3: 18 ATP, 12 NADPH | C4: 30 ATP, 12 NADPH

C4 plants require 2 additional ATP per CO2 fixed to regenerate PEP from pyruvate.

Molecular Biology

What are the three eukaryotic RNA Polymerases and their respective enzymatic transcripts?

💡 Tap to reveal solution

RNA Pol I: 28S, 18S, 5.8S rRNA | RNA Pol II: hnRNA (mRNA) | RNA Pol III: tRNA, 5S rRNA, snRNA

hnRNA undergoes capping (m7Gppp), splicing (snRNPs), and tailing (poly-A).
