What does it mean to have parfocal objectives?

Biology
1 answer:
choli [55]2 years ago
5 0

There is a significant difference between parfocal objectives and objectives that are not. Having parfocal objectives means that the sample remains in focus when the objectives are changed.

---------------------------------------------

The most significant characteristic of parfocal objectives is that the image or sample under observation remains focused even when changing objectives.

When you are focussing a sample using a low-power objective and want to change to a higher one, you do not need to refocus anymore. And if you do, the adjustment is minimal. The focus keeps being the same because the distance between the image and the lens remains the same.

This characteristic turns to be convenient because

  • <em>it avoids spending time focusing, </em>
  • <em>it prevents contact between the lens and the coverslip. </em>

Consider a locus with two alleles - B and b. B is dominant, while b is recessive. There is no mutation. B has a selective advant
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

0.09

Explanation:

<h3><u>Before selection</u></h3>

Total number in population = 1000

Genotype frequencies

Genotype frequency of BB = 500/1000 = 0.5

Genotype frequency of Bb = 250/1000 = 0.25

Genotype frequency of bb = 250/1000 = 0.25

Allele frequencies

Allele frequency of B = BB genotype frequency + half of the Bb genotype frequency = 0.5 + (0.25/2) = 0.625

Allele frequency of b = bb genotype frequency + half of the Bb genotype frequency = 0.25 + (0.25/2) = 0.375

<h3><u>After selection</u></h3>

We are told that after selection, the genotype frequency of bb is changed as they become 50% less fit. This means the frequency of bb individuals changes from 250 to 125 individuals (50% reduction).

Now the total number of individuals is 500 + 125 + 250 = 875.

Genotype frequencies

Genotype frequency of BB = 500/875 = 0.57

Genotype frequency of Bb = 250/875 = 0.29

Genotype frequency of bb = 125/875 = 0.14

Allele frequencies

Allele frequency of B = BB genotype frequency + half of the Bb genotype frequency = 0.57 + (0.29/2) = 0.715

Allele frequency of b = bb genotype frequency + half of the Bb genotype frequency = 0.14 + (0.29/2) = 0.285

<h3><u>Change in frequency of B after 1 generation</u></h3>

0.715 - 0.625 = 0.09
