If we have the recessive genotypic frequency, we can calculate the phenotypic frequencies in a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The percentage is <u>82%</u>.

<h3>What si the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium theory?</h3>

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium theory states that allelic and genotypic frequencies remain the same through generations in a population that is in equilibrium.  

The allelic frequencies in a locus are represented as p and q. Assuming a diallelic gene,

Allelic frequencies

  • The frequency of the dominant allele f(X) is p
  • The frequency of the recessive allele f(x) is q

Genotypic frequencies after one generation are

• p² ⇒ H0m0zyg0us dominant genotypic frequency,

• 2pq ⇒ Heter0zyg0us genotypic frequency,

• q² ⇒ H0m0zyg0us recessive genotypic frequency.

The addition of the allelic frequencies equals 1

p + q = 1.

The sum of genotypic frequencies equals 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

<u>Available data</u>:

18% of individuals express the recessive trait of Syndactyly

Let us say that the dominant allele is A and the recessive allele is a.

  • The dominant allele A codes for normal finger.
  • The recessive allele a codes for webbed finger.

Assuming this gene expresses complete dominance,

  • H0m0zyg0us dominant and heter0zyg0us -AA and Aa- individuals have normal finger.

Their frequency in the population is p² + 2pq.

  • h0m0zyg0us recessive -aa- individuals have webbed finger.

Their frequency in the population is q².

Individuals that express Syndactyly have webbed finger and their genotype is h0m0zyg0us recessive, aa. Their frequency in the population is q².

q² = 18% = 0.18

We can get the frequency of individuals with normal fingers by clearing the following equation,

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

p² + 2pq + 0.18 = 1

p² + 2pq = 1 - 0.18

<u>p² + 2pq = 0.82</u>

<u />

The frequency of individuals with normal fingers is <u>p² + 2pq = 0.82 = 82%.</u>

<u />

The percentage of the population are not Webbed is <u>82%</u>.

The main difference between inductive and deductive reasoning is that inductive reasoning aims at developing a theory while deductive reasoning aims at testing an existing theory. Inductive reasoning moves from specific observations to broad generalizations, and deductive reasoning the other way around.

With which pair would you see the biggest differences in the microbiota: your cheek
Nimfa-mama [501]

The biggest difference in the microbiota can be seen in : ( B ) your cheek versus your friend’s cheek.

<h3>What is Microbiota </h3>

Microbiota is the microorganisms present in specific region or area and It protects the region from harmful indigenous microorganisms as well. The microbiota specie that is present in an individual varies greatly from the microbiota species present in a different individual.

Therefore the Microbiota species present in your cheek will vary greatly from the microbiota species present in your friend's cheek.

Hence we can conclude that The biggest difference in the microbiota can be seen in  your cheek versus your friend’s cheek.

Neko [114]

Pedigree is the symbolic representation of the history of an individual's family connections, presenting their ascendants and descendants in an organized manner. This is an important instrument in the genealogical process, as it is a way of gathering data about the ancestors of the members who participated in a person's family building so that the connections between these individuals are established.

The family pedigre shown in the above question would be:

Hanna's mother and Hanna's father have three daughters of Hope's order, Holly and Hanna. Hanna and Harry have a son named John. John is married to Jane. His children are Lee and Leah (diagnosed with galactosemia ). Janes's mother is Hilda and the brother is Joe. Joe is married to Jen and his son is Les.

In class switching in the secondary antibody response, the most common antibody switch is from
Svetradugi [14.3K]
I believe that the most common antibody switch is from IgM to IgG.
Class switching occurs by a mechanism called the class switch recombination binding. It is a biological mechanism that allows the class of antibody produced by an activated B cell to change during a  process known as isotype or class switching. The mechanism changes a B cell's production of antibodies from one form  to another, such as from the isotype IgM to the isotype IgG.
