According to Hardy- Weinberg principle, if the frequency of one allele in a population with two alleles is 0.7 at a particular locus, then the frequency of alternate allele is 0.3.

<h3>What is Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium?</h3>
  • Hardy- Weinberg rule states that in the absence of disturbing factors, the genetic variability in a population remains constant in different generations.
  • It states that when mating is random both the genotypic and allelic frequencies remain constant as they are in equilibrium.
  • Hardy- Weinberg rule applies to a large population where mating is random and there is no migration.
  • It is given by p + q = 1, where p is the frequency of dominant allele in the population, q is the frequency of recessive allele in the population.
  • By squaring, p2+ 2pq+ q2= 1, where p2 is percentage of homozygous dominant individuals, q2 is percentage of homozygous recessive individuals. 2pq is percentage of heterozygous individuals.
  • Here given, p= 0.7, therefore q= 1- 0.7= 0.3

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

a. destroyed

b. osteoclasts

c. proteolytic enzymes

d. hydrochloric acid

e. blood

f. low

Explanation:

Resorption is the loss of substance from any mineralized tissue, mediated by cellular and humoral systems of their own. The four mineralized tissues of our economy, bone, cement, dentin (mineralized fraction of the dentino-pulp functional complex) and enamel, offer different degrees of resistance to resorption. The bone has the greatest lability and the enamel the least. The fact that the bone tissue is the least resistant to resorption is used to move and reposition teeth by controlled forces (orthodontics); and the fact that the enamel is the most resistant has led to think that it does not suffer from resorption.

Osteoclasts They are the spring cells par excellence; they belong to the lineage of the monocitomacrophages. They are large, multinucleated mobile cells, with a clear area and a rough brush border that live for about two weeks and disappear by apoptosis (cell death programmed by fragmentation in membrane particles that allows their phagocytosis without inflammation). They are responsible for the destruction of the organic and inorganic parts of the mineralized bone fraction. They are active both in the processes of the physiological renewal of the bone and in those of its pathological loss.

Which of the following terms describes the distribution of a particular allele within a population
enot [183]
<span>The answer is allelic frequency. This is also the fraction of a particular allele of a gene in the population.   Allelic frequency in a population of diploid individuals is calculated using the Hardy Weinberg equation of p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1. Allelic frequency of all the alleles of the genes must add up to 1 (one).</span>
