Alu element at the PV92 locus on Chromosome 16. In this population, 436 people have a heterozygous genotype and 102 people have

a homozygous negative genotype (meaning that neither copy of the PV92 has an Alu element). What is the value of q in this population (what is the proportion of alleles in this population that are negative for the Alu insertion)? What is the value of p in this population? Which proportion of this population is predicted to have a homozygous positive genotype if this gene is at a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

Answer:

Explanation:

According to the exercise we can infer that for the Alu insert:

p: positive allelic frequency

q: negative allelic frequency

maintaining that the population is in equilibrium we can carry out the following formula

p + q = 1 and pp + 2pq + qq = 1

looking for the genotype frequency we clear and obtain the following data

genotype frequency of 2pq = 436/1000 = 0.436

The genotype frequency of qq = 102/1000 = 0.102

This is how we look now:

number of positive people for Alu = 1000- (436 + 102) = 1000- 538 = 46

In this way it is resolved that:

genotypic frequency of pp = 462/1000 = 0.462

  p = 0.462 + (0.436 / 2) = 0.462 + 0.218 = 0.680

q = 0.102+ (0.436 / 2) = 0.102 + 0.218 = 0.320

According to the exercise carried out it is deduced:

The value of p in the population is = 0.68

We conclude that our prognosis showing a homozygous positive genotype is: 0.462

Oksanka [162]
Mitosis happens to our skins cells to replace those that are damaged or have died. Cells have a limit, and then they commit cell suicide or apoptosis. Before dying or be damaged, the skin cells first reproduce themselves in order help keep our body protected with our first layer of defense.

What evidence do the positions of the peaks and dips in its spectrum provide about an object? A. expansion B. elemental composit
Andreas93 [3]

Given what we know about the use of spectrums, we can confirm that the positions of peaks and dips provide information as to the elemental composition of the object in question.

The question asks about the dips and peaks of a spectrum, which allows us to assume we are dealing with Infrared spectroscopy and IR spectrums. This is defined as the measurement of how certain matter interacts with infrared radiation.

These graphs are used to measure how this matter absorbs, reflects, or even emits said radiation. Therefore, the use of spectrums allows us to infer as to the chemicals present or functional groups of an object, and therefore its elemental composition.

When looking at the spectrum graph, we will see that at times the curve dips down, which indicates that <u><em>less light </em></u>is transmitted. That means light is being absorbed. Due to the fact that bonds absorb different frequencies of light, <u>the </u><u>peaks </u><u>tell you what kinds of </u><u>bonds </u><u>are present from which we can identify the </u><u>elemental composition</u><u>.</u>

6. Applying Ideas: Suppose someone dumped left over motor oil on a driveway. Could this disposal
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

If they are looking for one BEST answer, it is the water.

If looking for top two, it is water and soil.

Realistically, however, this disposal can contaminate all 3.

Let me explain:

The motor oil that is dumped on a driveway first makes its way into the soil. The freshwater found in this soil becomes contaminated with motor oil and can eventually runoff into the ocean. Once this liquid evaporates, it then becomes air pollution. Shortest, best answer tho is water.

Hope this helps. Have a great day!
