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

Describe key differences between metaphase and anaphase.
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

In metaphase (a), the microtubules of the spindle (white) have attached and the chromosomes have lined up on the metaphase plate. During anaphase (b), the sister chromatids are pulled apart and move toward opposite poles of the cell.

A ________ is where one network ends and another begins.
umka21 [38]

A demarc is where one network ends and another begins. Demarc stands for demarcation point. It is the physical point at which the public network of a telecommunications company ends and the private network of a customer begins.

However, the distinction between where one category of network begins and another ends is sometimes blurry.
