Jason adds the antibiotic penicillin to a bacterial culture. The bacteria develop genetic modifications in their genome, which g

ives them resistance to the antibiotic penicillin. What caused this genetic modification?

The correct answer is A.
The use of antibacterial drugs can cause modifications in the genetic material of the concerned bacteria. If the genetic material of the bacteria are modify, that means they have undergone mutation. Because the base sequence of the normal and that of the mutated gene is different, antibiotic will not be able to recognize the bacteria again and thus will not be able to attack it.

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a theoretical model that predicts the frequency of different genotypes in a population that is
qaws [65]

Complete question:

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a theoretical model that predicts the frequency of different genotypes in a population that is not evolving. A scientist studying the population genetics of the rainbow fish finds that the Hardy-Weinberg model predicts that the frequencies of the three different genotypes for the albino gene in a given lake should be as follow: AA: 49%, Aa: 42%, and aa: 9%. However, the scientist obtained a sample of 320 individuals of this species and found that the numbers of individuals for the different genotypes are: AA: 180, Aa: 120, and aa: 20. Use the appropriate statistical technique to test (use alpha = 0.05) whether the observed genotype frequencies are consistent with eh Hardy-Weinberg model. State your conclusion.

Answer:

There is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. The genotypes are not in equilibrium.  The genotype frequencies are consistent with the Hardy-Weinberg model.

Explanation:

Expected Number of individuals with each genotype:  Each genotype´s frequency multiplied by the total number of individuals in the sample.

AA= 0.49 x 320 = 156.8

Aa= 0.42 x 320 = 134.4

aa= 0.09 x 320 = 28.8

Observed Number of individuals with each genotype:

AA= 180

Aa= 120

aa= 20

Chi square= ∑ ((O-E)²/E)  

  • ∑ is the sum of the terms
  • O are the Observed individuals
  • E are the Expected individuals

AA= (O-E)² /E

AA= (156.8 - 180) ² / 156.8

AA= 538.24/156.8

AA= 3.433

Aa= (O-E)² /E        

Aa= (134.4-120)² / 134.4

Aa=207.36/134.4

Aa= 1.543

aa= (O-E)² /E

aa= (28.8-20)²/28.8

aa= 2.69

X² = ∑ ((O-E)²/E) =  3.433 + 1.543 + 2.69 = 7.666

Freedom degrees =  genotypes - alleles = 3 - 2 = 1  

Significance level, 5% = 0.05

p value less than 0.05

Table value/Critical value = 3.841

7.666 > 3.84 meaning that the difference between the observed individuals and the expected individuals in each chamber is statistically significant.

There is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. The genotypes are not in equilibrium.

What types of specimens were you able to view under each of the microscopes in the microscope activity? How did the specimen vie
Lana71 [14]

Under the dissecting microscope I was able to view the surfaces of specimens such as a feather, insect, and leaf.

Under the compound microscope I was able to view a leaf, blood, and algae. I was able to observe the surface of the specimens in greater detail then I was able to view the surfaces under the dissecting microscope. For an example under the compound light microscope I was able to view the leaves surface which contained multiple lines that intertwined into each other and rectangular chambers of green dots. But under the dissecting microscope I was only able to view the surface of the leaf which consisted of thin white cracks in the leaf.

Under the scanning electron I was able to view the internal structure of the following specimens: a leaf, blood, and algae.  

Under the transmission electron I was able to view a more in depth internal structure of the following specimens:a leaf, blood, and algae. I was able to observe the intern

al structures of the specimens in greater detail then I was able to view the internal structures under the scanning microscope. For an example under the TEM I was able to study the internal structure of a leaf which consisted of long thick and thin black and gray lines coated with black rectangles and tiny dots littering he perimeter of what looks to be the internal structure of the leaf. But with the SEM I was only able to view the first layer of the leaf's internal structure which consisted of mushroom like figures surrounded be compound and single molecules.
