A fruit fly population has a gene with two alleles, A1 and A2. Tests show that 70% of the gametes produced in the population con

tain the A1 allele. If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what proportion of the flies carry both A1 and A2?

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Given ,

A1 allele is carried by 70 % people

Let us assume A1 s dominant genotype

This means p= \frac{70}{100} = 0.7

Thus, frequency of allele in the given population is 0.7

It is also given that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium thus

p+q=1\\0.7+q=1\\q = 1-0.7\\q= 0.3

Frequency of fruit fly with genotype A2A2 will be

q^2\\= (0.3)^2\\= 0.09

As per Hardy-Weinberg's second equation of equilibrium

p^{2} + q^{2} + 2pq = 1\\0.49+0.09+2pq = 1\\2pq = 1-0.49-0.09\\2pq= 0.42

Hence, option C is correct

Under the commercial name Orazine, Chlopromazine was introduced in the 1950s after a paradigm shift (extremely significant) or change from psychiatrists. Prior to this era, psychiatrists, as whole, did not readily recognize and therefore often improperly treated those with mental disorders.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
The United Nations Conventions on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) declares that seabed area, which does not fall under the jurisdiction of a particular country, is a common natural heritage. The minerals of this area can be usd by anyone. Due to vast presence of sea area, and conflicting boundaries, as well as illegal mininig practices, the imposition of such laws is difficult. The very large sea areas which should not be mined, should be restrained under non mining region. But, mineral-greedy nations are not following such instructions.
The envrionmental implications of ilegal seabed mining includes, destabilisation of oceanic systems, effect on microbial systems of the sea, and danger to the creatures living in the hydrothermal vents, which are not used to light exposure.
