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?
a. 0.7 b. 0.49 c. 0.42 d. 0.21

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

Many present-day animal phyla appeared suddenly in fossils formed 535-525 million years ago, during the paleozoic era of the pha
frez [133]

The correct answer is - No.

The Cambrian explosion is a term used for the big and rapid diversification of the animal species, but it is not the period in which the animal life started. The animal life started in the period between 620 and 550 million years ago, in what is known as the Vendian Period. In the Vendian Period, the first complex animal organisms appeared, started to develop and evolve, though it is not a period where there was a high diversification of the species. The later Cambrian Period provided better living conditions, and that resulted in a so called ''explosion of life'', which resulted in much more new species developing and evolving.

Antibiotic resistance happens when an antibiotic lost its ability in controlling or killing bacterial growth. At this moment the bacteria are already resistant to the antibiotic and are multiplying even though the drug is present. This is a natural phenomenon.

Which of the following is true of rods?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer: A - Rods are more numerous than cones

Explanation: Rods are found everywhere in the retina except the fovea (a tiny pocket in the retina where just about all of the cones are located).

B. The macula lutea is another word for fovea, no rods are found there.

C. Rods are utilized in low-light conditions and are not <em>sensitive</em> to wavelengths of light.

D. Cones are responsible for perceiving color and not rods.

E. The main function of the rods is to help us see in low-light conditions (scotopic vision), so this answer would be incorrect.
