One of the first Mendelian traits identified in humans was a dominant condition known as brachydactyly. This gene causes an abno

rmal shortening of the fingers or toes (or both). At the time, some researchers thought that the dominant trait would spread until 75 percent of the population would be affected (because the phenotypic ratio of dominant to recessive is 3:1).
Why was this reasoning incorrect?

A. Rare alleles tend to remain rare even when they are dominant so the dominant trait would spread until 25 percent of the population would be affected.
B. The distribution of a gene among individuals is determined by mating and environmental factors, so only a recessive trait can spread until 75 percent of the population would be affected.
C. Rare alleles tend to remain rare even when they are dominant.The distribution of a gene among individuals is determined by mating and environmental factors.
D. The frequency of an allele is determined only by migration, so it is impossible to determine the distribution of desease in human population using Mendelian crosses.

Answer:

The correct option is C. Rare alleles tend to remain rare even when they are dominant.The distribution of a gene among individuals is determined by mating and environmental factors.

Explanation:

Most people believe that a rare allele would only be recessive. But this is not correct. A rare allele can be dominant. The frequency of an allele to occur in a population will depend on the environmental factors. The alleles which code for traits that are best suitable for living in an environment will be seen in more abundance. The frequency of an allele to occur in a population also depends on the breeding trends of the population.

Cultures of a bacterial species were incubated on the shelf of a refrigerator, out on a lab bench top, on the shelf of a 37°C in
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

D. Psychrophile

Explanation:

Psychrophiles or cryophiles are a type of extremophiles i.e. they live in extreme environment. They grow well in low temperatures ranging from -20 to +10 degree Celsius.

Here, the bacteria was incubated at different temperatures. It did not show growth at standard incubation temperature of 37°C which indicates that it might be an extremophile preferring either very hot or very cold environment. But it also did not show growth at 50°C which means that it does not survive well at high temperature.

Lab bench top has generally colder surface compared to the surrounding environment and a little growth was observed there which indicates that this bacteria might require cold temperature for growth. The result was finally confirmed with abundant growth observed inside refrigerator which is only possible if it is a psychrophile.
