Key deer are found only on certain islands in the Florida Keys. Populations are typically small enough that genetic drift has ca

used significant deviation among populations on different islands. For example, the population on No Name Key has allele frequencies of A1 = 0.43 and A2 = 0.57 while the population on Big Pine Key has allele frequencies of A1 =0.21 and A2 = 0.79. Construction of roads has recently increased migration rates between these populations to approximately 0.08 per generation. What will the frequency of A1 be on Big Pine Key after a single generation of migration from No Name Key?

Answer:

The frequency of A1 be on Big Pine Key after a single generation of migration from No Name Keyp is 0.2276

Explanation:

Whenever it occurs migration between two populations, there is genetic flux going on. Genetic flux might be considered as an evolutive strength only if migration > 0 and if the allelic frequency in one generation is different from the allelic frequency in the next generation.  

Genetic flux acts homogenizing the allelic frequencies between the two populations, and it might introduce variability.

By knowing the allelic frequencies in both populations at a certain time and the migration rate, we can calculate the allelic frequencies of populations in the next generation. This is:

pA₂=pA₁(1-m)+pB₁ m

pB₂=pB₁(1-m)+pA₁ m

Being

  • A one population and B the other population
  • pA₁ and pB₁ the frequencies of the p allele before migration,
  • pA₂and pB₂ the frequencies of the p allele after migration,
  • m the migration rate

In the exposed example, we know that:

  • No Name Key population allelic frequency: A1 = 0.43 and A2 = 0.57
  • Big Pine Key population allelic frequency: A1 =0.21 and A2 = 0.79
  • Migration rate m=0.08

Let´s say that p represents A1 allele, and q represents A2 allele.

The frequency of A1 allele (p) be on Big Pine Key (Population B) after a single generation of migration from No Name Key (Population A)

pB₂=pB₁(1-m)+pA₁ m

pB₂=0.21 x (1 - 0.08) + 0.43 x 0.08

pB₂= 0.2276

The allelic frequency in a population after one generation is the allelic frequency of individuals of that population that did not migrate (21 x  (1 - 0.08) plus the allelic frequency of the new individuals that came from the other population (0.43 x 0.08).

You can corroborate your result by calculating the q allele frequency in the next generation and summing both of them up. The result should be one.

qB₂= qB₁(1-m)+qA₁ m

qB₂= 0.79 x (1 - 0.08) + 0.57 x 0.08

qB₂= 0.7724

p + q = 1

0.2276 + 0.7724 = 1

Help please !! I really don’t understand this much☹️
morpeh [17]
Ok, so I wrote these out just to make it a little bit easier for you to understand what I am about to explain.

So for the first one you have two different traits that can be inherited- having freckles or having no freckles, F and f respectively. The dominant trait (or having freckles) is shown by the capital F, and is almost always expressed over the recessive trait, or the lowercase f. So, for example, if you have a genotype of Ff, the trait having freckles will show up instead of not having freckles. The only way that you could have the trait of no freckles show up is if there are two recessive alleles for having no freckles, or ff. In this case, you have two parents who are both heterozygous for the trait of having freckles, so in other words the mother has Ff and the father has Ff. Each parent passes down one allele to the offspring, so since you are breeding Ff and Ff, you should result in having the possible genotypes of FF, Ff, Ff, and ff. This means that there is a 25% chance that the offspring will be homozygous for having freckles, a 50% chance that the offspring will be heterozygous for having freckles and a 25% chance that they would be homozygous for having no freckles, or a 1:2:1 ratio.

Incomplete dominance is a little bit different that just a normal monohybrid cross. Instead of just the dominant gene showing up in a heterozygous genotype, both traits show up. So like the question says, if a homozygous red flower plant was crossed with a homozygous white flower plant, their offspring would not just be white or red, they would be pink because it is a mixture of white and red. So then if you crossed the heterozygous, or Rr plants, the result would be a 25% chance of getting a homozygous RR red plant, a 50% chance of getting a pink Rr plant, and a 25% chance of getting a white rr plant, or another 1:2:1 ratio.

Sorry for the wordy answer, but hopefully this helps you understand this a little better :)

how lysosomes may be involved in the removal of the interdigital membrane of the developing mammalian fetus
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Lysosomes have the function of digesting substances, this function allows it to be involved in the removal of the interdigital membrane of the developing mammal fetus.

Explanation:

Lysosomes are organelles formed by numerous digestive enzymes. These enzymes allow lysosomes to be able to digest substances and even cellular apparatus, when needed.

The digestive function of lysosomes can be observed in the removal of the interdigital membrane of the developing mammalian fetus, by the action of digestive enzymes that have the ability to remove this entire membrane and any other undesirable tissue for the next stages of development of the fetus.

Centrosome is the region of chromosome where two sister chromatids are connected.
Zinaida [17]

False, that is a close answer and can be easily confused with the right answer which is "Centromere" it is the specialized region of the chromosome where two sister chromatids are most closely attached.

The centrosome is like the organization center in the process of cell division. Has two centrioles.
