Answer & explanation:

Distilled water cannot be inserted into the bloodstream as it is a pure water (H₂O) compound without the addition of any minerals or salt in its composition.

If distilled water is injected into a patient, it may cause changes in the blood, turning the enviroment hypotonic, facilitating the passage of water and removing nutrients, salts and ions, as well as disrupting red blood cells (hemolysis) due to excess water, or even modify the pH of the blood, leading to several complications.

This created a hypotonic environemnt in the patient's bloodstream. The cells were diffused in water until it burst open. The pateints blood cells swelled and as a result burst with water due to the high osmotic pressure caused by the distilled water.Jan 8, 2016

A) In the Dunker population, the frequency of IB allele is 0.3 and the frequency of i allele is 0.4. In the general population, the frequency of IB allele is 0.1 and the frequency of i allele is 0.5.

If:
$I^{A}$ - the frequency of IA allele
 $I^{B}$ - the frequency of IB allele
 $i$ - the frequency of i allele

Then:
 $I^{A} I^{A}$ + $I^{A} i$ - the frequency of individuals with A blood type
 $I^{B} I^{B}$ + $I^{B} i$ - the frequency of individuals with B blood type
 $ii$ - the frequency of individuals with O blood type

Let's first take a look on the Dunker population:
$I^{A} = 0.3$
$ii=0.16
$

Since there is only one possible genotype for O individuals - ii - the frequency of the allele i is square root of the frequency of O individuals:
 $i= \sqrt{ii}$
⇒ $i = \sqrt{0.16}$
⇒ $i=0.4$

Now, we have the frequencies of two alleles ( $I^{A}$ and $i$ ). To calculate the frequency of $I^{B}$ allele, we will use the formula:
 $I^{A} + I^{B} + i = 1$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1- I^{A} - i$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1-0.3-0.4$
⇒ $I^{B} = 0.3$

Now, in the general population:
$I^{A} = 0.4$
$ii=0.25$

Similarly to the work for the Dunker population:
 $i= \sqrt{ii}$
⇒ $i = \sqrt{0.25}$
⇒ $i=0.5$

$I^{A} + I^{B} + i = 1$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1- I^{A} - i$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1-0.4-0.5$
⇒ $I^{B} = 0.1$


b) A founder effect is a result of geographical separation of a few individuals from the original population. Those founding individuals will form a new population. The Dunker population was not only geographically separated, but also genetically. The group interbreeding was present resulting in increasing those allele frequencies that were the most common in the founding population. In this case, the most individuals from the founding population had B blood type.
