Answer:
40 individuals
Explanation:
The homozygous recessive percentage is equal to q2.
Recessive genotype frequency, q 2 is 1/1000000 = 0.000001
therefore, q = 
= 
= 0.001 = allele "a" frequency
and p + q = 1, thus, p = 1 – q = 1 – 0.001 = 0.999
thus, the frequency of allele a = q = 0.001 and the frequency of allele A = p = 0.999
Carriers are heterozygous and are equal to 2pq.
So, 2pq = 2 x 0.999 x 0.001 x 20,000 = 39.96 (round of to 40)
Hence, 40 individuals will be expected to carry the recessive allele.
Answer:
Radon 222.
Explanation:
This is a chemically inert gas that is colourless and odourless but it is radioactive. It is produced by uranium in rock. From seeping through foundation, its accumulation can cause lung cancer. Also, as a radioactive gas, it can be also used to in hospitals to cure ailments which includes tumour , cancer and other diseases.
Answer:
a) Genes b and c are farthest apart.
Explanation:
Transformation occurs when a competent bacteria cell takes up genetic material from the environment. Usually a donor cell donates its gene fragment which is then incorporated into the chromosome or plasmid of recipient bacterial cell.
Cotransformation occurs when two genes are taken up together by the recipient. The closer the genes lie to each other, more are the chances of them being taken up together. Contransformation frequency will be higher if two genes are close to each other. Here, cotransformation frequencies between three genes are given. Amongst them, the lowest frequency is 0.0064% which is present between gene b and c. Hence, gene b and c are the farthest apart.
Answer:
The correct answer is - osmosis.
Explanation:
Paramecium lives in freshwater like the Potomac River which is hypotonic to the cytosol of the paramecium. Paramecium uses contractile vacuoles to transport the water from the lower concentration (outside of the cell) to a high concentration of solvent to the inside of the cells.
This process of cell transport is carried out by osmosis as their cytoplasm contains a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell. This excess water is collected into vacuoles called contractile vacuole that swells and finally internalized the water to the outside of the cell.
Thus, the correct answer is - osmosis.
Lactobacillus<span> is a genus of Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic or microaerophilic, rod-shaped, non-sporeforming bacteria. They are a major part of the lactic acid bacteria group (example: they convert sugars to lactic acid).</span>
