How do pathogens challenge an organism’s stability?

Biology
1 answer:
Brums [2.3K]4 years ago
3 0
Pathogens are any form of a disease causing bacteria, virus or any other microorganism. When they infect an organism, that organism now has to allocate precious resources in the form of energy in order to fend off the infectious microorganisms. In some other cases, an infection could be fatal to an organism completely and "stability" wouldn't really be the biggest worry for that organism. 

In conclusion, if you're talking about a larger, more evolved organism with a working immune system. Pathogens require a lot of energy to fight, and for some small organism without a developed immune system, pathogens could throw them off completely.

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
maksim [4K]
The answer is 0.42.

According to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium:
p + q = 1
p² + 2pq + q² = 1
where p is a frequency of a1 allele, q is a frequency of a2 allele, p² is a frequency of a1a1 genotype, 2pq is a frequency of a1a2 genotype, q² is a frequency of a2a2 genotype.

If <span>70% of the gametes produced in the population contain the a1 allele, then:
p = 70% = 0.7.
If p = 0.7 and p + q = 1, then q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3

So, the proportion of </span>the flies that carry both a1 and a2 (a1a2 genotype) is:
2pq = 2 * 0.7 * 0.3 = 0.42
