Why does female body shed the lining of the uterus if an ovum is not fertilized?

Biology

Dafna11 [192]3 years ago

<span>If an ovum is not fertilized, the female body shed the lining of the uterus in a process called menstruation. Not releasing the non-fertilized egg will cause complications to the uterus of women. Think of it this way: Every month, the uterus readies the body for pregnancy through setting up a wall on the uterus where the fertilized egg is cradled and nourished. When ovum is not fertilized, the body will release the build-up in the lining through monthly menstruation to clear the uterus from possible infection.</span>

A recessive allele causes phenylketonuria (PKU) when homozygote. If the frequency of the recessive allele is 0.05 in the populat
Radda [10]

Answer:

0.095

Explanation:

Phenylkentonuria is a disease caused by a recessive allele.

The frequency of the recessive allele + the frequency of the dominant allele equals 1.

The frequency of the recessive allele is q = 0.05

The frequency of the dominant allele then is p = 1  - q = 0.95

If people mate randomly, the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype will be p², the frequency of the heterozygous genotype will be 2pq and the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype will be q² .

2pq=2× 0.05 × 0.95

2pq=0.095

The heterozygote frequency in the population is 0.095
