You are a population geneticist and you have recently visited a remote pacific island where you have discovered a race of giant

purple-skinned, seven-toed, three-horned dragons. in examining the new race you have discovered that a small number of the dragons have only six toes as opposed to seven and it seems to be genetically inherited trait. after a population survey, you have found that in a population of 1,378 dragons, 174 of them have only six toes. assuming the six-toed organisms are carrying a recessive trait, calculate the gene frequencies and the percentage of homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and recessive individuals on the island

Use the Hardy Weinburg equation of allelic frequency.

P2+2pq+q2=1

174/1378 = 0.126 = q2

Therefore q2 = 0.126; q = 0.355

If q = 0.355 and we understand that p + q = 1, then

P = 1 – 0.355 = 0.645

To find homozygous dominant population (p2);

(0.645)2 x 1378 = 0.416 x 1378 = 573

Heterozygous popualiton (2pq);

(2 x 0.645 x 0.355) x 1378 = 0.458 x 1378=  631

Recessive indviduals (q2) =  174

All of the following contributed to speciation in Darwin's finches except
neonofarm [45]
<span>The correct answer is C. lack of competition. It was exactly the opposite, the competition caused them to adapt and change their beak shape and size in order to be more proficient in getting food. This is what he described in his theory on how finches speciated and became genetically different from other finches similar to them.</span>

Data samples in which you expect no change to occur are_____.
mina [271]
The answer is negative controls. These are groups where no phenomenon is probable. They ensure that there is no effect when there should be no effect. Where there are only two possible outcomes, e.g. positive or negative, if the treatment group and the negative control both produce a negative result, it can be concluded that the treatment had no effect. If the negative control group and the treatment group both yield a positive result, it can be inferred that a puzzling variable is involved in the occurrence under study, and the positive results are not only due to the treatment. In other examples, outcomes might be measured as lengths, times, percentages, and so forth.

Using the images or terms, describe how parts of a cell interact to export proteins.
tino4ka555 [31]
A protein is a large sequence of amino acid that was translated in ribosomes (or rough endoplasmic reticulum) from a mRNA that was transcribed in the nucleus from DNA.
If the protein has an extracellular function (like immunoglobulin) if should be exocytosed from the cell. 
The protein in the cell is driven to the membrane into vesicles that have a specific receptor, which allows, while in contact with the inner side of the cell membrane to open it and let the protein being transported in the extracellular medium.

What make it animal or plant cell?​
liraira [26]

Answer:

A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage and maintaining the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles. Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. ... Animal cells simply have a cell membrane, but no cell wall.

Organism x has an enzyme optimum temperature of 37°C. Organism y has an enzyme optimum temperature of 41°C.
Tema [17]
The answer is D since organism x has a n optimal temperature of 37 degrees Celsius and when organisms y enzyme gets incorporated with enzyme x it will increase enzyme’s x temperature therefore enzyme x will denature meaning it will unfold and it will loose its properties hence loosing its activity because its temperature has been altered.
