In one generation, the frequency of the A allele is 70 percent and the frequency of the a allele is 30 percent. What are the cha

nces of an individual in the next generation having the genotype aa if the population is in genetic equilibrium? 49% 42% 30% 9%

Answer:

The correct answer would be 9%.

As the population is in genetic equilibrium, then the population must be following the Hardy-Weinberg equations:

p + q  = 1 and

p² + q² + 2pq = 1

The frequency of A (dominant allele) in a population is 70 percent.

Thus, the value of p would be 70/100 which comes out be 0.7

Similarly, the value of q would be equal to 0.3

The frequency of individual with homozygous recessive genotype, that is, aa would be equal to q².

So, q² = (0.3)^{2} ⇒ 0.09

Thus, the frequency of individual with genotype aa would be equal to 9 percent.

9%

Why?
The frequency for allele a is 30% or 0.3. Let's call this frequency p.
p^2 would then represent the frequency of genotype aa (this is is derived from the formula p^2+2pq+q^2=1 where p and q represent alleles a and A respectively. So p^2=aa, pq=Aa and q^2=AA)
0.3^2=0.09 or 9%

Answer:

possible differences resulting from using two different breeds of dog

Explanation:

The question above presents a scientific experiment carried out by students Pablo and Johanna from the biology course. In this experiment, they both compare the results of different diets on their dogs. Up to this point, the experiment was being established correctly, since the variables independent (the composition of the dogs' diet) and dependent (the influence of the diet on the dog) were defined. However, these students made a mistake in using dogs of different breeds.

In an experiment, everything must be very controlled and the treatments must be exactly the same. In the above case, the dogs are the treatments and the fact that they belong to different breeds, means that the results of the experiments can present significant differences, not providing a correct conclusion of the experiment.

What is substrate-level phosphorylation?
Lunna [17]

Answer:

D --  ATP synthesis when the phosphate donor is a substrate with high phosphoryl transfer potential

Explanation:

Substrate- level phosphorylation is the synthesis of ATP from ADP by the transfer of phosphoryl group from a substrate with high phosphoryl group potential to the ADP molecule.

In substrate-level phosphorylation, the donor is a phosphorylated intermediate molecule with a high phosphate transfer potential and it is a way through which phosphate in introduced into a molecule, the other two ways are oxidative phosphorylation and photophosphorylation. In substrate-level phosphorylation, a PO4^2- is transferred from a phosphate intermediate (substrate) to ADP to form ATP. Phosphorylase and kinases are enzymes involved in this reaction. An example is the reaction in glycolysis which involves phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP to form Pyruvate and ATP. This is to ensure adequate supply of energy to cells and also during anoxia so as not to make mitochodria strain the glycolytic ATP reserves.
