Human albinism is an autosomal recessive trait. Suppose that you find a village in the Andes where 1/4 of the population is albi

no. If the population size is 1000 and the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with respect to this trait, how many individuals are expected to be heterozygotes?

Answer:

500

Explanation:

According to the given information, the total number of albino people in the population= 1000/4 = 250.

Since albinism is an autosomal recessive trait, the genotype of albino people would be homozygous recessive. Therefore, the frequency of homozygous recessive genotype in the population (q2) = 250/1000= 0.25.

The frequency of recessive allele (q) = square root of 0.25 = 0.5

Since p+q=1. So, p (frequency of dominant allele) = 1-q = 1-0.5 = 0.5

Frequency of heterozygotes in the population= 2pq = 2 x 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.5 or 50%

Therefore, expected number of heterozygotes in the given population= 50% of 1000 = 500

Answer:

(A): DNA and protein

(B): The case for proteins appeared stronger until the 1940s, especially since biochemists had identified them as a class of macromolecules with great heterogeneity and function specificity, essential requirements for the hereditary material. Moreover, little was known about nucleic acids, the physical and chemical properties of which seemed far too uniform to account for the multitude of specific hereditary traits of each organism

(C): Virulent strains are pathogenic (causing disease), whereas non-virulent strains are non-pathogenic (harmless) strains.
