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:

They waited before crossing a busy street

Explanation:

Assume the graph looks like the one below.

It shows that, from Point B to C, the distance they were from home did not change.  They had stopped.

A possible interpretation is that they waited before crossing a busy street.

If they had begun accelerating, BC would have been steeper than AB.

If they had slowed their walk, BC would still point up. However, its slope would be less than that of AB.

If they had returned home, BC would point down and to the right.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer: the answer is option A. 5 → 1 → 6 → 3 → 2 → 4

Explanation: the events that describe progress of a protein that will be secreted from cell are as follows; Protein synthesis begins in the cytosol,  SRP binds to the growing polypeptide chain and to the ribosome, Translation pauses,  SRP binds to its receptor,   Translation resumes and finally - The signal sequence is cleaved. All these formed the sequence 5 → 1 → 6 → 3 → 2 → 4
