If Huntington's disease is due to a dominant trait, shouldn't three-fourths of the population have Huntington's while one-fourth

has the normal phenotype? In large populations, Mendelian ratios are ineffective. Appearance of a trait in a population does not solely depend on its dominant or recessive nature. Natural selection is eliminating Huntington’s disease.

Answer:

Appearance of a trait in a population does not solely depend on its dominant or recessive nature.

Explanation:

The appearance of a trait in a population is not only dependent on its dominant or recessive nature.

Huntington's disease is caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes a protein called huntingtin (Htt). This mutation produces an altered form of the Htt protein, which causes the death of nerve cells (neurons) in certain brain regions. Even if caused by a dominant gene, Huntington's disease will only be expressed in 50% of people who inherit this gene from their parents. This will depend on the organism's gene expression and other factors besides the dominant character of this gene.

Where do the most amount of energy in food webs come from ?
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

A. The Sun

Explanation:

The farther down the food web or food chain you go, the less energy is transferred from one organism to the next. This means that by one organism consuming the other, the one doing the consuming will receive less energy than the one that it had just consumed had from whatever it ate.

Because the sun is the basis on all energy, and producers get their energy from the sun, it carries the most amount of energy.

How is the equilibrium constant calculated?
larisa [96]
The answer is the equilibrium concentrations or pressures of each species that occurs in the equilibrium expression, or enough information to determine them. These values are substitued into the equilibrium expression and the value of the equilibrium constant is then calculated.
