You are on the scene of a 3-year-old patient who is in respiratory distress. the mother states that the patient has been making

a barking cough for the past 24 hours. the child is very scared and upset. he is crying inconsolably. the patient has tachypnea, but his vital signs are normal otherwise. he is leaning forward in the tripod position and is drooling profusely. what condition do you suspect?

Answer:

The correct answer is epiglottitis.

Explanation:

Swelling and inflammation of the epiglottis is known as epiglottitis. It is generally caused due to an infection, however, can sometimes also result due to a throat injury. Some of the symptoms of the condition are difficulty and pain at the time of swallowing, severe sore throat, difficulty in breathing that may get better when leaning forwards, breathing sounds becomes high-pitched and unusual, hoarse or muffled voice, and drooling.

Knowing that some individuals from Island 1 colonized Island 2, biologists sample the Mainland and two Island populations fifty
raketka [301]

Answer:

The evolutionary mechanism that could be influencing the allele frequencies between both islands and the mainland population might be Founder Effect.

Explanation:

Genetic drift is the random change that occurs in the allelic frequency of a population through generations. The magnitude of this change is inversely related to the size of the original population. These changes produced by genetic drift accumulate in time and eventually, some alleles get lost, while some others might set. Genetic drift affects a population and reduces its size dramatically due to a disaster -bottleneck effect- or because of a population split -founder effect-. In <u>founder effect</u>, a new population originates when a few individuals who are coming from a bigger population carrying its genes, settle down in a new area and reproduce. This small population might or might not be genetically representative of the original one. Some rare alleles might be exceeded or might be completely lost. Consequently, when the small population increases in size, it will have a genetically different composition from the original one. In these situations, <u>genetic variability is reduced</u> and there exists the possibility of developing a peculiar allelic composition. If the number of individuals that originated the new population is low, the founder effect will be very extreme, because the effects of the genetic drift are inversely proportional to the original number of individuals.  

<em>In the exposed situation, the evolutionary mechanism that could be influencing the allele frequencies between both islands and the mainland population might be Founder Effect. The fact that both islands are similar in their frequencies might be due to little genetic variation on island 1, or because dispersion to island 2 is a recent event on time. </em>

Considering the same population of cats as in Part A, what is the expected frequency of each genotype (TLTL, TLTS, TSTS ) based
zaharov [31]

Answer:

P = f(TLTL) = 0,16

H = f(TLTS) = 0,48

Q = f(TSTS) = 0,36

Explanation:

Hello!

The allele proportion of any locus defines the genetic constitution of a population. Its sum is 1 and its values ​​can vary between 0 (absent allele) and 1 (fixed allele).

The calculation of allelic frequencies of a population is made taking into account that homozygotes have two identical alleles and heterozygotes have two different alleles.

In this case, let's say:

f(TL) = p

f(TS) = q

p + q = 1

Considering the genotypes TLTL, TLTS, TSTS, and the allele frequencies:

TL= 0,4

TS= 0,6

Genotypic frequency is the relative proportion of genotypes in a population for the locus in question, that is, the number of times the genotype appears in a population.

P = f(TLTL)

H = f(TLTS)

Q = f(TSTS)

Also P + H + Q = 1

And using the equation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the genotypic frequencies of equilibrium are given by the development of the binomial:

p^{2} = f(TLTL)

2pq = f(TSTL)

q^{2} = f(TSTS)

So, if the population is in balance:

P = p^{2}

H = 2pq

Q = q^{2}

Replacing the given values of allele frecuencies in each equiation you can calculate the expected frequency of each genotype for the next generation as:

f(TLTL) = P = p^{2} = 0,4^{2} = 0,16

f(TLTS) = H = 2pq = 2*0,4*0,6 = 0,48

f(TSTS) = Q = q^{2} = 0,6^{2} = 0,36

I hope you have a SUPER day!
