Answer:
0.25%
Explanation:
20 people start the new population. So there are 20 genes or 40 alleles for the recessive disorder phenylketonuria. 2 out of 40 alleles are recessive for the condition hence frequency of the allele = 2/40 = 0.05
Frequency of the allele does not change when the population increases so it is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. According to it, if q is the frequency of recessive allele, q² = frequency of the recessive condition
Here, q = 0.05 So,
q² = (0.05)² = 0.0025
In percentage, it is 100 * 0.0025 = 0.25%
Hence, incidence of phenylketonuria in the new population is 0.25%
The reproductive system is different from other body systems in that the reproductive system functions in the survival of a species while all other body systems function to ensure the survival of the individual.
Answer:
4
Explanation:
Carbon has four valence electrons, so it can achieve a full outer energy level by forming four covalent bonds. When it bonds only with hydrogen, it forms compounds called hydrocarbons. Carbon can form single, double, or triple covalent bonds with other carbon atoms.
This rock can be classified as:
an igneous rock.
Igneous rocks are made up of
randomly arranged interlocking crystals and the important minerals that can be
found in igneous rocks are feldspars, quartz, olivines, pyroxenes, amphiboles,
and mafic minerals. All of these minerals are important in the formation of
almost all igneous rocks, and they are basic to their classification.
I believe it should match as the following...
sight in whales -----> eyeballs in cavefish
balance in monkeys -----> tailbone in humans
attachment point for limbs in frogs -----> pelvis bone in whales
