PKU (Phenylketonuria) is an autosomal recessive disease, in which the synthesis of amino acid Tyrosine from Phenylalanine is blo

cked. As a result, an excess of Phenylalanine gets converted into phenylketones, which appear in the urine. In severe conditions it may also result in damage to the brain.The gene responsible for this is p, whereas the gene P is responsible for normal synthesis of Tyrosine. In a small population of Brazilian natives, the frequency of gene p, responsible for this disease, is 0.3. What must be the frequency of people who are heterozygous for this disease? ( p + q = 1, p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1)

B.0.35

The answer is; C

Use the Hardy Weinberg equiation for population in assumed equilibrium. ( p+q = 1)

If p = 0.3 then q=1-p = 1-0.3 = 0.7

People who are heterozygous for the disease are represented by 2pq = 2 * 0.3 * 0.7

0.42

Why is it argued that speech is only possible in modern homo sapiens and not in homo erectus or homo neanderthalensis? the brain

You decide to study two species of birds, both of which form monogamous pairs (one male and one female). In species 1, you find
TEA [102]

In two species of birds, both of which form monogamous pair(one male and one female), In species 1, you find that the eggs in a pair's nest are in fact almost always the offspring of that pair. In species 2, you are surprised to find that many of the eggs in a nest were actually fathered by males of neighboring pairs. Apparently, mating outside of monogamous pairings is widespread in species 2. we would expect that female of species 2 would have sperm from multiple males in their reproductive tracts.

  • This is because the species 2 are having many eggs.
  • These eggs were formed due to fertilization with multiple male bird partners.
  • As a result we can expect eggs with different genotypes.

Thus from the above points we can conclude that two species of birds, both of which form monogamous pairs, female of species 2 would have sperm from multiple males in their reproductive tracts
