The original population of 200 was hit by a flash flood and 100 organisms were wiped out, leaving 16 homozygous recessive out of

the 100 survivors. If all individuals were equally likely to be wiped out, what was the effect of the flash flood on the population distribution/equilibrium? What is the frequency of homozygous recessive? What is the predicted frequency of heterozygotes? What is the predicted frequency of homozygous dominant?

Answer:

frequency of homozygous recessive = q² = 0.16

the predicted frequency of heterozygotes = 2pq = 2 × 0.4 × 0.6 = 0.48

the predicted frequency of homozygous dominant = p² = 0.6² = 0.36

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of recessive homozygous survivors = 16

Total number of population survivors = 100

Predicted frequency of homozygous recessive individuals (q²) = 16/100 = 0.16

Frequency of recessive allele (q) = √0.16 = 0.4

p + q = 1

∴ p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

Frequency of dominant allele (p) = 0.6

frequency of homozygous recessive = q² = 0.16

the predicted frequency of heterozygotes = 2pq = 2 × 0.4 × 0.6 = 0.48

the predicted frequency of homozygous dominant = p² = 0.6² = 0.36

p² + q² + 2pq = 1

0.16 + 0.36 + 0.48 = 1 (proved)

The reduction in population due to some event in the original gene is no longer in the surviving population. Since the population is now small, there is likely to be genetic drift.

The flash flood caused change in allele frequency leading to a micro evolution.

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

the atomic number is relates to the number of particles in an atoms nucleus because is the number of protons.

Explanation:

the nucleus of the atoms has neutrons and protons in its composition. The protons which is the positive charges of the atoms is the same quantity with the atomic number.

2. Copy/paste and align the first 5 bases of all introns. Which bases are conserved near intron start ("donor site")?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

Introns are non-coding regions of a DNA that removed by RNA splicing prior to translation. Alignment is usually done between sequences to see and understand the identity and similarity between two or more sequences.

A region/base is said to be conserved if there is  NO change in any base in that particular region. A multiple sequence alignment (MSA) can be used to align the donor sites of all the introns to see the bases that have not "changed" (and still remained in there exact position) hence conserved across all the donor sites.

NOTE: The donor site of an intron is the 5' end, thus the first five bases in the 5' end are to be used here
