Answer:

A) 198

Explanation:

Solution:

frequency of aa = q2 = 1/10,000 = 0.0001, q = 0.01

number of aa = 0.0001 x 10,000 = 1 individual

p + q = 1, p = 0.99

frequency of AA = p2 = 0.9801

number of AA = 0.9801 x 10,000 = 9,801 individuals

Aa = 2pq = 2 x 0.9801 x 0.01 = 0.0198 or 198 individuals

How do animals survive in both water conditions
Liula [17]

Answer:

they have adapted to the temperatur since water trafers water faster than air. (more info below)

Explanation:

animals also have adaptations to temperature control, as water transfers heat faster than air. At the end of the day, aquatic animals have a lot of adaptations for moving in the water, such as a streamlined design, flippers, and a swim bladder, which acts like a fish ballast.

hope this helped!

Two short-tailed Manx cats are bred together. They produce 3 kittens with long tails 5 short tails and 2 without tails. From the
Dmitry [639]

Answer and Explanation:

There are three phenotypes, so it seems that this an example of incomplete dominance, with the short tail being the intermediate form between long-tail and no-tail. Incomplete dominance is a condition where neither of the alleles completely dominates over the other one. Dominant alleles cannot completely cover up the recessive alleles. Descendents possess an intermediate phenotype between the two parental phenotypes and not the dominant one, which would appear if this would be the case of complete dominance.

<u>Available data:</u>

  • Two short-tailed Manx cats are bred together.
  • F1: 3 kittens with long tails, 5 short tails, and 2 without tails.

The T gene might express the tail trait. T allele expresses long the tail and is dominant over t allele which expresses the absence of the tail.  

So, homozygous dominant individuals, TT, are long-tailed animals

homozygous recessive individuals, tt, have no tail

Heterozygous individuals, Tt, are short-tailed animals, the intermediate form.

Cross: Two short-tailed Manx cats are bred together

Parental)  Tt    x    Tt

Gametes) T   t   T   t

Punnet Square)  T        t

                   T    TT     Tt

                    t     Tt       tt

F1)  1/4 TT = Long-tailed animals

     2/4=1/2 Tt = Short-tailed animals

     1/4 tt = untailed animals

The ratio 3:5:2 of the progeny in the example is close enough to the Mendelian ratio 1:2:1.

Ovules produced by an entirely green plant contain a rare mutation in a nuclear gene that is involved in chlorophyll synthesis,
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The plant will produce less chlorophyll

Explanation:

The plant still has a functional allele provided by the paternal gamete, thereby the leaves have this enzyme required for chlorophyll biosynthesis. In consequence, the plant can produce chlorophyll pigment but in less quantity, since it has only a functional allele coding for a key enzyme involved in the chlorophyll pathway

In early pregnancy, what hormone stimulates growth of the corpus luteum? human chorionic gonadotropin follicle-stimulating hormo
disa [49]
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is secrete by the embryo early in pregnancy to keep the corpus luteum for dying. This positive feedback will maintain the corpus luteum, which secretes Progesterone and Estrogens throughout pregnancy, in order to keep the endometrium well to nourish the embryo/fetus.
