What conditions are necessary for populations to remain in hardy-weinberg equilibrium

Biology

Answer:

There are five conditions that disrupt the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium:

Natural selection

Mutation

Genetic drift

Migration (gene flow)

Nonrandom mating

Explanation:

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was explored earlier in this lesson in relation to allele frequency and the number of genotypes and phenotypes. This equilibrium was developed by Godfrey Hardy and Wilhelm Weinberg completely independent of one another. The equilibrium states that if there are no external forces of evolution on a population, then the allele frequency of that population will never change. The individuals within a population would all look the same as each other.

Answer:

Large population

Random mating

No evolutionary mechanisms (mutations, genetic flow,, genetic drift, natural selection)

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg model, allele frequence (or genotype frequencies) will remain constant through generations in the absence of disturbing factors, evolutionary mechanisms. Such constant population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (no evolving population). Factor that can disturb equilibrium of the population are nonrandom mating, mutations, gene flow, natural selection, genetic drift.

According to Hardy-Weinberg model:

p2+2pq+q2=1 (p+q=1)

p2 is the frequency of dominant homozygous genotype

2pq is is the frequency of heterozygous genotype

q2 is is the frequency of recessive homozygous genotype

What does a plant need to create a glucose molecule in photosynthesis?

DerKrebs [107]

Answer: 1 glucose

Explanation: Basically, in photosynthesis, energy from light is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. For 6 carbon dioxide and 6 water molecules, 1 glucose molecule and 6 oxygen molecules are produced. So your answer is 1 glucose. BTW, I got my answer from Google and from the website called thoughtco Go check it out!

Into which chamber of the heart do the superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, and coronary sinus return deoxygenated blood? Cir

azamat

Answer:

Human heart is comprised of four regions, components, zones or muscular containers. As, the blood quality is regulated by the blood, by keeping the deoxygenated form of blood apart from the oxygenated form of blood inside the heart and then provide suffiecient amount of materials, solutes, and other nutrients to the different tissues and organs of the human body in a proper manner.

The deoxygenated form of blood is collected and brought to the right atrium by <u>the superior and inferior venacava</u>, as it provides a more safer route for the transportation of these materials in order to remove the unwanted substance from it by sending it back to the lungs through the pulmonary artery.

Inside the lungs the blood is cleaned up and then sent back to the heart in order to be pumped into the different portions of the heart.

What would be the most likely effect on the transcription of the trp structural genes for the mutation scenarios provided? mutat

blagie [28]

Answer:

I've responded to each scenario individually, please see below:

1. mutation that prevents ribosome binding to the mRNA

No transcription occurs

2. 5' UTR mutation that changes region 1 tryptophan codons into alanine codons

Transcription when alanine is low

3. mutation that creates a stop codon in region 1 of mRNA 5' UTR

Transcription occurs, a truncated protein will be made during translation

4. deletions in region 2 of the mRNA 5' UTR

Transcription occurs, region 1 and 2 might get paired together

5. deletions in region 3 of the mRNA 5' UTR

Transcription occurs, region 3 and 4 could combine to form a hairpin loop structure

6. deletions in region 4 of the mRNA 5' UTR

Transcription occurs, region 3 and 4 could combine to form a hairpin loop structure

7. deletion of the string of adenine after region 4 of the mRNA 5' UTR

Transcription occurs, however, it will not be as stable a molecule because of losing its polyA tail

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
