Answer:
500
Explanation:
According to the given information, the total number of albino people in the population= 1000/4 = 250.
Since albinism is an autosomal recessive trait, the genotype of albino people would be homozygous recessive. Therefore, the frequency of homozygous recessive genotype in the population (q2) = 250/1000= 0.25.
The frequency of recessive allele (q) = square root of 0.25 = 0.5
Since p+q=1. So, p (frequency of dominant allele) = 1-q = 1-0.5 = 0.5
Frequency of heterozygotes in the population= 2pq = 2 x 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.5 or 50%
Therefore, expected number of heterozygotes in the given population= 50% of 1000 = 500
Answer:
The correct answers are "heterozygous", and "homozygous dominant".
Explanation:
Galactosemia is a condition where people are not able to process the sugar galactose. People with this condition have one gene mutated, which does not allow the proper synthesis of the enzyme that breaks down galactose. Galactosemia is inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic condition, therefore, only children that are homozygous recessive develop the condition. Children that are heterozygous or homozygous dominant, will not develop galactosemia.
Answer:
Antibiotic resistance can evolved in bacterial population in the following ways:
Explanation:
- In response to constant exposure to antibiotics some members of a bacterial population develop some beneficial mutations in some essential genes that gives them survival advantage in terms of food and space over the sensitive bacterial strains and hence they are capable of out-competing the sensitive bacteria.
- This happens due to the process of Natural Selection.
- These genes are called antibiotic resistance genes and bacteria usually carry them on plasmids in form of cassettes where genes resistant to multiple drugs are incorporated. These plasmids are called the MDR or Multi-Drug Resistance Plasmids.
- These resistant plasmids can be easily transferred among bacterial populations by conjugation, transformation or transduction or direct plasmid transfer.
- The resistant genes encode for proteins that render the drug ineffective by promoting their efflux from the cells, preventing their entry into the cell, chemically modifying them such that they become non-functional or altering the target site of the drug.
Answer:
Carbon can bond with many elements
Explanation:
Carbon can bond with many elements, including itself, to form macromolecules. Moreover, it can form four bonds, and that makes possible many different arrangements of the atoms in the molecules.
A is <em>wron</em>g. Carbon is among the seven smallest elements in the Periodic Table.
C is <em>wrong</em>. Carbon is found in living things because it can form macromolecules, not the other way around.
D is <em>wrong</em>. Carbon can bond with many other elements beside itself.
1) A
2) B
3) C
4) D
5) E
6) F
7) G
8) H
The answers are already in the picture.
