Ray Of Light [21]4 years ago
8 0

I have provided the options below:

a. 150

b. 225

c. 300

d. 450

e. 75

Answer:

150

Explanation:

Hardy-Weinberg law states, the allelic frequencies of a gene that is, q and p follow the relationship p^2+q^2+2pq = 1, if the population is in equilibrium.

Therefore p^2+q^2+2pq = 1, can be used to calculate the percentage of the allelic frequencies i.e. p^2 and q^2

Allelic frequency = 0.75.

Therefore, the percentage of the allele in the population would be given by

0.75^2 = 0.5625 = 56%.

And the total number of individuals with this allele in the population:

number of individuals = 56×300÷100

= 168 or

150 nearest figure.

Answer:

Option A, keystone species

Explanation:

Keystone species are responsible for controlling any species from becoming dominant over all other species. The keystone species are found at the top of all the energy pyramids and food chains.

They control the explosion of population of prey and hence regulate the overall ecological diversity.  

Some common example of keystone species is as follows –  

Bison, prairie dog, large mammalian predators,  

 

Hence, option A is correct

Describe the process used for harvesting adult stem cells
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Stem cell is taken either from bone marrow or from the blood directly

Explanation:

Stem cells are derived from two locations primarily a) Bone Marrow and b) Blood

The first step in this process is to remove the stem cell from its parent location and it is done in the following ways –  

A) For deriving stem cell from blood – A drug with growth factor s is injected. Here no anesthesia is given to the patient. The growth factors leads to the movement of stem cells from bone marrow into the bloods. Blood with stem cells is taken out from the veins and filtered through the apheresis machine.  

B) From Bone marrow – Bone marrow is removed from the pelvic bone through a needle and prepared for transplantation.
