Answer: (p,q) = (0.27,0.73)

Explanation: In the island, the frequency of B1, which is dominant is: p=0.55 and for B2 is q=0.45. In total, there are 170 frogs.

Individuals with B2 allele in the island:

170*0.45 = 76.5

During the storm, 30 frogs with recessive characteristics went to the island, which means that the population of frogs which has recessive genotype increased, so did its frequency and general population:

New total of frogs: 170 + 30 = 200

New frequency of B2 frogs:

76.5 + 30 = 106.5

q^{2} =\frac{106.5}{200}

q = \sqrt{0.5325}

q = 0.73

With the frequency of recessive and as p + q = 1,

p = 1 - q

p = 1 - 0.73

p = 0.27

Thus, the new frequencies for B1 and B2 in the island is (0.27,0.73) respectively.

Studentka2010 [4]

The answer is; in the summer

Insects such as blowflies increase their population in the summers when the temperatures are warm. One reason is that most insects are ectotherms hence their body temperatures are dependent on ambient environmental temperatures. In addition, the maggot stage of the blowfly pupates mostly in warm and dry conditions hence increasing winged flies populations in the summer.

Which of the following statements about autosomal recessive traits is true?
meriva

Answer:

A. If neither parent expresses the trait, but the offspring does, both parents must be heterozygous for the trait.

Explanation:

If neither parents express the trait is because they are heterozygous and the dominant allele is being expressed over the recessive trait. When parents cross they have 25% of having an offspring that expresses the recessive trait, this means the offspring is a recessive homozygous. In the attached example 25% or 1/4 will have a short stem.

Answer:

Osmosis: Osmosis is the movement of solvent particles across a semipermeable membrane from a dilute solution into a concentrated solution. Diffusion: Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration. The overall effect is to equalize concentration throughout the medium.

What types of genes also have more than two phenotypes?
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

An organism which has two different alleles of the gene is called heterozygous. Phenotypes (the expressed characteristics) associated with a certain allele can sometimes be dominant or recessive, but often they are neither.

A synthetic toxin destroys the myelin covering your optic nerves and motor neurons. what effect will the destruction of myelin s
Marizza181 [45]
Myelin sheaths, which cover the axon of the nerve cells in the brain and spinal
cord, prevents the electric current from dissipating from the axon.
 Destroying the <span>myelin sheaths impairs the conduction of signals on the affected nerves, causing damage in every function that the nerve is involved, in this case will affect movements and vision.</span>
