Allele frequency is a measure of the relative frequency of an allele on a genetic locus in a population.

Usually it is expressed as a proportion or a percentage.

In population genetics, allele frequencies show the genetic diversity of a species population or equivalently the richness of its gene pool.

The frequencies of all the alleles of a given gene often are graphed together as an allele frequency distribution histogram.

Population genetics studies the different "forces" that might lead to changes in the distribution and frequencies of alleles - in other words, to evolution.

Besides selection, these forces include genetic drift, mutation and migration.

Last week you were wondering what Jessica and Tom's babies might look like with respect to their eyebrows and earlobes (both Tom
mash [69]

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

The possible genotypes and phenotypes are:

  • EE or Ee: thick eyebrows
  • ee: thin eyebrows
  • FF or Ff: free earlobes
  • ff: attached earlobes

Tom and Jessica have thick eyebrows and free earlobes. Tom's mother has attached earlobes, so Tom must have inherited an <em>f</em> allele from her, and because he has free earlobes he must be heterozygous<em> Ff. </em>We assume Jessica is homozygous for free earlobes <em>FF</em>.

Tom's mother and Jessica's father have thin eyebrows, so they are both <em>ee</em> and therefore both Tom and Jessica must be heterozygous <em>Ee</em>.

From the above information, Tom has the genotype EeFf and Jessica is EeFF. If you do a Punnett Square of this cross, you'll get that the probability of having a child with free earlobes and thin eyebrows (eeF_) is 25%.

All eukaryotic cells have a cytoskeleton, including plant cells, which have cell walls as well. What does the cytoskeleton in a
elena-s [515]
It acts as a framework inside the endoplasmic  reticulum  and keeps it from collapsing . it helps keep the organelles in place and directs their movement as needed . it keeps the DNA safely enclosed in the nucleus and holds the nucleus together . it provides anchoring places for the cell cytoplasm and help it move molecules .      maybe that help :)
