What is the allele frequency?

Biology
2 answers:
Keith_Richards [23]3 years ago

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.

What benefit would an improved muscle tone from strengthening the quadriceps femoris muscles provide?
iogann1982 [59]
The answer to this question would be: better-stabilized knee joint

The quadriceps femoris muscle is located in the anterior part of the femur. This group of muscle is used for extension. It has no role in flexion, abduction or adduction. In general, training a muscle will stabilize the nearby joint. In this case, the quadriceps will stabilize the knee joint.

tiana has had a long hard day at work. after a 12 hour shift of being on her feet, she just wants to soak her feet and go to bed
Crank

Tiana has had a long hard day at work. after a 12-hour shift of being on her feet, she just wants to soak her feet and go to bed. before sticking her legs into the tub, she touches the water with her hand to gauge the temperature. The pathway involved in transmitting the sensation of heat from her right hand to the cerebral cortex is Somato sensory pathway.

  • The cerebral cortex is the outermost layer of the brain and is responsible for the higher-level process of language, memory, reasoning, and thought.
  • It is mainly divided into primary, secondary, tertiary and receives the sensory inputs from the body parts.

Hence from the above points, we can conclude that the pathway involved in transmitting the sensation of heat from her right hand to the cerebral cortex is Somato sensory pathway.
