A hypothetical population of 10,000 humans has 6840 individuals with the blood type AA, 2860 individuals with blood type AB and

300 individuals with the blood type BB. If the next generation contained 25,000 individuals, how may individuals would have BB blood type, assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Express as a whole number.

Answer:

750

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where,

p = frequency of dominant allele

q = frequency of recessive allele

p² = frequency of homozygous dominant genotype

2pq =  frequency of heterozygous genotype

q² = frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

Here,

q² = BB = ( 300/10000 )

= 0.03

If the population is in HWE, next generation would also have the same frequency of BB genotype.

Number of offspring in next generation = 25000

BB blood type offspring = 0.03 * 25000 = 750

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

choanoflagellates and sponges are sister groups

Explanation:

The choanoflagellates are small unicellular organisms belonging to the Protista kingdom. These microorganisms are collared flagellates morphologically similar to the choanocyte cells of animal sponges, which have a central flagellum surrounded by a collar of microvilli. In consequence, it has been suggested that choanoflagellates may represent the closest living relatives of primitive metazoans (i.e., they are sister groups to sponges). This hypothesis has recently been supported by both molecular phylogenetic and comparative genomic analyses.

<u>Condensation</u> is the next step in the water cycle that is most likely to happen next as water molecules evaporate from a lake near the equator and rise into the atmosphere, as shown in the diagram below. and as the molecules travel away from the equator.

Explanation:

As the warmer air mass rises into the upper atmosphere, at the equator, it begins to cool because temperatures drop with altitude. The relative humidity of the air mass increases until it reachesdew point. The water vapor begins to condense into water droplets.

This air mass begins moving towards the poles (away from the equator) bringing with it clouds (condensed water vapor) that precipitate later on. This air mass begins to sinks because it has become denser with a decrease in temperature. As it sinks it replaces the air mass moving to the equator. The air rushing to the equator is  replacing the rising warm air mass at the equator. This cycle continues.

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

c. accidental removal of the parathyroid glands during surgery

Explanation:

Parathyroid gland is found closely situated at the back of the thyroid gland in the human neck region. Regulation of serum calcium levels in the body is a major function of the parathyroid gland through the secretion of a hormone called parathyroid hormone or parathormone.

During the surgery conducted to remove the thyroid gland, it is very likely that the parathyroid glands were accidentally damaged or removed. This most likely led to the non--secretion of parathormone, which is responsible for secretion of calcium in the body, when calcium levels drop.
