Imagine you are a geneticist interested in studying a newly discovered species of very colorful birds. You have found that a sin

gle gene is responsible for their beautiful colors and that yellow birds are homozygous for the yellow allele, blue birds are homozygous for the blue allele and green birds are heterozygous for these alleles. You focused your efforts on studying one specific population and counted 9% yellow, 49% blue and 42% green birds. What are the allele frequencies in this population?\

The frequency <em>p</em> of the yellow (A) allele is  <em>p</em>= 0.3

The frequency <em>q</em> of the blue (a) allele is  <em>q= </em><em>0.7</em>

Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium,  states that allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation. Equilibrium is reached in the absence of selection, mutation, genetic drift and other forces and allele frequencies p and q are constant between generations. In the simplest case of a single locus with two alleles denoted A and a with frequencies f(A) = p and f(a) = q, the expected genotype frequencies under random mating are f(AA) = p² for the AA homozygotes, f(aa) = q² for the aa homozygotes, and f(Aa) = 2pq for the heterozygotes.  

p²+2*p*q+q²= 1       p+q= 1     q= 1-p

yellow (p²)= 9%= 0.09               p= √0.09= 0.3

green (2*p*q)= 42%= 0.42        

blue (q²)=49%= 0.49                q=1-0.3= 0.7 <em>or</em> q= √0.49= 0.7

Answer:

space

Explanation:

they figured it out going to space and since a star is a small peice of the sun they can't touch it it's impossible without getting heat burns or dying so they ither observe a star using a telescope or went to space for days

A drug binds to a receptor in the nucleus. This binding turns on a gene to make a protein. This drug is ____. lipophilic and hyd
Serjik [45]

The drug that to a receptor in the nucleus. This binding makes on a gene to make a protein. This drug is actually lipophilic and hydrophobic, the correct option is A.

What is receptor?

In biochemistry and pharmacology, receptors are protein-based chemical frameworks that transmit and receive signals that can be assimilated into biological systems.

As the drug is crossing the lipid membrane so it should be lipophilic and hydrophobic to be able to bind the receptor as in the given situation.

Thus, the correct option is A.

How does phospholipid structure relate to the selective permeability of the plasma membrane? a critical feature of the plasma me
Katen [24]
The structure of plasma membrane makes it selectively permeable allowing it to regulate the passage of substances into and out of the cell. Small nonpolar molecules can easily across the phospholipid bilayer of plasma membrane because it is hydrophobic. Polar molecules and ion cannot easily across the hydrophobic portion of plasma membrane because it is hydrophilic. Polar molecules and ions usually across the plasma membrane with the help of transport proteins.
