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

What role does the pancreas play in digestion
victus00 [196]

Enzymes, or digestive juices, are secreted by the pancreas into the small intestine. There, it continues breaking down food that has left the stomach. The pancreas also produces the hormone insulin and secretes it into the bloodstream, where it regulates the body's glucose or sugar level.

____________ is the process by which inhibitory transmitters cause the inside of the neuron to become more negative.
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Hyperpolarization

Explanation:

At the synapse, neurotransmitters bind to neurotransmitter receptors in the postsynaptic neuron’s plasma membrane. This results in the opening of the ions channels and the flow of specific ions to change the voltage across the membrane. An inhibitory neurotransmitter inhibits the firing of the action potential by making the inside of the membrane more negative. It is called hyperpolarization (inhibition).

It may occur when the neurotransmitter opens the Cl– or K+ channels to allow the movement of chloride ions into the cell while permitting the outward movement of potassium ions to make the inside of the cell more negative.
