1. If the frequency of two alleles in a gene pool is 90% A and 10% a, what is the frequency of individuals in the population wit

h the genotype Aa?
Biology

Illusion [34]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: 0.18

Explanation:

For the alleles, the percentage distribution of each is 'A' (90% = 0.9)

While 'a' (10% = 0.1)

Hence, 0.9 and 0.1 are the respective frequencies of each allele

Now, apply Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium equation, where heterozygotes are represented by the 2pq term.

Therefore, the number of heterozygous individuals (Aa) is equal to 2pq which equals

2 × 0.9 × 0.1 = 0.18

Thus, the frequency of heterozygote is 0.18, while the percentage distribution in the population is 18%

The viral pathogen that causes cold sores can remain inactive in the body for a long time between disease outbreaks. How is this
Serhud [2]

This disease is classified as a latent disease.

<h3>Classification of diseases</h3>

Latent disease is a classification of disease whereby the infectious agent remains inert in the body of its host between episodes of recurrent diseases.

Examples of viral pathogens that causes latent diseases include:

  • <em>Herpes simplex, </em>

  • <em>Varicella zoster, </em>

  • <em>Epstein-Barr</em>,

  • <em>Human cytomegalovirus, </em>

  • Adenovirus, and Kaposi's sarcoma.

The infection caused by the listed viral pathogens exhibit a latent disease phase whereby there is no noticeable symptoms of infection.

Loess is soil formed by
zzz [600]

Loess is a geologically material which is usually yellowish or brown in color and consisting of tiny mineral particles brought by wind to the places where they now lie. It is a sedimentary deposit of mineral particles which are finer than sand but coarser than dust or clay, deposited by the wind. Loess is a type of silt which forms fertile topsoil in some parts of the world. The soil has few clay particles to hold it together. It is composed mainly of quartz crystals which slide easily against each other, and is therefore very subject to erosion.
