There is a population of Drosophila flies in a small fruit shop

Alenkasestr [34]3 years ago

<span>The answer is A. p2 = 0.36, 2pq = 0.48, q2 = 0.16.</span>

<span>
</span><span>
Let's first distinguish alleles frequencies from genotypes frequencies:
p - a frequency of R allele,
q - a frequency of r allele,
p² - a frequency of RR genotype,
2pq - a frequency of Rr genotype,
q² - a frequency of rr genotype.</span>

<span>

<span>The gene frequency of allele r changes from 0.38 to 0.40, thus:
q = 0.40</span>

Now, we will implement this in the following equation:
p + q = 1

If q = 0.40, then:
p + 0.40 = 1
</span>⇒ p = 1 - 0.40<span>
</span>⇒ p = 0.60

<span>

<span>Now, the frequencies of both alleles are know and it is easy to calculate the genotype frequencies:
- the frequency of RR genotype: p² = 0.60² = 0.36</span>
- the frequency of Rr genotype: 2pq = 2 · 0.60 · 0.40 = 0.48
- the frequency of rr genotype: q² = 0.40² = 0.16</span>

<span>

<span>Therefore, the new genotype frequencies in that population are p2 = 0.36, 2pq = 0.48, q2 = 0.16.</span></span>

For water to travel across the cell membrane at a substantial rate the water molecules travel through protein channels known as
Kitty [74]
The appropriate response is Facilitated Diffusion. It is the procedure of unconstrained detached transport of atoms or particles over a natural film by means of particular transmembrane indispensable proteins. 
In the cell, cases of atoms that must utilize facilitated diffusion to move all through the cell film are glucose, sodium particles, and potassium particles. They pass utilizing transporter proteins through the cell film without vitality along the fixation slope.

Use the drop-down menus to answer the questions about genetic recombination. involves the transfer of genetic material from one
Tresset [83]

The right matches are:

• Involves the transfer of genetic material from one bacteria to another ==> Genetic recombination (all 3).

• Involves scraps of genetic material ==> Transformation.

• Uses a virus to transmit genetic material ==> Transduction.

• Uses a pilus to transmit genetic information ==> Conjugation.

• Introduces new genetic material to a bacterium ==> Genetic recombination (all 3).

In molecular biology the term genetic recombination is often used as a synonym for DNA recombination, that is, the processes by which one DNA (or RNA) molecule is cut off, then joined to another.

There are three possible mechanisms in the bacterium: bacterial conjugation, bacterial transformation and transduction.
