A population of aliens with similar genetics as humans is affected by a homozygous recessive condition known as "xbziq." This co

ndition causes aliens to die at young ages because their digestive tracts are not able to effectively process food and obtain the necessary nutrients and energy from their diets. Approximately 2% of the newborn aliens have the xbziq condition. What is the carrier (heterozygote) frequency in the population?

Answer:

24%

Explanation:

The given genetic trait is homozygous recessive and the frequency of homozygous recessive genotypes in the population is 2%.

Therefore, frequency of homozygous recessive genotypes (q2) = 2% = 0.02

Frequency of homozygous recessive allele (q) = square root of 0.02 = 0.141

Since p+q =1 (here, p = frequency of dominant allele).

So, p= 1-q = 1-0.141 = 0.859

The frequency of heterozygous carrier genotypes in the population = 2pq = 2 x 0.141 x 0.859 = 0.24 or 24%

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with a venule.

Explanation:

A small blood vessel in the microcirculation, which connects the capillary beds to the veins is known as the venules. Various venules combine to form a vein. The walls of a venule are formed of three layers, that is, the inner endothelium formed of squamous endothelial cells, a middle layer of elastic and muscle tissue, and an external layer formed of fibrous connective tissue.  

The size of a venule ranges from 8 to 100 micrometers in diameter and are produced when capillaries come in close association. A venule refers to a small blood vessel that permits the deoxygenated blood high in carbon dioxide and waste products to return from capillary beds to the bigger blood vessels known as veins.

Question 4....??? What effect can bottleneck events have on population that have nearly become extinct????
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

The answer is; D

It reduces the diversity of the population because some variations in the population can be completely eliminated by the bottleneck effect. Even if the population recovers in population size, the genetic variation will have reduced as compared to the initial population before the bottleneck. For a mall population, this effect can be grave because the reduced genetic variation may mean that the population may be unable to adapt to new selection pressures hence may go extinct.
