4. The Rh blood type response system is controlled by the D allele. The genotypes DD and Dd are Rh (Rh positive); dd is Rh- (Rh

negative). The Basque people from the border between France and Spain have the highest d allele frequency in the Rh system so far reported. In one study of 400 individuals, 230 were found to be Rh and 170 Rh-. Calculate the frequencies of the D and d alleles, the genotype frequencies, and the proportion of Rh individuals who are heterozygous. (Assume the genotypes are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium).

Answer:

A - Frequency of D allele = 0.35

Frequency of d allele = 0.65

B- Frequency of DD genotype = 0.1225

Frequency of Dd genotype = 0.455

Frequency of dd genotype = 0.425.

C - Total population = 400

Frequency of heterozygous population = 400*0.455 = 183.

EXPLANATION:

The equilibrium sum of all the allelic frequency of a gene is always 1 and sum of all the genotypic frequency of all the genotype is always 1 - This is according to Hardy-Weinberg.

So p+q =1

p2+ 2pq+q2 =1

where p = frequency of dominant allele

q is the frequency of the recessive allele.

from the question, it was given that there were  170 individual out of 400, which were Rh- negative,

So q2 = 170/400 = 0.425

q= 0.65

Also p+q =1

so p = 1-q

or p = 1-0.65

Hence p =0.35

Frequency of homozgupus for D allele = 0.35*0.35 = 0.1225

Frequency of heterozygous or Dd will be 2pq.

or 2*0.35*0.65 = 0.455

A - Frequency of D allele = 0.35

Frequency of d allele = 0.65

B- Frequency of DD genotype = 0.1225

Frequency of Dd genotype = 0.455

Frequency of dd genotype = 0.425.

C - Total population = 400

Frequency of heterozygous population = 400*0.455 = 183.

Answer:

A - Frequency of D allele = 0.35

Frequency of d allele = 0.6

B- Frequency of DD genotype = 0.1225

Frequency of Dd genotype = 0.455

Frequency of dd genotype = 0.425

C- Frequency of heterozygous population = 400*0.455 = 183

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium sum of all the allelic frequency of a gene is always 1 and sum of all the genotypic frequency of all the genotype is always 1.

So p+q =1

p2+ 2pq+q2 =1

here p = frequency of dominant allele

q is the frequency of the recessive allele.

Given that there we 170 individual out of 400, which were Rh- negative So q2 = 170/400 = 0.425

q= 0.65

Also p+q =1

so p = 1-q

or p = 1-0.65

Hence p =0.35

Frequency of homozgupus for D allele = 0.35*0.35 = 0.1225

Frequency of heterozygous or Dd will be 2pq.

or 2*0.35*0.65 = 0.455

A - Frequency of D allele = 0.35

Frequency of d allele = 0.65

B- Frequency of DD genotype = 0.1225

Frequency of Dd genotype = 0.455

Frequency of dd genotype = 0.425.

C - Total population = 400

Frequency of heterozygous population = 400*0.455 = 183.

How can insulin deficiency lead to an increase in blood glucose concentration?
MakcuM [25]

When insulin is deficient , GLUT4 transporters are not inserted into the cell membranes , glucose is not transported into the cells and the blood glucose concentration increases.

Insulin deficiency provides more amino acid and glycerol substrates for glucose synthesis  ie increased gluconeogenesis .

With a deficiency of insulin, there is both increased hepatic glucose production through increased glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis as well as decreased glucose use. The result is hyperglycemia.

The study of anatomy is divided into two fields, gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy. Which of the following scenarios involve
tatuchka [14]
Human anatomy deals with the study of the human body, its structures, and how these structures specifically function. Microscopic anatomy on the other hand deals with structures found within the body that cannot be seen by the naked eye but can be viewed with the use of the microscopic. Microscopic anatomy deals with the study of the smallest structures of the cells, tissues, and organs of the body.
