Color in McIver beetles is determined by two alleles at one gene locus. McIver beetles must have a heterzygous genotype (genotyp

e A1A2) in order to have a brown color phenotype. Calculate the frequency of the brown beetles in the population if the frequency of the A1 allele is 0.8.

Answer: The frequency of brown beetles is 0.32.

Explanation: The frequency of A1 allele is 0.8. As p+q=1, or the sum of dominant and recessive frequencies equals 1 or 100%:

1 - 0.8 = 0.2

In Hardy-Weinberg principle,

p^{2} + 2pq + q^{2} = 1

2pq represents the frequency of heterozygote individuals, so:

genotype A1A2 = 2*0.8*0.2 = 0.32.

Thus, the frequency of brown beetles (A1A2) in the population is 0.32.

Explain three ways in which red blood cells are adapted to their function​
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Red blood cells are adapted to their function by:

1) They contain haemoglobin - a red protein that combines with oxygen. they have no nucleus so they can contain more haemoglobin.

2) They are small and flexible so that they can fit through narrow blood vessels.

3) They have a biconcave shape (flattened disc shape) to maximise their surface area for oxygen absorption.

Hope this helps! :D

An individual heterozygous for the A and B alleles has a blood type of AB. What type of inheritancepattern is this?
Inga [223]

The correct option is the first one "Codominance", since both alleles are expressing at the same time.

When not enough oxygen is available to cells during rigorous exercise, muscle cells must convert pyruvate to __________ to gener
Kipish [7]

The correct answer is: A) lactic acid.

During the exercise, muscle cells use anaerobic respiration in order to make enough energy in the form of ATP. Anaerobic respiration doesn’t require oxygen, but glucose is broken down to produce energy. Glucose is broken down to pyruvate in the process called glycolysis. Next step is convert of pyruvate into lactic acid (or lactate).

During the exercise, the oxygen level in muscle cells decreases, which results in anaerobic respiration of the cells.
