If you observe a selection coefficient of 0.005 against recessive homozygotes, what is the relative fitness of these recessive h

omozygotes? (please give your answer to three decimal places)

4 0

Answer:

0.995

Explanation:

Given,

The selection coefficient as 0.005

The question pinpoints recessive homozygotes were selected against, the relative fitness

Fitness is in relation to the level of relative survival

The recessive homozygote being selected against, we use W = 1 - s

The formulae of interest

when recessive homozygotes were selected against, the relative fitness

   W   = 1 - s

       = 1- 0.005

       = 0.995 (3 decimal places).

Importance of channel proteins and carrier proteins
NISA [10]
Channel protein is important because it is embedded in the membrane and it also covers the membrane. This is important because the channel must transport the micromolecules and ions in and out of the cell. Carrier proteins are important because the carrier must transport the molecule in and out of the cell.

What would be the result if crossing over did not happen during meiosis in humans
Nataly [62]
The crossing over is a process that is essential to human genetic diversity. During the crossing over parts of the homologous chromosomes ( two chromosomes identical by structure, but different in origin, one inherited from the mother and one from the father) randomly exchange parts of their sequences.
If the crossing-over didn't exist, this would greatly decrease the genetic diversity, because the chromosomes would always bee passed o the next generations unchanged.
