Answer:

Meiosis is the foundation of sexual reproduction, as it is the process that actually produces the gametes involved in the process, via two main sets of stages. In addition to this, it is responsible for bringing about most of the diversity (genetic recombination if you will) that is seen in offspring and makes sexual reproduction so crucial in the first place.

Cheers.

A) In the Dunker population, the frequency of IB allele is 0.3 and the frequency of i allele is 0.4. In the general population, the frequency of IB allele is 0.1 and the frequency of i allele is 0.5.

If:
$I^{A}$ - the frequency of IA allele
 $I^{B}$ - the frequency of IB allele
 $i$ - the frequency of i allele

Then:
 $I^{A} I^{A}$ + $I^{A} i$ - the frequency of individuals with A blood type
 $I^{B} I^{B}$ + $I^{B} i$ - the frequency of individuals with B blood type
 $ii$ - the frequency of individuals with O blood type

Let's first take a look on the Dunker population:
$I^{A} = 0.3$
$ii=0.16
$

Since there is only one possible genotype for O individuals - ii - the frequency of the allele i is square root of the frequency of O individuals:
 $i= \sqrt{ii}$
⇒ $i = \sqrt{0.16}$
⇒ $i=0.4$

Now, we have the frequencies of two alleles ( $I^{A}$ and $i$ ). To calculate the frequency of $I^{B}$ allele, we will use the formula:
 $I^{A} + I^{B} + i = 1$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1- I^{A} - i$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1-0.3-0.4$
⇒ $I^{B} = 0.3$

Now, in the general population:
$I^{A} = 0.4$
$ii=0.25$

Similarly to the work for the Dunker population:
 $i= \sqrt{ii}$
⇒ $i = \sqrt{0.25}$
⇒ $i=0.5$

$I^{A} + I^{B} + i = 1$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1- I^{A} - i$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1-0.4-0.5$
⇒ $I^{B} = 0.1$


b) A founder effect is a result of geographical separation of a few individuals from the original population. Those founding individuals will form a new population. The Dunker population was not only geographically separated, but also genetically. The group interbreeding was present resulting in increasing those allele frequencies that were the most common in the founding population. In this case, the most individuals from the founding population had B blood type.

Answer: options are not given, here are the options.

Speed up

Slow down

Remain the same

The correct answer is In the presence of Antinomycin the Citric Acid Cycle would SLOW DOWN.

Explanation:

Actinomycin is an antibiotics gotten from streptomyces which is use to inhibit which inhibit mitochondriisl eclectron transport chain.It is a poison that affect the electron transport chain, non functional and it slow down citric acid cycle because it has the ability to block the electron Transport chain thereby slowing down citric acid cycle because it inhibit or slow down succinate-cytochrome c reductase in the electron transport chain so as to block the oxidation of NADH and ATP production.
