A locus that affects susceptibility to a degenerative brain disease has two alleles, V and v. In a population, 16 people have ge

notype VV, 92 have genotype Vv, and 12 have genotype vv. Is this population evolving? Explain.

Answer:

Yes, the population is evolving

Explanation:

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that a population is not evolving if it is in hardy weinberg equilibrium as the alleles frequency do not change over time in generations.

In mathematical equation, the genotype frequency will be -P²+2Pq+q²=1 and allele frequency will be p+q=1, where p = dominant allele and q will be recessive allele.

In the question, since the observed genotype are-

P² - VV= 16

2Pq- Vv- 92

q²- vv- 12

<u>1. Calculate allele frequency</u>

Now we will calculate if the expected value is same or close or not.

We will calculate allele frequency

Population has 120 individuals which means it has - 240 alleles.

In which V (p) will be- 32 +92= 124 allele

p- dominant allele/ total allele=  124/ 240 = 0.52

P= 0.52

q will be 1-0.52= 0.48

<u>2. Expected genotype frequency</u>

Now we will calculate expected genotypic frequency.

P²- 0.52 X 0.52= 0.27

2Pq = 2 x 0.52x 0.48 =  0.5

q²= 0.48 x 0.48 =  0.23

<u>3. Expected progeny </u>

P²= 0.27 x 120= 32 VV

2Pq= 0.5 X 120= 60 Vv

q²= 0.23 x 120= 28 vv

Since the observed value is not equal to the expected value therefore the population is not in Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium and the population is evolving.

Thus, Yes, the population is evolving is correct.

Correct Completed  Questions; Susan, a 67 year old female is experiencing ataxia, or poor muscle coordination. Doctors perform a neurological exam and they find that Susan is not positive for the Romberg test. Describe what these findings suggest about the sources of Susan's ataxia.

Answer:s

In order to test for balance and positioning(proprioception)   as a measure of  neurological function, or to test level   of intoxication alcohol  during driving, Romberg test is usually conducted,which can be negative or positive.It is generally used to investigate the cause of loss of motor control in individuals.

Explanation:

A positive result  showed that her  ataxia was due to loss of positioning due to loss of  sensory from sensory neurons.However if negative as in the case of Susan, then it  is to due to abnormality/dysfunctions   in the cerebellum, and not due to loss of sensory functions,

Ivan

Eukaryotic transcripts (mRNA) have to undergo capping and splicing before it can be translated.

<h3>RNA processing:</h3>

1. An RNA transcript is first produced in a eukaryotic cell as a pre-mRNA, which needs to be converted into a messenger RNA (mRNA).

2. The RNA transcript is given a 5' cap at the start and a 3' poly-A tail at the end.

3. The process of splicing involves cutting out some RNA transcript segments (introns), then joining the remaining segments (exons) back together.

4. Some genes have the ability to alternate splices, which produces various mature mRNA molecules from the same beginning transcript.

The introns not only do not contain the information necessary to construct a protein, but they also need to be cut off in order for the mRNA to create a protein with the correct sequence. An mRNA with extra "junk" in it will be created if the spliceosome fails to remove an intron, and the translation process will result in the production of the incorrect protein.

Explain how scientific theories differ from scientific laws.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
<h2><em>In general, a scientific law is the description of an observed phenomenon. It doesn't explain why the phenomenon exists or what causes it. The explanation of a phenomenon is called a scientific theory. It is a misconception that theories turn into laws with enough research</em></h2>
