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.

Verizon [17]

Answer:

  • to have cell walls made of chitin
  • eukaryotic heterotrophs

Explanation:

Domains are the highest taxonomic category in which living beings can be grouped or divided. There are three domains: archaea, bacteria, and eukarya.

The eukarya domain is composed of the Protist, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia kingdoms.

Kingdoms include different phyla closely related.

The Fungi kingdom includes yeasts, molds, and mushrooms. All of them are characterized by the same general aspects.

All the members of the kingdom

  • Lack mobility, growing on the ground, organic matter, or other surfaces.
  • They all have a rigid cell wall composed of chitin.
  • They grow like hyphae, which are cylindrical uniformed structures that might reach many centimeters in length.
  • Heterotrophic nutrition. The species can not produce their own food, so they decompose organic matter and get the nutrients from there.
  • Reproduction is by spores, which are resistant to adverse environmental conditions.

In which oceanic zone do clams and crabs survive by burrowing in the sand?
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Mesopelagic zone

Explanation:

The Mesopelagic zone, also referred to as the Twilight zone, is the second oceanic zone from the top, lying just bellow the Epipelagic zone. It is occupying the waters at depths between 200 meters and 1,000 meters. The sunlight is only managing to reach the top few meters of this zone, while the rest is not receiving any sunlight, thus this zone is not supporting the plant species because they need sunlight for the process of photosynthesis. There are lot of animal species that live in this zone though, and they are ll very well adapted for it, often having hard shells or heavily scaled bodies, larger lungs and heart, and very well developed gills. Some of the animals that live in here are the crabs and the clams. They have developed all the needed characteristics to live in this zone. Because they are prey to lot of larger animals, both the crabs and the clams have started to use the soft sediments at the bottom as cover, digging themselves below it, and mostly managing to evade trouble and end up as food for the other species.
