Answer: The frequency of GG is 0.64

Explanation: using Hardy-weinberg equation

g^2 + 2Gg + G^2 =1 ................(1)

And the sum of the alleles at the locus must be 1.

Therefore:

G + g = 1 ..............................(2)

Since

G=0.8

g= 0.2

G^2 =GG (Homozygous G gene)

g^2 = gg (Homozygous g gene)

Using equation 1

GG+ (2×0.8×0.2) + gg =1

Therefore

GG + 0.32 + gg = 1

GG + gg = 0.68...............(3)

Solving equation 2

G + g = 1

g = 1 - G

Square both side

g^2 = (1 - G)^2 ...............4

Where g^2 = gg

Therefore gg = (1 - G)^2.............(5)

Substitute equation 5 into equation 3

GG + (1 - G)^2 = 0.68

Therefore

GG = 0.68 - (1 - G)^2

GG = 0.68 - (1 - 0.8)^2

GG = 0.68 - 0.04

GG = 0.64

How would you make 2.5 liters of an aqueous solution containing 150mM Tris (the MW of Tris is 120g/mole)? (Hint: Do the necessar
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

45 g of the solid Tris will be dissolved in 2.5 liters of water.

Explanation:

Recall that:

<em>Number of moles  = molarity x volume</em>

Hence, number of moles of Tris present in 2.5 liters, 150 mM solution:

= 150/1000 x 2.5 = 0.375 moles

Also, recall that:

<em>No of moles of substance = mass/molar mass.</em>

Hence, mass of 0.375 moles substance:

= no of moles of the substance x molar mass of the substance.

= 0.375 x 120 = 45 g.

Therefore, in order to prepare 2.5 liters, 150 mM of an aqueous solution of Tris, 45 g of the solid Tris will be dissolved in 2.5 liters of water.

masya89 [10]

Answer:

1. E.coli

2. Intestinal tract

Explanation:

E.coli bacteria are useful to humans when they live in the large intestine of humans. The large intestine is an important digestive structure as it is important for the reabsorption of the nutrients.

The E.coli living in the intestine use the available digested nutrients and synthesises the vitamin B and K which are absorbed and utilised by the human body.

Thus, E.coli and Intestinal tract is correct.
