For a gene that determines wing color in butterflies, there are three possible genotypes: BB (blue wings), bb (white wings), and

Bb (white wings with blue blotches). A sample of 100 butterflies was collected, and the following was observed:
Wing Color Number of Butterflies
blue 60
white with blue blotches 30
white 10


What is the frequency of the Bb genotype in this population if it is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?

Answer: The frequency of the b allele is calculated as follows: since there are 2 alleles in each organism, total number of genes is 200. The number of white alleles is 10*2+30 (since there are 2 copies of the alleles in white organisms and 1 copy of the b allele in the white wings with blue blotches). So the total number of white alleles is 20+30=50 white alleles. The frequency of the white allele is then 0.25. So the frequency of the blue allele is 1-0.25=0.75. Since heterozygous term is 2*p*q, the frequency of the Bb genotype is 2*0.25*0.75=0.375. Hope that helped!

As DNA replication continues and the replication bubble expands, the parental double helix is unwound and separated into its two
liberstina [14]

Answer:

A. Helicases

B. Single strand binding proteins

C. Single strand binding protein

D. Topoisomerases

Explanation:

The helicases bind on the replication fork aiding in the unwounding of the DNA helix to allow for replication. The single strange binding proteins attach/bind to the separated single stranded DNA after the replication fork to prevent re-annealing of the single stranded DNA preventing Hydrogen bond formation that reanneals these two strands together. The topoisomerases are found just ahead of the replication fork preventing overwounding/ positive supercoils of the DNA. They do this by introducing breaks into the phosphate backbone of the DNA allowing them rotate forming negative supercoils and attaching the breaks once the DNA strand is relaxed.
