A mainland and an island are both inhabited by brown and white mice. Allele A1 codes for brown coat color; allele A2 codes for w

hite coat color. A1 is dominant to A2 .
Mice do not swim between the mainland and the island, and there are no shipping routes to the island, thus mice cannot hitch a ride on ships. During storms, however, some mice get "rafted" to the island on logs.

The island contains 240 mice. The frequency of the A1 allele is 0.85; the frequency of the A2 allele is 0.15.

On the mainland, the frequency of the A1 allele is 0.55; the frequency of the A2 allele is 0.45.

During a severe storm, 60 mice from the mainland are rafted to the island. What are the new frequencies of A1 and A2 on the island after the storm?

Enter your answer as two numbers (each to two decimal places), separated by a comma. (Example: 0.56, 0.44)

Answer:

0.79, 0.21

Explanation:

The frequency (f) of an allele A = \frac{number of copies (i)}{population of sample size (N)}

f=\frac{i/N}

i= f × N

at the island:

Total number of mice on the island = 240

frequency of A1 allele = 0.85

frequency of A2 allele = 0.15

no of copies of A1 allele =0.85 × 240

=204 A1

no of copies of A2 allele = 0.15 × 240

= 36A2

at the mainland:

60 mice are rafted from the mainland to the island i.e no of mice on the mainland before they were being rafted = 60

frequency of A1 allele =0.55

frequency of A2 allele = 0.45

no of copies of A1 allele = 0.55 × 60

=33 A1

no of copies of A2 allele = 0.45  × 60

=27 A2

Total new number of mice on the island= 240+60= 300

New frequencies of allele A1 will be:

(no of copies of A1 allele on island and mainland / Total new number of mice on the island(population of sample size))

=204+33/300

=0.79 A1

New frequencies of allele A2 will be:

(no of copies of A2 allele on island and mainland / Total new number of mice on the island)

36+27/300

=0.21 A2

Final maturation process of sperm in female tract before fertilization accomplished by binding of sperm to a glycosaminoglycan
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Mammalian fertilization comprises sperm migration through the female reproductive tract, biochemical and morphological changes to sperm, and sperm-egg interaction in the oviduct. Recent gene knockout approaches in mice have revealed that many factors previously considered important for fertilization are largely dispensable, or if they are essential, they have an unexpected function. These results indicate that what has been observed in in vitro fertilization (IVF) differs significantly from what occurs during “physiological” fertilization. This Review focuses on the advantages of studying fertilization using gene-manipulated animals and highlights an emerging molecular mechanism of mammalian fertilization.

What type of organism is likely to live on a dead tree in a dense forest
allsm [11]

The answer is; raccoons and rodents

Racoon will burrow in the soil or tree logs and form a den where they can litter. When threatened, the raccoon can retreat to its hideout or climb a tree. Rodents also scrawl the bottom of the forest finding food. They also love to burrow or hide in crevices of fallen tree trumps or rocks.
