small group of 100 people decide to isolate themselves from the world and move to a small and remote deserted island. Out of thi

s population, 10 of the individuals have albino skin, which is due to the homozygous recessive condition (aa). Determine the frequency of the dominant (p) and recessive (q) allele? How many individuals would you expect to be homozygous dominant (AA), heterozygous (Aa) and homozygous recessive (aa)?

Answer:

Frequency of p = 0.684

Frequency of p = 0.316

Number of individuals with homozygous dominant (AA) = 47

Number of individuals with heterozygous (Aa)= 43

Number of individuals with homozygous recessive (aa) = 10

Explanation:

Out of 100 people, 10 have albino skin (aa)

So, the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals (q^{2}) is \frac{10}{100} = 0.1

Now, q will be

= \sqrt{q^{2} } = \sqrt{0.1} \\= 0.316

As per Hardy Weinberg's equation -

p + q = 1

Substituting the value of q in above equation, we get -

p + 0.316 = 1p = 1 -0.316\\p = 0.684

Now the frequency of homozygous dominant (AA) will be

p^{2} = 0.684^{2} \\= 0.467

Hence, out of 100 people 0.467 * 100 = 46.7 or 47 people are homozygous dominant (AA)

Like wise out of 100 people 0.1 * 100 = 10 people are homozygous recessive (aa)

As per As per Hardy Weinberg's equation-

p^{2} + q^{2} + 2pq = 1\\

Substituting the values in above equation, we get -

0.467 + 0.316 + 2pq = 1\\2pq = 1 -( 0.467+ 0.1)\\2pq = 0.433

So, out of 100 people 0.433 * 100 = 43.3 or 43 people are heterozygous (Aa)

Round seeds (R) are dominant to wrinkled seeds (r), and yellow seeds (Y) are dominant to green seeds (y). What is the expected p
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The correct answer would be- 1:1:1:1.

Explanation:

According to the question the cross between the two pea plants with the genotype RrYy and rryy where R for round seeds and r for recessive form that expressed wrinkled seed character. The other character of this dihybrid cross is the color of the seds Y for green and y for yellow seeds.

The cross is shown in the image attached that suggests that phenotypic ratio would be 1:1:1:1 as RrYy, Rryy, rrYy, and rryy.

Thus, the correct answer is : 1:1:1:1.

Which of the following bacterial cells would best be able to survive an attack by an antibiotic?
Goryan [66]

Answer:

c. A bacterial cell that lacked receptors on its surface for that antibiotic

Explanation:

If the bacteria lacks the receptors on its surface meant for that antibiotic then it will be best defense for the survival of that bacteria. It is receptors which interact with the antibiotic so as to permit it inside the cell. Therefore, in the absence of receptors, it doesn't matter how much antibiotic is lying in the external environment of that bacteria, the antibiotic will not be able to enter the bacterial cell to kill it. Hence, the bacteria will be able to survive easily.

VARVARA [1.3K]

The theory is most likely A) Valid. If a group of authorized scientists agreed on the theory, it would be valid. It would most likely be unreliable if it was only one scientist working alone and biased. If you don't have a group of scientists, the theory most likely won't be true because it hasn't been tested many times.
