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)

Why conserve water? Because fresh water is rare and the process to clean water is expensive; therefore it shouldn’t be wasted. The next time you are tempted to waste water, think of all poor people who can’t afford clean water. Many children die and suffer everyday from dehydration and water that are unclean. :(

Similarities and differences between alga phyla?
ololo11 [35]
All organisms are grouped into five kingdoms. Those are Monera, Protoctista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia. The division is made based on 3 criteria. Those are cellular organization, arrangement of cells, and type of nutrition. Cellular organization is whether they are eukaryotic or prokaryotic. Cell arrangement is whether they are unicellular, multicellular, with or without true tissue differentiation etc. Type of nutrition is whether they are autotrophic or heterotrophic. Kingdom Protoctista includes algae, protozoans, oomycota and slime moulds.

How much atp is produced from one glucose molecule if no oxygen is available to a muscle cell during contraction?
andrew11 [14]
Production of ATP in the absence of oxygen is called anearobic respiration. Under anaerobic respiration,two molecules of ATP is produced from one molecule of glucose. These ATP are used for energy production by the contracting muscles.
