Just considering one locus (a specific location on a DNA strand), evidence at a crime scene shows a genotype of 5, 9 STR repeats

at this locus. The general population frequencies for the alleles 5 and 9 are 0.100 and 0.300, respectively. How frequent would the genotype 5, 9 be expected to be in the general population

Answer:

0.1 x 0.3 = 0.03 = 3%

Explanation:

Assuming a process of random mating in the population, it is possible to infer that the genotype frequencies will be the product of the allele frequencies. The random mating is one of the postulates of the Hardy-Weinberg Law, which is widely used in population genetics to estimate genotypic frequencies when populations are expected to be in an equilibrium state (it is also expected by default in human populations).  In this case, the genotype frequencies will be certainly low (3%), thereby this locus may be useful to investigate a police case.

Although selection operates against deleterious alleles in populations, they are rarely lost from these populations. For example
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Deleterious alleles appear sporadically in a population

Explanation:

A population with a deleterious allele will have no or few individuals that have the ability to pass along these traits. These alleles appear less in a population because of selective pressure but they are not always absent. The alleles appear less often but are are not always passed on and the others that are genetically fit are able to pass along their genes. The reason the population equilibrium is not zero is because these alleles do appear but they are not necessarily passed along. These individuals may not be able to reproduce or reach the age of reproduction.

Deleterious alleles appear more often, making individuals less fit genetically, i.e. they pass fewer copies of their genes to future generations. Put another way, natural selection purges the deleterious alleles.

What’s the Answer to this
ad-work [718]

The disk diffusion test is used to compare the effectiveness of antibiotics. The incubated plate (results) will show bacteria growth except where antibiotic has effects. The more effective the drug, the inhibition zone will be greater. So the most effective antibiotic is the one that has the largest inhibition zone around the test site.
