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.

In what type of asexual reproduction are seeds produced even without the joining of sperm and eggs?
dem82 [27]
This type of asexual reproduction is called apomixis. 
Apoximis is reproduction by special generative tissues without fertilization. It includes parthenogenesis in animals, in which the new individuals develop from unfertilized egg, and apogamy in certain plants in which the generative tissues may be the sporophyte or the gametophyte.

hjlf
The initials will still be 4 feet above the ground.

Trees do not grow from the bottom up. At the branch tips there is meristem tissue, so called the apical meristem. Trees grow in height from these apical meristems, so trees grow from the top and the initials on the bottom of the tree will stay at the same height above the ground.

Drag and drop the appropriate labels into position to explain how this defect might cause mr. g's other problems.
marissa [1.9K]

How does Mr. G's altered blood flow explain his signs and symptoms? Drag and drop the appropriate labels into position to explain how this defect might cause Mr. G's other problems. Fill the boxes in order, starting with 1, then 2, etc

(Image attached)

Answer:

  1. When left ventricles contracts, some blood goes up through mitral valve into the left atrium, Turbulent flow through the valve causes systolic murmur. the atrium is overfilled and dilated.
  2. Because some blood re-entered the mitral valve, less is pumped out into the aorta. the ejection fraction is only 43%
  3. Less blood enters aorta, so SBP is low. Baroreceptor reflex causes increased heart rate; wall of overworked left ventricles becomes thicker
  4. Because its already partly full of blood from the ventricle, the left atrium accepts less blood from the lungs, the lungs overfilled with fluid; resulting in troubled breathing.

Explanation:

A murmur is a result from a abnormal blood flow to the heart.Its basically an unusual sounds that is heard between heartbeat A systolic murmur occurs when the heart muscles contracts. i.e they begin and end between S1 and S2.

From the above information, it seems like Mr G is experiencing mitral regurgitation. It is a condition where mitral valve doesnt close tightly and as a result the blood flows back from the left ventricle into the left atrium.
