Answer:

Option (b).

Explanation:

The frequency of alleles K and k in population are 0.6 and 0.4. The inbreeding coefficient is 0.3.

The heterozygote frequency can be calculated by the formula:

F = \frac{2Kk-H}{2Kk}

Here, K = 0.6, k= 0.4, F = 0.3 and H = approximate genotypic frequency of heterozygote Kk.

Put the values in the above formula

0.3 = \frac{2\times2\times0.6\times0.4-H}{2\times0.6\times0.4}

H = 0.36 ≈ 0.34.

Thus, the approximate genotypic frequency of the heterozygote Kk is 0.34.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

Which body systems interact to regulate blood pressure?​

Answer:

In addition to the local control of blood flow, global control of blood flow including changes in cardiac output and control of arterial BP is mediated by the autonomic nervous system. Global neural control of arterial hypertension is essentially through the sympathetic nervous system (SNS).
