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).

Two species regularly come into contact and form hybrids that have higher fitness than either of the parental species. What are
joja [24]

Answer:

hybridization is categorized as crossing organisms that have different traits to bring together the best of each. However, this can come with some post-zygotic barriers.

Reduced hybrid viability: hybrid offspring does not survive

Reduced hybrid fertility: hybrid offspring cannot reproduce

hybrid breakdown: first generation of hybrids are viable and fertile, however, their offspring (generation 3) are sterile.

In a dihybrid cross involving two autosomal traits on different chromosomes in which the parents are purebred for the opposite f
Simora [160]

Answer:

The question lacks options, the options are:

A) 1 out of 16

B) 3 out of 16

C) 6 out of 16

D) 9 out of 16

The answer is 1 out of 16

Explanation:

This is a DIHYBRID cross because it involves two different genes coding for distinct traits. One of the traits will be dominant while the other recessive. Hence, parents that are purebred for opposite forms of the trait means that one parent is homozygous dominant while the other is homozygous recessive. When these two parents cross, they produce F1 offsprings that all possess the dominant trait but heterozygous/hybrids.

When these hybrids are self-crossed, they produce four different combinations of gametes which when crossed using a punnet square will result in F2 offsprings with a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio according to Mendel's observation.

9 represents offsprings that are dominant for both traits

The two 3's represents offsprings that are recessive for one trait and dominant for the other respectively.

1 represents offsprings that are homozygous recessive for both traits.

Hence, 1 out of 16 offsprings will be homozygous recessive for both traits.

An operon is controlled by a repressor. When the repressor binds to a small molecule, it binds to DNA near the operon. The opero
larisa [96]

Answer:

Negatively repressible.

Explanation:

A control which occurs through repressor is known as negative control which may be inducible or repressible.

When a small molecule named as allolactose binds this repressor it leads to allosteric repulsion which removes repressor from the operator as a result of which RNA polymerase can start transcription. Allolactose is therefore known as inducer because it induces lac operon expression.

But here, the operator is active (induced) already so there is no need to induce the operon which means that it can only be repressed so that transcription could stop. So the answer is negatively repressible operon.
