If selfing starts in a previously randomly mating population composed of 0.50 heterozygotes, what is the frequency of heterozygo

sergeinik [125]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

So after the third generation of selfing, 0.0625 population will be hetero zygous.

Explanation:

Selfing or in another term self-breeding lead to the loss of heterozygosity which ultimately decreased the genetic variation of any population. Selfing in each successive generation cause the loss of 50% heterozygosity from parental one

if a randomly mating population start selfing with 50% heterozygosity then after three generations following result will be obtained

F1-0.25%

F2-0.125%

F3-0.0625%

The transmission of genetic material from one generation to the next is necessary for the survival of a species. Which statement
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

The correct answer would be B) The complementary base pair rules.

DNA serves as the genetic material in most of the living organisms and is transmitted from parents to their offspring.

It is like blue print of the cell which contains all the necessary information required for the functioning and regulation of cell in the form of nucleotide sequences.

Generally, DNA consists of two strands which are complementary in nature i.e. purine base pair with its specific pyrimidine (adenine always base pair with thymine and guanine always base pair with cytosine).

This property of DNA is of utmost importance in the process of DNA replication as daughter DNA strand is formed on the basis of complementary base pair of the template strand.

It ensures that correct DNA sequence is produced for transmission to the offspring or daughter cell.

What are the two ways that organisms on the bottom of deep sea food chains acquire energy? a. photosynthesis and chemosynthesis
aliina [53]

The correct answer is (B)  chemosynthesis and marine snow  are the two ways that organisms on the bottom of  deep sea food chains acquire energy.

What is the meaning of chemosynthesis and marine show?

Chemosynthesis is the utilization of energy supplied by inorganic chemical processes to make food in bacteria and other organisms. To generate a sugar, all chemosynthetic organisms require energy provided by chemical processes, although various species employ different methods.

Marine snow is a shower of biological particles that falls from the upper ocean to the deep sea.  Marine snow refers to biological material that descends from higher in the water column. Some flakes fall for several weeks before reaching the ocean floor.
