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

tes after three generations of selfing
Biology
1 answer:
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%

Where does the oxygen used in cellular respiration end up?
xz_007 [3.2K]

Oxygen used in cellular respiration ends up in ATP Synthesis in Oxidative Phosphorylation.

Explanation:

Since oxygen is the last electron acceptor in Electron transfer chain, the H ions flow through ATP synthase for ATP synthesis. The electrons from the NADH and FADH are pumped from the matrix of mitochondria to inter-membrane space. The energy released due to the proton gradient formed is used for making ATP.

The process of transducing air pressure waves into neural messages that the brain interprets as meaningful sound is known as
Nikolay [14]
Hearing.

The process of hearing starts by pressure waves that are captured by our ears and taken inside the ear by the ear canal reaching firstly the ear drum. The ear drum then vibrates according to the pressure waves that were captured making the acicular (a set of 3 little bones) enter in motion. This vibrations then move from the acicular to the inner ear. Within the inner ear we can find the cochlea which is where this mechanical waves are converted into electrical signals and then passed to the brain. The auditory cortex of the brain then interprets this signals as sounds and gives them meaning.
