1. Walking through the forest, you find a large population of toadstools. From your extensive knowledge of the kingdom fungi, yo

u know that the allele for being spotted (S) is dominant over the allele for being plain (s). In this population of 1007, you find 14 toadstools that are not spotted. What are the allele frequencies? In a different forest, you find a somewhat smaller population of 549. Through genetic testing, you determine that there are 308 homozygous spotted, 206 heterozygous, and 34 homozygous plain toadstools. Is this what you expected? If not, what are the allele frequencies of this population?

Answer:

No, observed and expected frequencies are different.

Observed frequencies: p2 = 0.56 , 2pq = 0.375, q2 = 0.062

Expected frequencies: p2 = 0.774 , 2pq = 0.211, q2 = 0.014

Explanation:

Given frequency of recessive genotype (q2)= 14/ 1006 = 0.0139

Frequency of recessive allele s (q) = square root of 0.0139 = 0.12

Frequency of dominant allele S (p) = 1-q = 1-0.12 = 0.88

Expected frequency of homozygous recessive genotype = 0.12 x 0.12 = 0.014

Expected frequency of homozygous dominant genotype = 0.88 x 0.88 = 0.774

Expected frequency of heterozygous dominant genotype = 2pq = 2 x 0.88 x 0.12 = 0.211

Observed frequencies in population 2

Observed frequency of homozygous dominant genotype = 308 / 549 =0.56

Observed frequency of heterozygous dominant genotype = 206 / 549 =0.375

Observed frequency of homozygous recessive genotype = 34 / 549 =0.062

Observed frequencies do not match with expected frequencies.

Answer:

Pancreas secrets two hormones called insulin and glucagon which helps in maintaining the glucose level in the blood.

Explanation:

Pancreas secrets a hormone called as insulin, which helps the cell in absorbing the glucose by reducing the blood sugar and providing glucose for energy. On falling of the sugar level pancreas releases a hormone called glucagon. This glucagon informs the pancreas about the presence of low sugar in blood, after which it releases the stored glucose, and helps in raising the blood sugar level. Alpha cell of pancreas produces glucagon.
