Black coat color in horses is conferred by the presence of a dominant B allele. Chestnut horses are genotype bb. A population of

wild horses consists of 226 black horses and 28 chestnut horses. Assume that this population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for this locus. Please round all answers correctly to 4 decimal digits. What is the frequency of the B allele? Answer:

Answer:

Frequency of B allele is 0.6681

Explanation:

If p represents the frequency of dominant allele and q represents the frequency of  recessive allele, according to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium:

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where p² = frequency of homozygous dominant genotype

q² = frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

2pq = frequency of heterozygous genotype

Given that number of recessive chestnut horse = 28

Total horses = 226 + 28 = 254

frequency of b² genotype = 28/254 = 0.1102

frequency of recessive b allele = √0.1102 = 0.3319

So, frequency of B allele =

1 - 0.3319 = 0.6681

Hence frequency of B allele is 0.6681

Bad White [126]

The cerebrum (brain) can be divided into two hemispheres: the left hemispheres and the right hemisphere. These hemispheres are separated by a deep longitudinal fissure (i.e., the cerebral fissure).

  • In this case, the patient will be able to identify the cat using his RIGHT-HAND.

  • The left brain hemisphere receives sensory information from and controls movements on the right part of the body, and vice-versa.

  • In consequence, the left brain hemisphere controls the movements of the right hand, whereas the right brain hemisphere controls the left hand.

Explain how the use of cell technology makes disease eradication possible.
Kaylis [27]

The post-eradication era is a period of history for which there has been no precedent whatsoever in terms of a zero base of immunity. Cessation of immunization will eventually create a population susceptible to widespread infection in the event of accidental or intentional reintroduction or re-emergence of the eradicated virus. Thus, even after immunization ceases, vaccine production must continue.

However, many currently available vaccines may not be appropriate for continued post-eradication vaccine production or reinstatement. Vaccines must be continually improved and ongoing vaccination research maintained. Other potentially useful antiviral strategies—antivirals, prophylaxis, and probiotics—must also be considered as means to strengthen the immune system and serve as adjuvant or prophylactic therapies.

In the case of polio, for example, it remains to be determined which vaccine (oral polio vaccine [OPV] or inactivated polio vaccine [IPV]), or variant thereof, should be produced in the post-eradication, post-vaccination era. A detailed plan for vaccine production will require more information on OPV-derived viral persistence and transmission, as well as continuing dialogue between public health and research communities in order to ensure that appropriate vaccination research continues.
