In an electrophoretic study of enzyme variation in a species of pelican, you find 77 A1A1, 45 A1A2, and 18 A2A2 individuals at a

particular locus in a sample of 140. What are the allele frequencies for the A1 and A2 alleles? Calculate the genotype frequencies for this locus.

Answer:

Frequencies of allele A_{1} and A_{2}\\ are 0.74 and 0.26 respectively.

Frequencies of Individuals with genotype A_{1}A_{1}, [tex]A_{2}A_{2} and [tex]A_{1}A_{2} are [tex]0.55, 0.128, 0.32 respectively.

Explanation:

As per Hardy Weinberg's equation -

p^{2} +q^{2} +2pq= 1 ----------Equation (A)

p+q= 1-----------Equation (B)

Where "p" represents the frequency of "A_{1}

"q" represents the frequency of "A_{2}

p^{2} represents frequency of individual  A_{1}A_{1}

q^{2} represents frequency of individual A_{2}A_{2}

pq represents frequency of  individual A_{1}A_{2}

Here genotype frequencies are  -

A_{1}A_{1} = 77\\p^{2} = \frac{77}{140} \\= 0.55\\

A_{2}A_{2} = 18\\q^{2} = \frac{18}{140} \\= 0.128\\

Substituting this values in equation A, we get

0.55 + 0.128 + 2pq = 1\\2pq = 1-(0.128+ 0.55)pq = 0.321

Frequencies of allele A_{1} and A_{2}\\ are -

For A_{1}= \sqrt{p^{2} } \\= \sqrt{0.55} \\= 0.74

Substituting this value in equation B, we get

p+q=1\\0.74 + q = 1\\q = 1-0.74\\q = 0.26

Frequencies of allele A_{1} and A_{2}\\ are 0.74 and 0.26 respectively.

Frequencies of Individuals with genotype  A_{1}A_{1}, A_{2}A_{2}, A_{1}A_{2}are 0.55, 0.128, 0.32 respectively.

In response to a state of shock, what mechanisms does the sympathetic nervous system utilize in the four distinct stages to help

Answer:

<h2>What is a sympathetic nervous system?</h2>

The peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system are the two primary divisions of the human nervous system, as shown in the image below.

Two additional parts make up the peripheral nervous system. Skeletal muscle movement that is voluntary is controlled by the somatic nervous system. The somatic nervous system is at action when you choose to bring your coffee cup to your lips; it is doing so by engaging the necessary muscles. The autonomic nervous system, which regulates functions outside of our conscious awareness, is the second part of the PNS.

The parasympathetic nervous system and the sympathetic nervous system are additional divisions of the autonomic nervous system (which you are interested in). They have negative consequences on one another, to put it very broadly. While the parasympathetic neural system largely works to calm the body, the sympathetic nervous system often stimulates the body. Although this is a streamlined perspective, it might be helpful to think about it this way.

The sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system speeds up heartbeat, slows down digestion, opens up airways in the lungs to allow for greater airflow, triggers the liver to release glucose, and relaxes the bladder. All of this wakes up the body and gets it ready to "fight."

The parasympathetic division, in contrast, slows the heart rate, tightens the bronchi in the lungs, and boosts blood flow to the digestive system. The phrase "relax and digest" has been used to describe it.

The parasympathetic nervous system's nerves originate from the brainstem and spinal cord, as shown in the diagram. The "ganglia" (collections of cell bodies) of the sympathetic nervous system, however, exist beyond the spinal cord.

It's interesting to note that whereas the sympathetic nervous system activates the body using both acetylcholine (ACh) and norepinephrine (NE), the parasympathetic nervous system solely needs ACh to affect organs.

The sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve systems are autonomic, which means we typically have minimal control over them.

Bacteria with the ability to break down certain types of plastic are placed with a colony of E. coli bacteria that lack this abi
lana66690 [7]

The answer is; C

Plasmids are conferred through horizontal gene transfer in bacteria.  The ‘male’ bacteria develops a structure called pili that then attaches to the ‘female’ bacteria. It then transfers it’s replicated plasmid to the ‘female’ bacteria in a process called conjugation. This bacteria will hence have desirable traits that are coded for by the transferred genetic material ,such as antibiotic resistance, after a process called recombination.
