Suppose that we study a gene that has been linked to coronary heart disease. We find in a pilot study that in subjects with the

C/ C genotype 20 events have occurred in 200 individuals over a period of 10 years, whereas in subjects with the T/ T genotype 30 events have occurred in 250 individuals in 10 years. Which genotype appears to be associated with a higher prevalence of heart disease?

Answer:

T/ T genotype

Explanation:

To know which genotype appears to be associated with a higher prevalence of heart disease, you must know which genotype appeared in the highest percentage in the population tested.

For this, we will do the following calculations.

  • C/C Genotype:

200 people = 100%

20 people = X

X = (20 * 100) / 200

X = 10%

This means that the C/C genotype appeared in 10% of the tested population.

Now we must to know the percentage of the T / T genotype, we must consider 200 of the 250 people tested.

  • T/T Genotype:

250 people = 100%

200 people = x

X = (200 * 100) / 250

X = 80%

----

200 people = 80%

30 people = X

X = (30 * 80) / 200

X = 12%

Thus, we can say that the T / T genotype appeared in a higher percentage within the tested population, being considered the genotype that seems to be associated with a higher prevalence of heart disease.

Do you think Peacocks would be in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium? Why or why not?
Slav-nsk [51]

Peacocks would not be in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

Explanation:

This can be justified by the mating patterns of the female peacocks. They do not choose their mates randomly but look out specifically for bright attractive plumage in their male partners and then select them.

Hardy-Weinberg's Equilibrium of evolution mechanism was based on facts like random mating, no natural selection,  mutation, absence of gene flow, and infinite population size.

They stated that organisms mate randomly with each other without any specific or a particular preference in the phenotypes of their opposite mates

Copying genetic information from dna into rna is called __________; using the information contained in mrna to make a polypeptid
Ket [755]
Genetic information from DNA to RNA is called transcription which involves the enzyme RNA polymerase. The DNA is read from 3' to 5' in direction and produces an mRNA (messenger RNA) which contains the genetic data from the DNA. This mRNA strand is further processed in the nucleus (capping and adding a poly-A tail) before being transported to the cytoplasm. 

The information contained in mRNA is used to make a polypeptide chain is called translation. This involves the use of ribosomes in the cytoplasm which attach themselves to the mRNA strand then using tRNA (transfer RNA) to add amino acids to the elongating polypeptide depending on the codon in the mRNA.
