Suppose a population is carrying a condition controlled by two alleles: A (dominant) and a (recessive). Only homozygous individu

als that have two copies of the recessive allele have the condition. If the a allele has a frequency of 20%, and the A allele had a frequency of 80%, what percentage of the population will have the condition?
A. 20%
B. 4%
C. 80%
D. 64%

Let a be Q, all which is homozygous recessive = Q∧2

A = p, AA which is homozygous recessive = Q∧2


2pq = heterozygous

It is derived from p+ q = 1

All those in a population which is Q = 20%


All A in the population (p) = 80%

Now that the disease is homozygous recessive therefore,

aa = qq or q × q = 0.20 × 2 = 4%

Then the answer is 4%.

  1. Answer: The correct answer is -  B. 4%  Explanation:  As per the given information in the question, the genetic condition is homozygous recessive (aa).   The frequency of dominant (A) and recessive allele (a) are given, which are 20% (that is 0.20) and 80% (0.80) respectively.  According to Hardy-Weinberg Principle - p+q=1 ,  p{2} +2pq+q^{2} =1 Where, p and q denotes frequency of dominant and recessive alleles respectively.   p2 = frequency of homozygous dominant genotype (AA)   q2= frequency of homozygous recessive gentotype (aa)   2pq= frequency of heterozygous genotypes (Aa).   We have given value of - p= 0.80 and q= 0.20   To calculate the frequency of homozygous recessive condition (aa) that is represented by q2- q2 = 0.20 × 0.20 = 0.0400  In percentage -  [0.0400/10000] ×100 = 4% Thus, option B) is the right answer.

Which organisms are secondary consumers in a temperate coniferous forest?
Leya [2.2K]

Complete question:

Which organisms are secondary consumers in a temperate coniferous forest? Select all that apply:

  • moose
  • lynx
  • wolf
  • elk

Answer:

The lynx and the wolf are the only secondary consumers on the list.

Explanation:

In the trophic web, the energy transference occurs when each organism feeds on the preceding link and is eaten by the following link.

The first ones are the autotroph organism or producer, such as a vegetable, that can synthesize organic matter from inorganic matter.

The following links are the consumers: herbivores are primary consumers and feed on producers. <u>Carnivores are secondary consumers and feed on herbivores</u>, and so on. The last links are the decomposers, microorganisms that act on dead animals degrading organic matter.

According to the definition of secondary consumers, among the animals on the list, we can assume that the lynx and the wolf are the only secondary consumers. They are both carnivores and feed on herbivores.

On the other hand, the moose and the elk, are both first consumers.
