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.

The plasma membrane represents an energetic barrier to the free diffusion of ions from the extracellular space into the cytoplas
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Why are molecules such as valinomycin effective at transporting ions across the membrane?

Valinomycin is effective as transporting ions across the membrane because it is no charged, so it can carry ions.

Why would a drop in temperature to or below the transition temperature limit valinomycin mediated K+ transport across the plasma membrane?

Valinomycin is limited by temperature because its activity is highly sensitive and it depends on a stable and an average temperature.

Explanation:

Valinomycin is effective at transporting ion across the membrane because is an antibiotic that alternates hydroxy and amino acid, ans it helps membranes to be permeable. Valinomycin is a cyclic molecule that helps in ions transportation through membranes. Also, antibiotics have a temperature range of activity, that's why it is sensitive to changes.

Staphylococcus aureus is the organism which will most likely be the cause of this infection.

<h3>What is an Infection?</h3>

This is defined as the process in which germs invade the body system and the outcome is usually negative.

Staphylococcus aureus  is a halophilic bacteria which can grow under salty conditions which is why the mannitol is broken down to acid to form a yellow growth.

You cross two true-breeding parents (one with yellow seeds and one with green seeds), grow and self-pollinate the F1 generation,
Andru [333]

Answer:

1500

Explanation:

Let's assume that the allele for yellow seed color is "Y" and the allele for green seed color is "y". Genotype of pure breeding yellow seeded plant would be "YY" and that of the green seeded plant would be "yy". A cross between YY and yy gives all heterozygous yellow seeded plants (Yy) in F1 progeny. Self pollination of two F1 plants (Yy x Yy) obtains F2 generation in 3 yellow: 1 green ratio.

The total population size of F2 generation = 2000

The proportion of yellow seeded plants in F2 generation = 3/4 (since the F2 phenotype ratio is given 3 yellow: 1 green)

Therefore, total number of yellow seeded plants in F2 progeny = 3/4 x 2000= 1500
