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 answer is pili. the specific type of pili that can exchange genetic information is conjugative pili. when bacteria exchange geetc information, this process is called bacterial conjugation. conjugative pili can also be named as sex pili because they also allow exchange of genes

Earl Sutherland won the Nobel prize for discovering how epinephrine stimulates the breakdown of glycogen, a molecule that belong
Levart [38]

Answer:

There was no receptor for epinephrine to associate with and invigorate the sign transduction course that prompts the actuation of the compound  

By and large, Earl Sutherland helped in translating and discovering the breakdown of the glycogen into glucose-1-phosphate in nearness of glycogen phosphorylase and this sign course pathway is activated by the epinephrine. The epinephrine doesn't have the correct receptor to discover and start the sign transduction process and thus glucose-1-phoshate isn't shaped. It requires CAMP which is again a second delivery person for starting the entire of the transduction procedure.
