At the end of the term, the professor locks the students in the classroom with plenty of food and water and leaves them there fo

r 200 years, during which time they undergo 10 rounds of random mating with no selection, mutation or genetic drift. 31a. What is the frequency of the Aallele in the population at the end of the 200 years? b. What is the frequency of the aallele at the end of the 200 years? c. Is the population at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium at the end of the 200 years? d. At the end of the 200 years, the professorʼs granddaughter examines the genotype of the 1000 people drawn at random from the population. How many sleepyheads should she find, on average (your answer should be a number between 0 and 1000)?

Answer:

a. 0.7

b. 0.3

c. Yes

d. 90

Explanation:

As the random mating population was escaped from external evolutionary forces such as mutation, natural selection, and migration, the gene frequency will not change over time. The population will be at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium throughout the time.

<u>As the number of sleepyheads (recessive trait) was 90 out of class of 1000 students at the start of course.</u>

<u />

q²=0.09 ∵ fraction of sleepyheads = 90/1000 = 0.09 denoted by q²

q that is the recessive gene frequency will be equal to 0.3 (by taking square root of P²

Hence, <em>allele frequency of a allele is 0.3</em>

<em></em>

As, frequency of dominant allele A is denoted by letter p and p+q=1

∴ p=0.7 As p=1-0.3

Hence,<em> allele frequency of A allele is 0.7</em>

<em></em>

Counting the probability of aa alleles (sleepyheads);

As a= 0.3

∴ aa= 0.3×0.3 = 0.09 (In terms of percentage, it is 9%)

To 0.09×1000= 90 or 9% of 1000 = 90

Hence, 90 students should be sleepyheads.

For this assignment, you will write an essay describing the production of protein molecules through transcription and translatio
Trava [24]

<span>.        Messenger RNA (mRNA) is synthesized from a gene segment of DNA which ultimately contains the information on the primary sequence of amino acids in a protein to be synthesized. The genetic code as translated is for m-RNA not DNA. The messenger RNA carries the code into the cytoplasm where protein synthesis occurs. The cell does not contain large quantities of mRNA. This is because mRNA, unlike other RNAs is constantly undergoing breakdown. 

2.       In the cytoplasm, ribsomal RNA (rRNA) and protein combine to form a nucleoprotein called a ribosome. The ribosome serves as the site and carries the enzymes necessary for protein synthesis. The ribosome attaches itself to m-RNA and provides the stabilizing structure to hold all substances in position as the protein is synthesized. Several ribosomes may be attached to a single RNA at any time.   </span>
<span>
3.       Transfer RNA (tRNA) contains about 75 nucleotides, three of which are called anticodons, and one amino acid. The tRNA reads the code and carries the amino acid to be incorporated into the developing protein. Part of the tRNA doubles back upon itself to form several double helical sections. The tRNA "reads" the mRNA codon by using its own anticodon. The actual "reading" is done by matching the base pairs through hydrogen bonding following the base pairing principle. Each codon is "read" by various tRNA's until the appropriate match of the anticodon with the codon occurs.</span>
