A recessive allele causes phenylketonuria (PKU) when homozygote. If the frequency of the recessive allele is 0.05 in the populat

ion, what is the heterozygote frequency in the population? (Assume that people mate randomly with respect to PKU, and that the mutant allele does not have any effects on fitness.)

Answer:

0.095

Explanation:

Phenylkentonuria is a disease caused by a recessive allele.

The frequency of the recessive allele + the frequency of the dominant allele equals 1.

The frequency of the recessive allele is q = 0.05

The frequency of the dominant allele then is p = 1  - q = 0.95

If people mate randomly, the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype will be p², the frequency of the heterozygous genotype will be 2pq and the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype will be q² .

2pq=2× 0.05 × 0.95

2pq=0.095

The heterozygote frequency in the population is 0.095

Airida [17]

Answer:

The answer is given below.

Explanation:

Rescorla explain this finding by stating that the tone experienced by the group of rats just before each of 20 shocks was a reliable predictor of the shock for the first group.

The psychologist Robert Rescorla stated in his famous classical conditioning experiment that  2 stimuli does not produce the same level and kind of conditioning.  Conditioning works in a better way, if the conditioned stimulus will act as a reliable signal that projects the appearance of an unconditioned stimulus.

Why is it necessary for the pancreas to secrete a high ph (basic) solution into the small intestine?
storchak [24]
It is necessary for the pancreas to secrete a high pH solution into the intestine in order to neutralize the acidity of the processed food particles [chyme] that are passed into the intestine and to provide a suitable pH for the enzymes in the intestines that will act on the processed food particles.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

Presence of papillary muscles

Explanation:

  • Papillary muscles are structural components of the ventricles.
  • They are attached to the cusps of the mitral and tricuspid valves through connective tissue strings known as the cordinae tendeneae (heart strings).
  • These muscles prevent the prolaspse of these valves during ventricular systole.
  • Although they differ in number i.e. two in left and three in right ventricle, papillary muscles are present in both ventricles.

A spinal-epidural, also called a(n) __________ epidural, is a system of administering continuous doses of anesthetic to a woman
Rudik [331]

The epidural anesthesia is a method of pain relief, which is used during the labor pain. It is a well known regional anesthesia. It works by acting as an analgesic, which means a substance that eases the pain, a complete anesthesia or loss of feeling does not occur in the case of epidural anesthesia. It blocks the nerve signals from the lower spinal segments. It is also known as spinal epidural anesthesia or lumbar epidural anesthesia.  

Hence, the black can be filled with lumbar.
