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

4. A small population of chimpanzees lives in a habitat that undergoes no changes for a long period.
guajiro [1.7K]

Genetic drift is the dramatic almost sped up process of natural selection due to the untouched habitat the species I lives in. Genetic drift is characterized by the changing in alleles, whether more or less, natural selection could care less as long as they're creating diverse populations.

What is mixed-acid fermentation? how is methyl red used to determine if a microbe has undergone mixed-acid fermentation?
Vika [28.1K]

Mixed Acid Fermentation is a biological process by which a six carbon sugar is converted into complex mixture of acids. It is an example of anaerobic fermentation reaction which is commonly seen in bacteria.

The fermentation produces lactate, acetate, succinate, formate, ethanol, H_{2} and CO_{2} and their formation depends upon the presence of certain key enzymes in the bacterium.

The Methyl Red test is used in detecting occurring of mixed acid fermentation pathway when glucose is provided to microbes by using ph indicator. If the fermentation pathway has taken place, the mixture of acids will make the solution very acidic and causes red color change. The Methyl Red test belongs to the group called as IMViC tests.
