Answer: If this population were in equilibrium and if the sickle-cell allele is recessive, the proportion of the population susceptible to sickle-cell anemia under typical conditions should be 0.20
Explanation: Hardy-Weinberg law provides an equation to relate genotype frequencies and allele frequencies in a randomly mating population. The equation is;
p² + 2pq + q² = 1
For 2 alleles such as A and a, where
p² = homozygous dominant
q² = homozygous recessive and
2pq = heterozygous
From the question, it is said that the sickle-cell allele (SS) constitutes 20% (that is, 20/100) of the hemoglobin alleles in the human gene pool and it is also said to be the homozygous recessive allele.
Therefore, q² = 20/100 = 0.20
To produce an electric current, three things are needed: a supply of electric charges (electrons) which are free to flow, some form of push to move the charges through the circuit and a pathway to carry the charges. The pathway to carry the charges is usually a copper wire.
Answer:
e
Explanation:
The correct answer would be that they <u>are more numerous than primary consumers.</u>
Secondary consumers are never more numerous than primary consumers. <em>This is primarily due to the fact that the higher we move up the food chain, the less efficient the amount of energy derived from food. Up to 90% of energy is sometimes lost at each trophic level as we up. Due to this inefficiency, the available food at top consumer levels can only support a few organisms. Hence, the higher we move up the food chain, the lesser the number of organisms the available food can support.</em>
The correct option is e.
Answer:
- production of vaccine for disease prevention
- production of genetically modified crops
Explanation:
Recombinant DNA is a special type of DNA that has been infused with a foreign gene of particular interest.
With recombinant DNA technology, scientists can study different proteins and see how they can be used for therapy in the area of medicine. <em>The technology has been used to produce several vaccine in the prevention of diseases.</em>
In addition, recombinant DNA technology has been useful in agriculture to produce <em>genetically modified crops with desired traits such as resistance to pests/diseases and high yields.</em>
both alleles in the heterozygous
genotype are exhibit in the phenotypes. Allele
is completely dominant over the other, and it is the phenotype is a blend of the two
homozygous phenotypes, there are more than two forms of the same gene, and
there maybe one more superior form and several different phenotypes
