Answer:

0.0139- frequency of heterozygotes in the population

Explanation:

Let q to the power of 2 represents the frequency of the homozygous recessive (aa) = 1/20000 = 0.00005

This, q = √q^2 = √0.00005 = 0.007

Since p + q = 1

p = 1 - 0.007 = 0.993

Using the formula: p^2 + 2pq + q^2

Where 2pq represents the frequency of the heterozygotes, thing we have

2 x 0.007 x 0.993

= 0.0139

The inheritance of gene expression patterns, in the absence of the initiating signal, is called what
Veronika [31]

The inheritance of gene expression patterns, in the absence of the initiating signal, is called Epigenetic regulation.

Epigenetic changes can be defined as inherited variations which are not present in the DNA sequence. Gene expression is regulated at different levels and not merely in response to DNA modifications. Examples of epigenetic control include DNA methylation, histone deacetylation and mi-RNA expression.

Epigenetic mechanisms add an adaptive layer of control in the regulation of gene expression that allows an organism to adapt to a dynamic environment.

Epigenetic regulation increases the functional intricacy of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) by changing chromatin structure, nuclear organization as well as transcript stability.

Which of the following bacteria can grow in low oxygen environment: Salmonella Yersinia Listria monocytogenes Clostridium botuli
AlexFokin [52]

Answer: Clostridium botulinium

Explanation:

An anaerobic bacteria is an organism which does not require oxygen for it's survival. It may not survive or die in the presence of oxygen. These bacteria are used for the process of fermentation for the preparation of beverage and dairy products.

Clostridium botulinium is the example of the anaerobic bacteria. It is found in soil or marine environment in the form of spores. This bacteria is rod shaped. It forms the spores when the conditions for survival is poor. It causes a disease called as botulism.

22. Label the organisms in the food web below as producer (P), primary consumer (PC), secondary consumer (SC),
Paul [167]

In the above food web green algae is the producer, periwinkle and microscopic animals are primary consumers; mussel, barnacle, dogwhelk and crab are secondary consumers; dogwhelk and crab comes under tertiary consumer; dogfish is a quaternary consumer.

What is a food web?

It is a natural interconnection of several food chains in a single ecosystem. Each food chain supplies energy and nutrients through the ecosystem. There are four food webs producer, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores and decomposers.

Here green algae comes under autotrophs(prepares their own food), periwinkle and microscopic animals are herbivores(depend on producer); mussel, barnacle, dogwhelk and crab are carnivores(depend on herbivore); dogfish is an omnivore(depends on both producer and carnivore).
