The color of the mustard plant in Lab 4 (Natural Selection) was determined by a single gene with two alleles (Y or y). The Y all

ele was dominant to y allele, and Y gave us a green plant, and yy a yellow-green plant. You measure the following genotype frequencies: YY = 0.5; Yy = 0.25; yy = 0.25. You calculate the following Hardy-Weinberg Frequencies: YY = 0.30; Yy = 0.56; yy = 0.14 This population looks like it has evolved. We can tell this because : Group of answer choices

Answer and Explanation:

It occurs evolution whenever the allelic frequencies in the genic pool change. If the population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, it is because one, some, or several of the model's assumptions are not met. If we want to know if a population is evolving, we must observe the frequencies of the population, and if they change over time. If there is a change, it might also be reflected in the phenotypic frequencies.

In the exposed example there was an evident change in the population genetic frequencies.

<em>1) Genotype frequencies</em>: YY = 0.5; Yy = 0.25; yy = 0.25

<em>Genic or Alleleic frequency</em>:

  • Frequency of y= f(q)= √0.25 =0.5
  • Frequency of Y= f(p)= 1- 0.5 =0.5

<em>2) Hardy-Weinberg Frequencies</em>: YY = 0.30; Yy = 0.56; yy = 0.14

<em>Genic or Alleleic frequency</em>:

Frequency of y= f(p)= √0.14 =0.374

Frequency of Y= f(p)= 1- 0.5 =0.626

The allelic frequencies and hence the genotypic frequencies changes, so we can assume that there was evolution.

According to the theory of endosymbiosis, the origin of chloroplasts probably involved: a. engulfing of small photosynthetic pro
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

A. engulfing of small photosynthetic prokaryotes by larger cell

Explanation:

The endosymbiotic theory states that some of the organelles in today's eukaryotic cells were once prokaryotic microbes. In this theory, the first eukaryotic cell was probably an amoeba-like cell that got nutrients by phagocytosis and contained a nucleus that formed when a piece of the cytoplasmic membrane pinched off around the chromosomes. Some of these amoeba-like organisms ingested prokaryotic cells that then survived within the organism and developed a symbiotic relationship.

Some Evidence for this is based on the following:

1. Chloroplasts are the same size as prokaryotic cells, divide by binary fission, and, like bacteria, have Fts proteins at their division plane.

2. The mitochondria are the same size as prokaryotic cells, divide by binary fission, and the mitochondria of some protists have Fts homologs at their division plane.

3. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA that is circular, not linear.

4. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own ribosomes that have 30S and 50S subunits, not 40S and 60S.

5. Several more primitive eukaryotic microbes, such as Giardia and Trichomonas have a nuclear membrane but no mitochondria.

How does energy affect matter?<br> How is energy different from matter?
Sholpan [36]
The difference between matter and energy is that energy is produced from matter yet has no mass and is the capacity to do work while matter is the physical "stuff" in the universe. Matter needs energy to move.
