In humans, Rh-positive individuals have the Rh antigen on their red blood cells, while Rh-negative individuals do not. If the Rh

-positive phenotype is produced by a dominant gene (A), and the Rh-negative phenotype is due to its recessive allele (a), what is the frequency of the Rh-positive allele if 84% of a population is Rh-positive?A. 0.04.B. 0.16.C. 0.48.D. 0.60.E. 0.84.

Answer:

D. 0.60

Explanation:

If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the genotypic frequencies are:

  • freq AA = p²
  • freq Aa = 2pq
  • freq aa = q²

<em>p</em> is the frequency of the Rh positive allele (A) and <em>q</em> is the frequency of the Rh-negative allele (a).

If 84% of the population is Rh-positive, then 16% is Rh-negative and has the genotype <em>aa</em>. Therefore:

q² = 0.16

q = √0.16

q=0.4

And because p+q=1,

p = 1 - 0.4

p = 0.6

The frequency of the Rh-positive allele is 0.6

A new mutation arises in one person on the island of Kiribati (human population size 100,000). Assuming this particular mutation
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

0.999999 ≈ 1

Explanation:

In a population ( N ) there is the presence of 2N alleles in the population also chance of fixation can be expressed as ; 1/ 2N

Therefore the probability that the mutation will be lost due to genetic drift

= 2N - 1 / 2N ---- ( 1 )

given that ; N = 100,000

back to equation 1

P ( losing mutation due to genetic drift ) = ((2*100,000) - 1 )) / ( 2* 100,000 )

= ( 200,000 - 1 ) / 200,000

= 0.999999 ≈ 1

What are the two ways that organisms on the bottom of deep sea food chains acquire energy? a. photosynthesis and chemosynthesis
aliina [53]

The correct answer is (B)  chemosynthesis and marine snow  are the two ways that organisms on the bottom of  deep sea food chains acquire energy.

What is the meaning of chemosynthesis and marine show?

Chemosynthesis is the utilization of energy supplied by inorganic chemical processes to make food in bacteria and other organisms. To generate a sugar, all chemosynthetic organisms require energy provided by chemical processes, although various species employ different methods.

Marine snow is a shower of biological particles that falls from the upper ocean to the deep sea.  Marine snow refers to biological material that descends from higher in the water column. Some flakes fall for several weeks before reaching the ocean floor.
