Answer:

Brain and spinal cord

Explanation:

Meningitis is the inflammation of the protective covering of the meninges, the three membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. Meningitis usually occurs from a viral infection, but may sometimes result from a bacterial or fungal infection, cancer or drug allergies.

Viral and bacterial meningitis may be contagious and can be transmitted through coughing and sneezing.

Symptoms of meningitis include:

headaches

fever

sensitivity to bright light

stiff neck

seizures

sleepiness

lethargy

nausea and vomiting

decreased appetite

Treatment is by vaccination, use of antibiotics and antifungal agents.

The Psalmist expresses his awe and thanksgiving to God for his affection by continually singing Him songs of praise.

The simplest way to thank God is to see Him everywhere and appreciate His presence in our life. It's important for us to remember that we are living because of Him.

The Psalms contain powerful quotes for giving thanks and finding blessings. Psalms 1 - 150 showed how the Psalmist was thanking God by singing praises to Him. The unifying theme of Psalms is praise for God.

A) In the Dunker population, the frequency of IB allele is 0.3 and the frequency of i allele is 0.4. In the general population, the frequency of IB allele is 0.1 and t<span>he frequency of i allele is 0.5.
</span>
If:
$I^{A}$ - <span>the frequency of IA allele
</span> $I^{B}$ - <span>the frequency of IB allele
</span> $i$ - t<span>he frequency of i allele

Then:
</span> $I^{A} I^{A}$ + <span> $I^{A} i$ - the frequency of individuals with A blood type
</span> $I^{B} I^{B}$ + <span> $I^{B} i$ - the frequency of individuals with B blood type
</span> $ii$ <span>- the frequency of individuals with O blood type
</span>
Let's first take a look on the Dunker population:
$I^{A} = 0.3$
$ii=0.16
$

<span>Since there is only one possible genotype for O individuals - ii - the frequency of the allele i is square root of the frequency of O individuals:
</span> $i= \sqrt{ii}$
⇒ $i = \sqrt{0.16}$
⇒ $i=0.4$

Now, we have the frequencies of two alleles ( $I^{A}$ and $i$ ). To calculate the frequency of $I^{B}$ <span> allele, we will use the formula:
</span> $I^{A} + I^{B} + i = 1$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1- I^{A} - i$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1-0.3-0.4$
⇒ $I^{B} = 0.3$

Now, in the general population:
$I^{A} = 0.4$
$ii=0.25$

<span>Similarly to the work for the Dunker population:
</span> $i= \sqrt{ii}$
⇒ $i = \sqrt{0.25}$
⇒ $i=0.5$

$I^{A} + I^{B} + i = 1$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1- I^{A} - i$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1-0.4-0.5$
<span>⇒ $I^{B} = 0.1$
</span>

b) A founder effect is a result of geographical separation of a few individuals from the original population. Those founding individuals will form a new population. The Dunker population was not only geographically separated, but also genetically. The group interbreeding was present resulting in increasing those allele frequencies that were the most common in the founding population. In this case, the most individuals from the founding population had B blood type.
