What organelles are found in an animal cell
viva [34]

They both contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. Both also contain similar membranes, cytosol, and cytoskeletal elements.

Hardy Weinberg Practice Problems To demonstrate your understanding of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, answer each question caref
andriy [413]

Assuming that the affection is a recessive trait caused by a single diallelic gene, the percentage of the population that possess the heter0zyg0us advantage is 32%.

<h3>Available data</h3>

  • 1000 of African people population
  • 4% of the population is born with sickle cell anemia

100% of the population -------------------- 1000 individuals

4% of the population with anemia------- X = (4 x 1000) / 100 = 40

0.04 is the frequency of individuals with sickle cell anemia.

Assuming that the affection is a recessive trait caused by a single diallelic gene, we can get the allelic frequency as follows.

  • The genotypic frequency is q² =  0.04
  • The allelic frequency is q = √0.04 = 0.2

Having the recessive allelic frequency, we can get the dominant allelic frequency, by clearing the following equation,

p + q = 1

p = 1 - q

p = 1 - 0.2

p = 0.8

So, the allelic frequencies are

p = 0.8

q = 0.2

To get the heter0zyg0us frequency, we just need to replace the values

2pq = 2 x p x q = 2 x 0.2 x 0.8 = 0.32

The frequency of the heter0zyg0us genotype is 0.32 = 32%.

32% of the population possess the heterozygous advantage.

"Brown eyes are dominant over blue eyes. If two brown eyed parents have a child with blue eyes, what does it mean about the pare
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Because brown (B) is dominant over blue (b). Two parents who are Bb and so have brown eyes each have a 50% chance of passing a b to their child. ... By the old genetic rules, two blue-eyed parents would both be bb and so could only pass b to their kids.
