A population of 100 tigers has 30 with horizontal stripes. Using pedigrees, you ascertain that horizontal striping is caused by

bixtya [17]

Assuming that this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, we can sayt that the probability that, given enough time, all tigers in the population will have horizontal stripes is 30% = 0.3.

--------------------------

Available data:

Population size, N = 100 tigers
Number of Tigers with horizontal stripes = 30
Horizontal stripes is caused by an autosomal recessive mutation.

We need to know the probability that all tigers in the population will have horizontal stripes, which is the recessive phenotype.

We assume that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, so there should be no evolution.

Since the population is in H-W equilibrium, the allelic, genotypic and phenotypic frequencies will remain the same generation after generation.

Now, we will calculate the allelic and genotypic frequencies of horizontal striped individuals in the population.

There are 100 individuals, and only 30 have horizontal stripes.

So, the phenotypic frequency, F(HS) is 30/100 = 0.3 = 30%

Since this is a recessive phenotype, this value equals the genotypic frequency, F(hh) = 30%

Finally, we can get the allelic frequency by taking the square root of this value.

F(hh) = q² = 0.3

f(h) = q = √0.3 = 0.55 = 55%

According to these calcs, the probability for the fixation of the recessive allele is 55%, and the probability that all individuals express the recessive horizontal stripes phenotype is 30%.

How are bacteria able to regulate their genes by two types of operons?

Aleks04 [339]

Operons are the functional units of transcription and genetic regulation. These are found in bacteria and their viruses where genes coding for functionally related proteins are grouped along the DNA.

The two types of operons are- inducible and repressible.

They regulate the genes as in negative inducible operons, a regulatory repressor protein is bound to the operator. It prevents the transcription of the genes on the operon. If positive inducer is present, it binds to the repressor and changes its conformation so it is unable to bind to the operator.

Which statement correctly describes the nuclear envelope of a eukaryotic cell? See Concept 6.3 (Page 102) View Available Hint(s)

netineya [11]

The correct answer is: The nuclear envelope is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum

The nuclear envelope or nuclear membrane is composed of two phospholipid bilayers (outer and inner) that surround the nucleus in the eukaryotic cell. The space between the outer and inner membranes is called the perinuclear space. The nuclear envelop has nuclear pores that are responsible for the transport between nucleus and cytoplasm (e.g. transport of mRNA).
