A population has 1000 individuals. A PCR analysis of the genotypes of a gene associated with Lactase persistence are: LL = 450 L

l = 250 ll = 300. What are the allelic frequencies of the L and l alleles?

3 0

Answer:

L allele: 0.575 (or 57.5%)

l allele: 0.425 (or 42.5 %)

Explanation:

Homo-zygous individuals have two copies of the same allele (i.e., either L alelle or l allele), while heterozygous individuals carry both alleles at a time (i.e., one L allele and one l allele). In consequence:

- Frequency of the L allele: [(450 x 2) + 250] / 2000 = 0.575

- Frequency of the l allele: [(300 x 2) + 250] / 2000 = 0.425

The Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment<span> was an experimental demonstration, reported in 1944 by </span>Oswald Avery<span>, </span>Colin MacLeod<span>, and </span>Maclyn McCarty<span>, that </span>DNA<span> is the substance that causes </span>bacterial transformation<span>, in an era when it had been widely believed that it was </span>proteins<span> that served the function of carrying genetic information (with the very word </span>protein<span> itself coined to indicate a belief that its function was </span>primary<span>).

It was the culmination of research in the 1930s and early 20th Century at the </span>Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research<span> to purify and characterize the "transforming principle" responsible for the transformation phenomenon first described in </span>Griffith's experiment<span> of 1928: killed </span>Streptococcus pneumoniae<span> of the </span>virulent<span> strain type III-S, when injected along with living but non-virulent type II-R pneumococci, resulted in a deadly infection of type III-S pneumococci.

NeX [460]
The answer is A. <span>effective length of the tube
In wind instrument, the effective length is not the actual length of the instrument but only the length that the finger holes manage to cover.
The more holes it managed to cover, the higher frequency of vibration it might able to produce, which lead to higher pitch of the instrument.</span>
