It was found that the C4 protein promotes synaptic pruning during brain development in the teenage years. This is a normal proce

ss in brain development that is important for removing unnecessary connections between neurons and establishing a mature brain structure. However, high expression levels of a certain allele of C4 can lead to too much pruning, which may promote the onset of schizophrenia. The variation observed at the C4 gene which leads to the greatest increase in risk was found to cause a 25% increase in the risk of developing schizophrenia. The baseline risk in the population is 1%. What is the risk of an individual with this variant developing the condition?a. 0.25%.
b. 1.25%.
c. 25%.
d. 26%.

Answer:

b. 1.25%

Explanation:

Variations observed in C gene has increase in risk of 25% to develop schizophrenia. It is a kind of an abnormality in which a person interprets reality unrepresentative. The baseline risk in population is 1% then there is 1.25% risk associated with an individual to develop this condition.

lana [24]

Answer:

Yellow smooth  - 9

Yellow wrinkle - 3

Green smooth- 3

Green Wrinkle - 1

Explanation:

Let the green color of the seed be depicted by "G" and the yellow color of the seed be depicted by "g"

Let the smooth the seed be depicted by "R" and wrinkled seed be depicted by "r"

F1 cross -  

true breeding smooth green plant ( RRGG) and true breeding wrinkled yellow (rrgg)

F1 gamete will be RG, RG, rg, rg

F1 offspring will be RrGg , Thus all F1 offspring will be heterozygous smooth and yellow.  

Thus,  R is dominant over r and g is dominant over G

F2 Generation –  

RrGg x RrGg

Gametes will be RG, Rg, rG, rg

RG         Rg          rG           rg

RG RRGG RRGg RrGG RrGg

Rg RRGg RRgg RrGg Rrgg

rG RrGG RrGg rrGG rrGg

rg RrGg Rrgg rrGg rrgg

R is dominant over r and g is dominant over G

Genotypes are –  

RRGG - 1  (Smooth Green)

RRGg-2  (Smooth yellow)

RrGG-2  (Smooth Green)

RrGg-4  (Smooth yellow)

RRgg- 1  (smooth yellow)

Rrgg – 2  (Smooth yellow)

rrGG – 1  (wrinkled Green)

rrGg – 2  (Wrinkled yellow)

rrgg – 1  (wrinkled yellow)

Yellow smooth  - 9

Yellow wrinkle - 3

Green smooth- 3

Green Wrinkle - 1

1.Discuss how natural selection affects animal behavior and how behaviors can affect the survival of an animal species.
soldi70 [24.7K]
1. I think natural selections among the animals are base on their ways or their role in the food chain whether they are predator or a prey. Natural selection is the one you will judge if you are gonna leave or die but it doeasnt mean that here is no way of survival. I think there role in the chain mold them and taught them on how to survive in the wild.

2. The best example of it is when and infant started to grow, so an infant baby's center of sensation is their mouth, if they don't like the taste of it they throw it away until the developments are on the process, they begin to walk then to speak.

3.The behavior of an animal like for example the wolves, they use to be in pact to hunts prey so that they could sure the possible outcome in hunting base on that fact, if a wolf will hunt for its self in a group and fast running dears without a plan the possibility is that the wolf will never catch one
