Answer:

Atherosclerosis affects arteries, these blood vessels are elastic and flexible in order to allow good blood circulation

Explanation:

The blood vessels are classified into three types: arteries, veins, and capillaries. An artery is a muscular blood vessel that is able to carry blood away from the heart to different parts of the body. Healthy arteries need to be elastic and flexible in order to adjust their diameter and thus control blood flow by maintaining blood pressure. Arteriosclerosis is a chronic disease caused by the accumulation of fatty substances (especially cholesterol) in the artery walls, thereby difficulting blood circulation by thickening and hardening these walls.

Human albinism is an autosomal recessive trait. Suppose that you find a village in the Andes where 1/4 of the population is albi
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

500

Explanation:

According to the given information, the total number of albino people in the population= 1000/4 = 250.

Since albinism is an autosomal recessive trait, the genotype of albino people would be homozygous recessive. Therefore, the frequency of homozygous recessive genotype in the population (q2) = 250/1000= 0.25.

The frequency of recessive allele (q) = square root of 0.25 = 0.5

Since p+q=1. So, p (frequency of dominant allele) = 1-q = 1-0.5 = 0.5

Frequency of heterozygotes in the population= 2pq = 2 x 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.5 or 50%

Therefore, expected number of heterozygotes in the given population= 50% of 1000 = 500

What do the variables in the Hardy-Weinberg equation represent? p p2 q q2 2pq frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype arr
kompoz [17]

Explanation:

In Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium...

p^{2} + 2pq +q^{2} = 1

p represents the dominant allele frequency

q represents the frequency of the recessive allele

q^2 = the genotypic frequency of the homozygous recessive

p^2= the genotypic frequency of the homozygous dominant

2pq= the frequency of the heterozygous genotype

Further Explanation:

Sequences of DNA make up genes which can have different forms called alleles. DNA, which makes up the genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are linked together by rRNA to form proteins which make up the phenotype of an organism. Mutations in DNA sequences form new alleles, and affect the corresponding mRNA and thus the protein encoded. Along with genetic drift, selective mating and natural selection, evolution may occur within populations.

Some alleles become fixed within a population over time. In Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for a specific gene that is not undergoing evolution- allelic frequencies are stable over several generations. During this period, mutations do not occur within the population.
