Answer:

The correct answer is - 1/41,493

Explanation:

Let assume the frequency of the two possible same allele genotype (dominant and recessive) in an inbred population is p and q. Then the frequency of heterozygotes (H) is denoted as:

2pq + 2pqF.  ( where F is the inbreeding coefficient).

The frequency of the two different hoozygotes in inbred population can be calculated as:

p2 + pqF and q2 + pqF. (Where p and q are the allele frequency of the dominant and recessive phenotype.

Given: Frequency of Alkaptonuria (q 2) = 1:500, 000

=> q = 1/707

p = 706/707 ( Approx values)

solution:

Inbreeding coefficient (F) = 1/64

Therefore,

Frequency of Alkaptonuria in second cousins= q 2 + pqF

= 1/500, 000 + (706/707 x 1/707) x (1/64)

= 1/500, 000 + 1/45, 248

= 1/41,493 (approx)

Assume that you are a marine biologist. Choose a marine phyletic group and write a report on its diversity and the adaptations
Maslowich

Answer:

These organisms should be adapted to live in this enviroment, i.e., they need to have adaptations to breathe, to swim (fins), streamlined bodies to move through the water, to eat the food found in the region, etc. Moreover, in this environment, the diversity tends to be high because marine regions are often characterized by their richness.
