In the year 2500, five male space colonists and five female space colonists from Earth settle on an uninhabited Earth like plane
t in the Andromeda galaxy. The colonists and their off-spring randomly mate for generations. All ten of the original colonists had free earlobes, and two are heterozygous for that trait. The allele for freeear lobes is dominant to the allele for attached ear lobes. Required:
What is the allele frequency in the founding population?
The initial population of the colonist had free earlobes which are represented by A here as it is dominant and attached is represent by a. purebred dominant would have AA.
Frequency of allele A =
8 pure dominant and 2 heterozygous dominant presents in the population
every cell has work to do but different cells may have different jobs in multicellular organisms, cell with the same type of job often work together. These group of specialized cell from tissue in turn, tissue often group together to form larger units called organs the heart is an organ; so is the stomach.
