1. If the DNA is carrying a silent mutation, what will be the impact it will have on the organism?

1 answer:

3 0

The DNA carrying a silent mutation will have no gene expression or result on the phenotype or physical appearance of the organism. Silent mutations code for the same amino acid resulting in more genetic diversity, having a genotypic advantage, but providing no noticeable differences.

irina [24]

Answer:

Frequency of p $= 0.684$

Frequency of p $= 0.316$

Number of individuals with homozygous dominant (AA) $= 47$

Number of individuals with heterozygous (Aa) $= 43$

Number of individuals with homozygous recessive (aa) $= 10$

Explanation:

Out of 100 people, 10 have albino skin (aa)

So, the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals $(q^{2})$ is $\frac{10}{100} = 0.1$

Now, q will be

$= \sqrt{q^{2} } = \sqrt{0.1} \\= 0.316$

As per Hardy Weinberg's equation -

$p + q = 1$

Substituting the value of q in above equation, we get -

$p + 0.316 = 1p = 1 -0.316\\p = 0.684$

Now the frequency of homozygous dominant (AA) will be

$p^{2} = 0.684^{2} \\= 0.467$

Hence, out of 100 people $0.467 * 100 = 46.7 or 47$ people are homozygous dominant (AA)

Like wise out of 100 people $0.1 * 100 = 10$ people are homozygous recessive (aa)

As per As per Hardy Weinberg's equation-

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

Substituting the values in above equation, we get -

$0.467 + 0.316 + 2pq = 1\\2pq = 1 -( 0.467+ 0.1)\\2pq = 0.433$

So, out of 100 people $0.433 * 100 = 43.3 or 43$ people are heterozygous (Aa)
