Each parent contributes one allele for this trait.
Answer:
e. All could limit protein mobility
Explanation:
Plasma membrane proteins perform a variety of functions: they act preferentially on transport mechanisms, organizing true tunnels that allow substances to pass into and out of the cell, function as membrane receptors, among other functions. These proteins vary greatly in their mobility, some are as mobile as lipids, while others are practically immobile. But FRAP has revealed that some proteins move in cell membranes much more slowly than in reconstituted liposomes. This limited mobility can be explained by the statement in alternative "E" of the above question.
Answer:
1. How did the tidal wave affect the predicted frequencies of the alleles in the population?
No changes
2. What is the frequency of the recessive allele?
q= 0.6
Explanation:
If we assume that all individuals were equally likely to be wiped out, that means the frequency/ratio of the gene and genotype of the population will not change. The tidal wave killing 100 out of 200, so it simply makes the population become half of it used to be.
If the population at equilibrium, we can use the Hardy-Weinberg formula to find out the expected frequency of the dominant and recessive alleles. There are 36 homozygous recessives out of 100, so the frequency of the recessive allele will be:
q^2 = 36/100
q= √36/100= 6/10= 0.6
