Some offsprings look like their parents because we all have different genes. Different combinations of genes for one of these traits create a bunch of different physical attributes. Even though we get all our DNA from our parents, each of us has a unique combination of genes.

On the mRNA sequence below, show what would happen to the amino acid sequence if an extra RNA nucleotide was added (you can add

Anna [14]

That is called an insertion mutation which is a type of a frameshift mutation

depending on where you put the extra nucleotide, the amino acid sequence may look different.

Considering the same population of cats as in Part A, what is the expected frequency of each genotype (TLTL, TLTS, TSTS ) based

zaharov [31]

Answer:

P = f(TLTL) = 0,16

H = f(TLTS) = 0,48

Q = f(TSTS) = 0,36

Explanation:

Hello!

The allele proportion of any locus defines the genetic constitution of a population. Its sum is 1 and its values can vary between 0 (absent allele) and 1 (fixed allele).

The calculation of allelic frequencies of a population is made taking into account that homozygotes have two identical alleles and heterozygotes have two different alleles.

In this case, let's say:

f(TL) = p

f(TS) = q

p + q = 1

Considering the genotypes TLTL, TLTS, TSTS, and the allele frequencies:

TL= 0,4

TS= 0,6

Genotypic frequency is the relative proportion of genotypes in a population for the locus in question, that is, the number of times the genotype appears in a population.

P = f(TLTL)

H = f(TLTS)

Q = f(TSTS)

Also P + H + Q = 1

And using the equation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the genotypic frequencies of equilibrium are given by the development of the binomial:

$p^{2} = f(TLTL)$

$2pq = f(TSTL)$

$q^{2} = f(TSTS)$

So, if the population is in balance:

$P = p^{2}$

$H = 2pq$

$Q = q^{2}$

Replacing the given values of allele frecuencies in each equiation you can calculate the expected frequency of each genotype for the next generation as:

$f(TLTL) = P = p^{2} = 0,4^{2} = 0,16$
