A population of 100 tigers has 30 with horizontal stripes. Using pedigrees, you ascertain that horizontal striping is caused by

an autosomal recessive mutation. What is the probability that, given enough time, all tigers in the population will have horizontal stripes

Assuming that this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, we can sayt that  <em>the</em><em> probability</em><em> that, given enough time, all tigers in the population will have horizontal stripes is</em><em> 30% = 0.3.</em>

--------------------------

<u>Available data:</u>

  • Population size, N = 100 tigers
  • Number of Tigers with horizontal stripes = 30
  • Horizontal stripes is caused by an autosomal recessive mutation.

We need to know the probability that all tigers in the population will have horizontal stripes, which is the recessive phenotype.

We assume that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, so there should be no evolution.

Since the population is in H-W equilibrium, the allelic, genotypic and phenotypic frequencies will remain the same generation after generation.

Now, we will calculate the allelic and genotypic frequencies of horizontal striped individuals in the population.

There are 100 individuals, and only 30 have horizontal stripes.

So, the phenotypic frequency, F(HS) is 30/100 = 0.3 = 30%

Since this is a recessive phenotype, this value equals the genotypic frequency, F(hh) = 30%

Finally, we can get the allelic frequency by taking the square root of this value.

F(hh) = q² = 0.3

f(h) = q = √0.3 = 0.55 = 55%

According to these calcs, the probability for the fixation of the recessive allele is 55%, and the probability that all individuals express the recessive horizontal stripes phenotype is 30%.

1. In the table below, identify each invertebrate by matching it with its characteristics.
erastovalidia [21]

Correct matching of invertebrates and its characteristics are as follows:

Sponges are animals which have many cell but no mouth, muscles , heart or brain. They are sessile and can not move from place to place like other animals do, filter feeding animals with an asymmetrical body plan.

Cnidarians are the animals with radial symmetry and stinging cnidocyte cells. These animals consists a special cell cnida which functions in preying catch and defense. example- jellyfish, anemone.

Flatworms are the worm like animal which do not consist a body cavity or coelom. example- fluke and tapeworms.

Roundworms or threadworms are segmented worms that can live in water or land. They consist a body cavity and internal organs. examples- pinworms and hookworms.

Mollusks are the animals which consist mentle, foot and and sometimes a shell. example- octopus, squids.

Echinoderms are the animals which have radial symmetry and an endoskeleton made out of calcareous plate. These animals live only in marine environment.These animals lack circulatory and excretory systems.

Arthopods are the animals with jointed legs and an exoskeleton made out of chitin. example- spiders, shrimps and crabs.

The extermination of the dinosaurs, the start of a rise to dominance of mammals and a meteorite effect in mexico marks the boundary among the mesozoic and the cenozoic or as named as the k-p boundary. In addition, the cretaceous paleogene (K–Pg) boundary which is previously recognized as the cretaceous tertiary (K–T) boundary is a geological signature typically a thin band of rock.
