Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

q = 0.42

Explanation:

This question is an example of Hardy-Weinberg question and there are two equations necessary to carry out this question;

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q²  = 1

where;

p = the frequency of the dominant allele

q =  the frequency of the recessive allele

p² = the frequency of individuals with homozygous dominant genotype

2pq  = the frequency of individuals with heterozygous genotype

q² = frequency of individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype

Since the total  population = 425

q² = \frac{individuals with recessive genotype}{Total Population}

= \frac{75}{425}

q² = 0.1765            

To find q; we need to square root both side to           eliminate the square from  q².

∴ \sqrt{q^2}=\sqrt{0.1765}

q = 0.4201

q = 0.42       (to two decimal places)

The population of a colony of mosquitoes obeys the law of uninhibited growth. If there are 1000 mosquitoes initially and there a
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

2,855 is the size of the colony of mosquitoes after 4 ​days.

Explanation:

The law of uninhibited growth is given as:

A=A_o\times e^{k\times t}

A_o= Original amount

A = Amount after time t

k = Positive constant repressing the rate of growth

We are given with:

Original population of mosquitoes = 1000

Population of mosquitoes after 1 day =1300

t = 1 day

1300=1000\times e^{k\times 1 day}

k = 0.2623 day^{-1}

Population size of mosquitoes after 4 days

A_o=1000, k= 0.2623 day^{-1}

A =? , t = 4 days

A=1000\times e^{ 0.2623 day^{-1}\times 4 days}

A =2,855.36 ≈ 2,855 mosquitoes

2,855 is the size of the colony of mosquitoes after 4 ​days.

You have begun work on a new experiment determining exactly how certain neurotoxins affect the nervous system. After running mul
Lynna [10]

When looking at a Neuromuscular Junction (NMJ), we know that neurotransmitters (NT) are released from the presynaptic cell and they then bind to the receptors that are located on the postsynaptic cell - this causes the effect of the NT being released.

So we are told that NT are still being released, however they are not having an effect. This would mean that they are probably being blocked by something - in this case, it seems that the neurotoxin is the culprit in the blocking of these receptors.

Therefore, if the NT cannot bind to the receptors on the postsynaptic cell, they are not going to have any effect, no matter how much NT is being released.

So the answer in this case is: The neurotoxin is most likely C) Blocking the receptors on the postsynaptic cell.
