The correct answer is - a. It will reduce genetic diversity.
The pumas that live in Florida, also known as the Florida Panthers, will have a much reduced genetic diversity. The reason for this is that the population is very small. It also lives in the same area, where the living conditions are the same. The genetic pool is very small, and the breeding is going on between individuals that have the same traits, and are also relatively closely related, as the mating occurs between the second or third generation that came out form the same parents. That will result in a very reduced genetic diversity, so the Florida Panther will remain the same if the conditions do not change drastically, or these an invasion of pumas from the west into their territory.
A large class of molecules is called a macromolecule.
They work coordinately by beating movements and helps the protists to move. ... Therefore, the important locomotory organelles in protists are flagella, cilia and pseudopodia. Flagella is a single, slender long structure while cilia are numerous in number. Cilia helped in locomotion by the synchronized beating movements.
The answer is <span>A. p2 = 0.36, 2pq = 0.48, q2 = 0.16.
</span>
Let's first distinguish alleles frequencies from genotypes frequencies:
p - a frequency of R allele,
q - a frequency of r allele,
p² - a frequency of RR genotype,
2pq - a frequency of Rr genotype,
q² - a frequency of rr genotype.
<span>The gene frequency of allele r changes from 0.38 to 0.40, thus:
</span>q = 0.40
Now, we will implement this in the following equation:
p + q = 1
If q = 0.40, then:
p + 0.40 = 1
⇒ p = 1 - 0.40
⇒ p = 0.60
Now, the frequencies of both alleles are know and it is easy to calculate the <span>genotype frequencies:
-</span> the frequency of RR genotype: p² = 0.60² = 0.36
- the frequency of Rr genotype: 2pq = 2 · 0.60 · 0.40 = 0.48
- the frequency of rr genotype: q² = 0.40² = 0.16
Therefore, the new genotype frequencies in that population are <span>p2 = 0.36, 2pq = 0.48, q2 = 0.16.</span>
