In one generation, the frequency of the A allele is 70 percent and the frequency of the a allele is 30 percent. What are the chances of an individual in the next generation having the genotype aa if the population is in genetic equilibrium? 49% 42% 30% 9%

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer would be 9%.

As the population is in genetic equilibrium, then the population must be following the Hardy-Weinberg equations:

p + q = 1 and

p² + q² + 2pq = 1

The frequency of A (dominant allele) in a population is 70 percent.

Thus, the value of p would be 70/100 which comes out be 0.7

Similarly, the value of q would be equal to 0.3

The frequency of individual with homozygous recessive genotype, that is, aa would be equal to q².

So, q² = $(0.3)^(2)$ ⇒ 0.09

Thus, the frequency of individual with genotype aa would be equal to 9 percent.

Answer 2

Answer: 9%

Why?
The frequency for allele a is 30% or 0.3. Let's call this frequency p.
p^2 would then represent the frequency of genotype aa (this is is derived from the formula p^2+2pq+q^2=1 where p and q represent alleles a and A respectively. So p^2=aa, pq=Aa and q^2=AA)
0.3^2=0.09 or 9%

The most abundant elements in the body are hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and what?

Answers

Answer: The correct answer is nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus.

Explanation:

Elements are defined as the substances which are made out of same type of atoms. For Example: Hydrogen, Oxygen etc..

Human body is made up of various types of elements in which 6 are most abundant.

Almost 99% of the mass of human body is made up of mainly six elements. They are oxygen (O), carbon (C), hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N), calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P).

About 0.85 % of mass of human body is composed of other 5 elements which are potassium (K), sulfur (S), sodium (Na), chlorine (Cl) and magnesium (Mg).

Hence, the correct answer is nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus.

Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Sulphur. Remember the acronym CHNOPS: Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorous, and Sulphur

Answer:

Genetically identical

Explanation:

Mitosis is a simpler cell division as compared to the meiosis cell division. Here , the genetic material on the chromosome replicates itself and produces exactly the same set of chromosomes which after Cytokines lead to formation of similar cells.

This kind of cell division is common is non sex cells which are required to replicate fast and in large numbers to form body organs. These cells play an important role in development of embryos.

Organisms that live in desert and desert-scrub biomes have developed unique adaptations that aid in their survival. The Sahara Desert takes up ten percent of the continent of Africa, and is the largest desert in the world. The species that live in the Sahara are highly adapted to survive in the extreme conditions they live in. What morphological and physiological adaptations might be seen in the organisms that live in the Sahara Desert?a.

water absorbing skin, large eyes for hunting at night, webbed feet

b.

light colored fur or feathers for camouflage, dense layer of fat and fur for warmth, hibernation during cold months

c.

small bodies and long limbs in warm-blooded organisms, light colored fur or feathers to reflect sunlight, lack of sweat glands in many organisms, hibernation during hot months

d.

dark colored fur or feathers for heat absorption, large bodies and short limbs, consumption of primarily scrub and short grasses

Answers

The morphological and physiological adaptations that might be seen in the organisms that live in the Sahara Desert are small bodies and long limbs in warm-blooded organisms, light colored fur or feathers to reflect sunlight, lack of sweat glands in many organisms, hibernation during hot months.

Best answer choice: C)

I hope it helps, Regards.

The answer is c. small bodies and long limbs in warm-blooded organisms, light colored fur or feathers to reflect sunlight, lack of sweat glands in many organisms, hibernation during hot months.

In the Sahara desert, a temperature could reach extreme values. It is extremely hot and sunny and animals must adapt in order to survive in such conditions.
The warm-blooded animals have small bodies and long limbs. The aim of longer limbs is to increase surface area through which body heat will be lost to the environment. Fur of feathers are light colored because lighter colors reflect the sunlight more efficiently. It is known that black color the most efficiently of all colors absorbs heat while white color most efficiently of all colors reflects the sunlight. Further, animals lack in sweat glands. If they do not sweat, less water will be lost from the body. Also, many species hibernate during hot months and thereby save energy.
