suppose a population is carrying a condition controlled by two alleles R (dominant) and r (recessive). if the frequency of the r allele is 15% and the frequency of the R allele is 85%. what will be the frequency of the RR genotype ,assuming evolution is not occuring?

Answers

Answer 1
I believe it's 72.25%
Answer 2

Answer:

Frequency of the RR [tex]= 72.25[/tex]%

Explanation:

Given -

R is the dominant allele and r is the recessive allele.

The frequency of the r allele is [tex]15[/tex]%[tex]= 0.15[/tex]

The frequency of the R allele is [tex]85[/tex]%[tex]= 0.85[/tex]

As per Hardy Weinberg's equation-

[tex]p = 0.85[/tex]

[tex]q = 0.15[/tex]

Also, evolution is not occurring is the basic assumption of Hardy Weinberg's principle.

Frequency of the RR genotype is equal to [tex]p^{2}[/tex]

Substituting the value of "p" we get

[tex]p^{2} = 0.85^{2} \\= 0.7225\\= 72.25[/tex]

Black and white coloration in cows is dominant to brown and white. Black and white cows were crossed over several years and the following progeny were produced: 8 black and white and 3 brown and white. What is the most probable genotype of each parent?

Answers

If we can treat "black and white" as a single allele that is dominant, let's call it B.
"Brown and white" as a recessive single allele can be called b.
Because offspring were both brown and black, we know both parents must have a b allele, and at least one must have a B allele.
If we complete a Punnett square for two heterozygous parents, we get results of 25% homozygous dominant (BB), 50% heterozygous (Bb), and 25% homozygous recessive (bb). In terms of physical gene expression, 75% of offspring would be black and white, and 25% brown and white. Looking at the results we have, 3 brown and white and 8 black and white, the results are very close to the results of crossing two heterozygotes: we have about 73% black and white (8/11) and about 27% brown and white (3/11). So, the most probable genotype for each parent was that each parent was a heterozygote, with a genotype of (Bb.)

If we can treat "black and white" as a single allele that is dominant, let's call it B. "Brown and white" as a recessive single allele can be represented  as genotype b. Because offspring were both brown and black, we know both parents must have a b allele, and at least one must have a B allele.

What is genotype ?

A genotype is the total set of heritable genes which is  transferred from parents to offspring;

These genes involve in encoding specific features and the characteristics can be physically expressed in an organism called as phenotype.

In a complete Punnett square for two heterozygous parents, we get results of 25% homozygous dominant (BB), 50% heterozygous (Bb), and 25% homozygous recessive (bb). In terms of phenotype, 75% of offspring would be black and white, and 25% brown and white.

You have 46 chromosomes in each of your somatic cells. If you cut your arm, how many chromosomes would be in each newly formed skin cell?

Answers

You would have .3 of a chromosome for each new cell

Newly formed skin cells, like all human somatic cells, would have 46 chromosomes.

The chromosomes are in each newly formed skin cell after an injury, such as a cut on the arm. In humans, somatic cells, which include skin cells, are generally diploid, meaning they contain a full set of chromosomes - one set from each parent, totalling 46 chromosomes. When your skin begins to heal after a cut and new skin cells are formed, these cells undergo a process called mitosis, which is how somatic cells divide to generate new cells identical to the original one. Therefore, each newly formed skin cell would also have 46 chromosomes.

what is the role of calcium in the cross bridge cycle?

Answers

The displacement of tropomyosin exposes the active sites of actin, allowing cross bridges to form. Troponin controls the position of tropomyosin on the thin filament, enabling myosin heads to bind to the active sites on actin

After Ca2+ is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, it binds with Troponin C, alters its shape and removes the tropomyosin from the binding site. Then, the myosin head binds to the exposed active sites of actin to form cross-bridges.

Why might some kinds of living things undergo sexual reproduction at times when conditions in their environment become less favorable?

Answers

The ANSWER is:

Assuming ur doing SOS:

In organisms that most often reproduce asexually, the product of sexual reproduction is often more resistant to unfavorable environmental conditions than the individual of the species produced by mitosis. Some kinds of protists such as protozoans and algae do not usually reproduce sexually unless growing conditions have become unfavorable. Many plants do not produce seeds until the approach of winter or a dry period of the year.

Sexual reproduction is defined as the fusion of male and female gametes to give rise to the organism. Sexual reproduction leads to diversity and variation. However, some asexually reproducing organisms undergo sexual reproduction.

The organisms reproducing asexually switch to sexual reproduction as:

1. Algae and fungi reproduce asexually, a mode of reproduction in which the organisms are genetically similar to the parent.

2. The algae and fungi switch to a sexual mode of reproduction because of the adverse conditions of the environment.

3. Sexual reproduction leads to diversity and variation that help the offspring to be better suited and sustained to the environment, having higher chances of survival.

Thus, during adverse conditions, the organisms like fungi shift to the sexual mode for the better survival of their offspring.

The purpose of photosynthesis is to produce usable chemical energy or glucose from solar energy. If the formula for glucose is C6H12O6, how many atoms of carbon are used to produce the glucose?

Answers

In the formula, the C6 shows the subscript. Therefore, in this case, 6 atoms are needed to produce the glucose.

Answer:

The correct answer is: 6 molecules of carbon dioxide are required in order to produce 1 molecule of glucose.

Glucose is synthesized in light-independent phase of the photosynthesis by cyclic process called Calvin cycle.

It takes place in the chloroplast and utilize ATP and NADPH produced in light-dependent phase of the photosynthesis.

Calvin cycle is divided into three parts: carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration.

The cycle fixes 1 molecule of carbon per rotation. In addition, it requires 3 ATP and 2 NADPH in a single turn.

The cycle turns 6 times to produce one molecule of glucose. Hence, it requires 6 CO₂, 18 ATP, and 12 NADPH to fix one molecule of glucose.

What would happen if all the energy in glucose were released in just one step instead of gradually as it is in cellular respiration? How is the gradual process of cellular respiration advantageous to the cell?

Answers

If the energy in glucose was released at once, most of the energy would be lost as light and heat. The light and heat could harm or even destroy the cell. The gradual process of cellular respiration allows the cell to control the release of energy into packages of ATP that can be used efficiently for cell activities.

In the case when all the glucose energy should be released so the energy should be losted. The explanation regarding the gradual process should be explained below.

Energy glucose:

In the case when all the glucose energy should be released so the energy should be lost in terms of light and heat. Since this harms or destroyed the cell. Moreover, the process of cellular respiration should permit the cell for controlling the energy realization into the ATP package form that should be used in an efficient manner with respect to the cell activities.

____ is the energy storage compound found in animals and ___ is the energy storage compound of plants.

Answers

Nucleus is the answer I think

Glycogen and fats are used by animals to store energy, while plants use starches like amylose and amylopectin. Glycogen is found primarily in liver and muscle cells, and fats deliver a dense energy supply. Starch provides an accessible energy source for the less dynamic energy requirements of plants.

Glycogen is the energy storage compound found in animals, and starch is the energy storage compound of plants. Animals use glycogen and fats, including oils and triglycerides, as their primary sources of stored energy. Glycogen is a highly branched polymer of glucose and is especially prevalent in liver and muscle cells for quick energy release. Fats, including oils and triglycerides, offer animals a dense energy source due to the high energy content of fatty acids (R-COOH) present in the fat molecules.

On the other hand, plants use starch molecules, such as amylose and amylopectin, for energy storage. Starches are less complex than animal polysaccharides and are suitable for the less dynamic energy needs of plants. When plants need to use this stored energy, they hydrolyze the starch back into glucose units to fuel their metabolic processes.
