A population of ground mice consist of 500 individuals. You are interested in the gene that codes for for a color and find out there are 580 dominant alleles in this population. What is the allele frequency for the dominant allele? What is the allele frequency for the recessive allele? (show your work)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

0,58

Explanation:

Mice are diploid (2n) organisms, which means that their cells contain two complete sets of homo-logous chromosomes (i.e., they have two copies of any given locus/gene). An allele can be defined as a variant of a gene, whereas diploid (2n) organisms have two alleles at each genetic locus, which are located on homo-logous chromosomes. In this case, we know that there are 580 dominant alleles in a population of 500 individuals, thereby the total number of alleles in this population is 1000 (2n >> 500 x 2 = 1000 alleles), and the frequency of the dominant allele is 0,58 (580/1000 = 0,58).

In his study of pea plants, Gregor Mendel used which method to produce offspring?

Answers

Answer:

cross-pollination. He cross pollinated parents with different traits.

Explanation:

Gregor Johann Mendel was a great scientist/ Biologist that was born on the 20th day of the month of July, in the year 1822 in Czechia and he died on the 6th day of January, in the year 1884. Gregor Johann Mendel made significant effect on the aspect of genetics and heredity in Biology and science generally.

If you look at the world today, you are going to see beautiful and improves varieties of plants and animals which are known as hybrids.

For his research on inheritance, he cross pollinated parents with different traits to produce offsprings.

Cross-Pollination was used

Fish are not able to regulate their body temperature by producing heat. How could a fish adjust its body temperature if it were too warm?a. swimming into cooler water
b. evaporating water from its skin
c. expelling water from its body
d. speeding up its level of activity

Answers

The answer is A: Swimming into colder water. When fish are hot, they swim deeper; which is the same thing as swimming into cold water. B is incorrect, because if the fish is hot, there's no use going to the surface-which is hotter- to evaporate water from it's skin. By the way, what's the use of evaporating water again? The fish is still hot! C is wrong, because the only fish known to man that expels water, is the puffer-fish. Since the answer talks about fish in general, C is eliminated too. Finally, D is wrong because... um... someone please explain to me why a fish will speed up when the fishes temperature is getting hotter then supposed to!

The chaparral biome is generally characterized by its terrain.

True or False?

Answers

I believe this would be false. Chaparral biomes can have many different types of terrains. The land in a chaparral biome can be mountainous, rocky, or flat. Chaparral biomes are generally defined by their temperature and climate. They are very hot and dry, and have mild winters and extreme summers. Hope this helps.

Which is an activity that increases the genetic variation within a population of earthworms

Answers

The answer is Evolution.

The increase of genetic among the population of earthworms is because of evolution. Evolution refers to the process in which the genetic traits in a population of organism changes over time. It could also be natural selection. According to Darwin's theory of evolution, surviving organisms are well adapted to their environment.
