A moth's color is controlled by two alleles, G and g, at a single locus. G (gray) is dominant to g (white). A large population of moths was studied, and the frequency of the G allele in the population over time was documented, as shown in the figure below. In 1980 a random sample of 2,000 pupae was collected and moths were allowed to emerge. Assuming that the population was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the G locus, what percentage of the gray moths that emerged in 1980 was heterozygous? (The Answer is 67%, can you please explain why it's 67%? thank you!!)

A Moth's Color Is Controlled By Two Alleles, G And G, At A Single Locus. G (gray) Is Dominant To G (white).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

67%

Explanation:

Answer 2

When taking random samples from a population, the observed numbers are not always as the expected ones. The difference is by chance, instead of 50% heter0zyg0us, the sample included 67%.  

--------------------------

Available data:

-  Moths' color ⇒ diallelic gene

G allele → dominant → Codes for greyg allele →  recessive → Codes for white

- f(G) 1960 = 0.8

- f(G) 1965 = 0.7

- f(G) 1970 = 0.6

- f(G) 1975 and 1980 = 0.5

-  1980 ⇒ N = 2000 pupae

-  Population in H-W equilibrium

Hardy-Weinberr equilibrium,  

Assuming a diallelic gene, p and q are the allelic frequencies in a locus and represent the allelic d0minant or recessive forms.  The gen0typic frequencies after one generation are (H0m0zyg0us d0minant), 2pq (Heter0zyg0us),(H0m0zyg0us recessive).   Populations in H-W equilibrium will get the same allelic frequencies generation after generation.When adding the allelic frequencies of a population in H-W equilibrium, the result should be 1, this is p + q = 1.In the same way, when adding the genotypic frequencies, the result should also equal 1, this is p²+ 2pq + q² = 1

In this problem we assume that the population is under H-W equilibrium, and we know that p = 0.5.

Considering that p + q = 1, then by clearing the equation, we get the value of q = 0.5    

Finally, we know that the genotypic frequency of the heter0zygous genotype is 2pq, so,

F(Gg) = 2pq = 2 x 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.5 = 50%

Now, among the options in the problem, there is not 50% but others. One of them, and the closest to 50%, is 67%.

The chart reflects that through the years, the moth's populations stabilized. Both alleles were favored, and their frequencies got to be equal to each other -0.5-. So there is a high probability of getting heter0zyg0us individuals in the population -50%-, more than any of the h0mzyg0us ones -25%-.  

However, in a natural population, the amount of h0m0zyg0us and heter0zygous individuals observed is not always the same as the expected ones. This fact happens especially when there are random samples.

In this experiment, the researcher took 2000 pupae, but they did not know their genotype. They just took them randomly. Even though the population is in H-W equilibrium, when sampling, the researcher took more heter0zyg0us individuals than the expected ones. It does not mean that the population is not under H-W equilibrium. It just means that by chance, more heter0zyg0us were selected.

So what you need to do in these situations, is to analyze your problem and the provided information, and think about the most feasible answer.

In this case, the expected number is 50% heter0zyg0us. The closest option is 67% and the most feasible. So that would be the answer.

A scientific study demonstrated that rat mothering behavior impacts the stress response in their pups. Rats that were born and grew up with attentive mothers showed low activation of stress-response genes later in life, while rats with inattentive mothers had high activation of stress-response genes in the same situation. An additional study that swapped the pups at birth (i.e., rats born to inattentive mothers grew up with attentive mothers and vice versa) showed the same positive effect of attentive mothering. How do genetics and/or epigenetics explain the results of this study

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Regarding genetics, the results of the study show that the mother's genetic material does not influence the behavior of rats in times of stress or in the biological responses of rats to these stressful moments. This is because the mice inherited their mothers' genes, but did not show the same results in a stressful situation when they were raised with different mothers.

Regarding epigenetics, however, we can see that the mothers' behavior in relation to the care of rats managed to provoke epigenetic changes that prevented or stimulated the expression of genes linked to stress, in these rats. The rats that were raised with attentive mothers showed a low expression of stress-linked genes, regardless of the biological mother they had. In addition, it is possible to notice that this modification is permanent, since the rats presented this same type of response throughout their lives.

describe a specific exmaple of postive action that reduce human imapct on land?

Answers

Answer:

Human activities contribute to climate change by causing changes in Earth’s atmosphere in the amounts of greenhouse gases, aerosols (small particles), and cloudiness. The largest known contribution comes from the burning of fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide gas to the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases and aerosols affect climate by altering incoming solar radiation and out-going infrared (thermal) radiation that are part of Earth’s energy balance. Changing the atmospheric abundance or properties of these gases and particles can lead to a warming or cooling of the climate system. Since the start of the industrial era (about 1750), the overall effect of human activities on climate has been a warming influence. The human impact on climate during this era greatly exceeds that due to known changes in natural processes, such as solar changes and volcanic eruptions.

frequency for the albino allele?
16
16

0.84

Answers

Answer:

The gene frequency for the albino allele is 16%.

Explanation:

Given that in a population with 100 rabbits there are 16 that are albino, with two recessive genes for albinism, to determine, in this population, what is the gene frequency for the albino allele, the following calculation must be performed:

16/100 = X

0.16 = X

1 = 100

0.16 = X

0.16 x 100 = X

16 = X

Therefore, the gene frequency for the albino allele is 16%.

In the past, fifty percent of jaguars in the Amazon jungle had large strong jaws and fifty percent had weak jaws. There was a change in their environment leaving only hard-shelled reptiles like turtles available for the jaguars to eat. Below is a graph showing the allele frequency in the population of jaguars over the next 5 generations.

Construct an argument based on evidence to determine which allele represents the large strong jaws and which allele represents the weak jaws.

Answers

Answer:

Allele G represents the strong jaw, and allele g represents the weak jaw. This is because as the generations go by, allele G’s population increases, but allele g’s population decreases. If hard shelled animals are the only foods available to them, you would need a strong jaw to eat them. This means that allele g wouldn’t be able to eat these reptiles, so their population would decrease from lack of food.

What is the main difference between primary succession and secondary succession?

Answers

Answer:

Primary succession in the first initial establishment of an ecosystem on a new layer of terrain (usually rock), whereas secondary succession is a re-establishment of an ecosystem OR simply any establishment of an ecosystem on a rock which was previously inhabited.

Explanation:

Primary succession is the very first establishment of an ecosystem on a new layer of terrain (usually rock) which was previously uninhabited by living organisms. Secondary succession can be thought of as a re-establishment of ecosystems on a terrain/rock which was previously inhabited but is no longer due to an ecological or environmental disruption.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

Primary succession is the progress of plants growing on bare lands, like a bulldozed area, a landslide, or even a solid rock. (Or a volcano.)

On the rock, lichens start, make a little soil, mosses start in the soil, make a little more, Spikemoss (a vascular plant) starts, traps and makes more soil, making a place for dry land plants, which trap and make more soil, eventually, after a very long time, giving rise to a mature forest over rock. The only way to tell that rock is the substrate is the forest composition

Secondary is from a place that has had a forest, and is either burned, farmed, or cut. Plants start very quickly from seeds, roots, tubers, and reforestation can take as little as 20 years, and maturity as little as 75.
