A large population of laboratory animals has been allowed to breed randomly for a number of generations. After several generatio

ns, 25% of the animals display a recessive trait (aa), the same percentage as at the beginning of the breeding program. The rest of the animals show the dominant phenotype, with heterozygotes indistinguishable from the homozygous dominants. 12. What is the most reasonable conclusion that can be drawn from the fact that the frequency of the recessive trait (aa) has not changed over time? A. The population is undergoing genetic drift B. The two phenotypes are about equally adaptive under laboratory conditions C. The genotype AA is lethal D. There has been a high rate of mutation of allele A to allele a E. There has been sexual selection favoring allele a 13. What is the estimated frequency of allele A in the gene pool? A. 0.25 B. 0.50 C. 0.75

Answer:

B. 0.50

Explanation:

The estimated frequency of allele A in the gene pool is 0.50. Allele A is a variant form of gene which has different forms located at same position. Allele frequency determines common presence of genetic locus of an allele in the population. It is calculated by dividing the number of common allele that appears in the population by total number of copies of genes.

Describe how population studies can be conducted in a school garden
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Population studies look at factors for one individual species.

Explanation:

In a garden, there are multiple species of plants growing. You could study different factors of each population, which is just all the individuals of one species in an area. For example, you could study how adding fertilizer affects the growth of tomato plants. To do this, you would have some tomato plants in the garden that have fertilizer added to the soil and some that don't. At the end of a certain period of time, maybe a month, measure the plants, find the average height and compare their growth. This is just one example, but there are lots of different things you could study.

A student placed a semipermeable membrane inside a U-shaped channel with two chambers, as shown. The
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Placing salty water in  A and distilled water in  B.

Explanation:

The fastest net rate of water movement into the A-side will occur if we place salty water on that side and distilled water in the other one. The reason for this is that the A-side contains a higher concentration of solute than B. So, the water will pass the semipermeable membrane and go to the A-side to valance the concentrations on both sides. As we can see, there is an increase in the net rate of water movement into A.

Which of the following examples can cause gene flow between populations?
yanalaym [24]
The answer is <span>bird droppings that contain seeds from a different location.

</span><span>Gene flow includes a transfer of alleles from one population to another. So imagine a population of plant A on location 1 and another population of plant A on location 2. They cannot interchange their genes. But if birds drop seeds from location 1 and those seeds get to location 2, gene flow may occur.</span>
