Just considering one locus (a specific location on a DNA strand), evidence at a crime scene shows a genotype of 5, 9 STR repeats

at this locus. The general population frequencies for the alleles 5 and 9 are 0.100 and 0.300, respectively. How frequent would the genotype 5, 9 be expected to be in the general population

4 0

Answer:

0.1 x 0.3 = 0.03 = 3%

Explanation:

Assuming a process of random mating in the population, it is possible to infer that the genotype frequencies will be the product of the allele frequencies. The random mating is one of the postulates of the Hardy-Weinberg Law, which is widely used in population genetics to estimate genotypic frequencies when populations are expected to be in an equilibrium state (it is also expected by default in human populations).  In this case, the genotype frequencies will be certainly low (3%), thereby this locus may be useful to investigate a police case.

Which of the following best describes how the structure of ice benefits the organisms that live in the water below?
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The water molecules in ice are considerably far apart as compared to cold water of 4 degrees centigrade and below. This, therefore, makes ice less dense than water at these temperatures (because they are fewer water molecules in ice per unit volume). This is why ice floats on cold water below 4 degrees centigrade. Ice, being a bad conductor of heat, shields the water below an ice sheet from excessive heat loss to the atmosphere. This is why water remains liquid below an ice sheet protecting the marine life below from complete freezing.

Suppose the size of a population of marmots is 300. According to genetic drift theory, what is the probability that a newly aris
arsen [322]

Answer:

E. 1/600

Explanation:

Hint:

The probability of fixation of a new neutral mutation is 1/(2N)

Given N as 300

= 1/(2×300)

=1/600

Therefore,

1/600 gives a sure fixation of one allele from the large population

In translation, the cell uses the genetic information contained in mRNA to make the proteins that carry out the cell's work.
stellarik [79]

Answer:

The correct option is d) UAG

Explanation:

Central dogma can be described as the process in which the transcription and translation occurs. The process by which mRNA is made from the DNA is called transcription and the process by which proteins are made by mRNA is called translation.

The first codon present on the DNA is TAG. The mRNA formed from this codon will be AUC. When this mRNA will travel from the nucleus to the cytoplam, the tRNA will bring the anticodons UAG for the first mRNA codon. Hence, the correct option is D.
