A harmful mutation will harm the organism, a helpful will help the organism to survive, and a neutral will not affect the organism.Lol I feel like a nerd
Answer:
96000YEARS
Explanation:
Given that 1/28 = 8 half lives
this means that 8 half lives ,
and the given fossil should have 1/28 of the isotope
8 half lives = 1200 x 8
= 96000years
therefore the predicted Neandertal fossils is 96000years
Answer:
0.2404
Explanation:
The genes R/r and E/e are linked and there is 4% recombination between them.
<u>The possible genotypes and phenotypes are:</u>
- RR or Rr: Rh+ blood type
- rr: Rh- blood type
- EE or Ee: elliptocytosis
- ee: normal red blood cells
Tom and Terri each have elliptocytosis (they are E_), and each is Rh+ (they are R_).
Tom's mother has elliptocytosis (E_) and is Rh- (rr), so she has the genotype Er/_r. His father is healthy (ee) and has Rh+ (R_), so he has the genotype eR/e_. Tom must have inherited his E allele from his mother and his R allele from his father, so he has the genotype eR/Er.
Terri's father is Rh+ (R_) and has elliptocytosis (E_), while Terri's mother is Rh- (rr) and is healthy (ee) with the genotype er/er. Terry could only receive the chromosome <em>er </em>from her mother, and because she is heterozygous for both genes the dominant alleles were both received from her father. Terri's genotype is ER/er.
The frequency of recombination is 4%, so 4% of the produced gametes will be recombinant. There are two possible recombinant gametes, so each will appear 2% of the times (a frequency of 0.02).
<u />
<u>Tom will produce the following gametes:</u>
- eR, parental (0.48)
- Er, parental (0.48)
- er, recombinant (0.02)
- ER (recombinant (0.02)
<u>Terri will produce the following gametes:</u>
- ER, parental (0.48)
- er, parental (0.48)
- Er, recombinant (0.02)
- eR, recombinant (0.02)
A child Rh- with elliptocytosis has the genotype rrE_. This can happen from the independent combination of the following gametes from Tom and Terri respectively:
- Er (0.48) × er (0.48) = 0.2304 Er/er
- Er (0.48) × Er (0.02) = 0.0096 Er/Er
- er (0.02) × Er (0.02) = 0.0004 er/Er
And the total probability of having a rrE_ child will be 0.2304 + 0.0096 + 0.0004 = 0.2404
Answer:
Due to the presence of limited number of species.
Explanation:
Bear island provide a great opportunity to decipher entire food chains because this island has many animals species which interact with each other or depend on one another due to the presence of less animals for feeding purpose. This island is isolated from the rest of the world so it provide a great opportunity to study the entire food chains that are present at that island. There is less number of species so knowing about their feeding choices is easier for the ecologists.
