Sandra and John have a flock of 4500 sheep, and they started to concern about the wool color after the flock has been closed for random breeding/mating for an extended period. One day, they have counted and found that 950 sheep were white, and the remainders were black. Assume that black wool is controlled by a single locus and the allele for black color is completely dominant to white. Let B represent the black allele and b represent the while allele. Assume HW equilibrium,
A) What is the observed genotypic frequency for the bb genotype?
B) What are the expected gene frequencies for B and b alleles?
C) What are the expected genotypic frequencies and counts for each of the three genotypes?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A:

Frequency of bb genotype=0.2111

Part B:

Frequency of B alleles is denoted by x=0.5407

Frequency of b alleles is denoted by y=0.4593

Part C:

Frequency of BB genotype=0.2924

Frequency of bb genotype=0.2111

Frequency of Bb genotype=0.4966

Explanation:

Given:

Total Sheep= 4500

White Sheep=950

B for black allele

b for white allele

Part A:

[tex]Frequency\ of\ white\ sheep=\frac{White\ Sheep}{Total\ Sheep}[/tex]

[tex]Frequency\ of\ white\ sheep=\frac{950}{4500}\\Frequency\ of\ white\ sheep=0.211[/tex]

Frequency of white sheep= Frequency of bb genotype=0.2111

Further:

Let frequency of b alleles is denoted by y.

[tex]Frequency\ of\ white\ sheep=y^{2}= 0.211\\y=\sqrt{0.211}\\y=0.4593[/tex]

Frequency of b alleles is 0.4593.

Part B:

Sum of the frequencies of B and b alleles is 1

Let frequency of B alleles is denoted by x

Let frequency of b alleles is denoted by y

x+y=1

y is calculated in part A and has value=0.4593

x+0.4593=1

x=1-0.4593

x=0.5407

Frequency of B alleles is denoted by x=0.5407.

Frequency of b alleles is denoted by y=0.4593.

Part C:

Three genotypes are BB, Bb, bb

In case of three genotypes frequency is:

[tex]F=x^2+2xy+y^2[/tex]

Now [tex]x^2\\[/tex] is for BB genotypes

From Part B;

x=0.5407

[tex]x^2=(0.5407)^2\\x^2=0.2924[/tex](Frequency of BB genotype)

Now [tex]y^2\\[/tex] is for bb genotypes

From Part A:

y=0.4593

[tex]y^2=(0.4593)^2\\y^2=0.211[/tex]  (Frequency of bb genotype)

From above frequency Formula:

Now [tex]2xy[/tex] is for Bb genotype:

2*x*y=2*0.5407*0.4593

2*x*y=2*0.2483=0.4966 (Frequency of Bb genotype)

You should be familiar with the drugstore antibiotic ointment Neosporin (Triple antibiotic ointment), which is often thought of as innocuous. Based on your knowledge of antibiotics from Chapter 12 describe the mode of actions of the three antibiotics found in Neosporin (neomycin, polymyxin, and bacitracin), research their side effects, and postulate on why these three antibiotics were chosen.

Answers

Answer: Antibiotics are chemicals which, in low concentrations, can selectively kill or inhibit the growth of most pathogenic bacteria and are not harmful to humans.

Explanation:

Neosporin is a type of antibiotics which is used for the treatment or prevention of mild superficial infections. It consists of three active component, hence the name Triple antibiotic ointment. These active components, their mode of action and side effects include:

--> NEOMYCIN : This is one of the active components of Neosporin which inhibits the protein synthesis of an invading pathogenic bacteria through irreversible binding to the 30 S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria. Their MODE OF ACTION is bactericidal meaning that the effect it has on the protein synthesis inhibits it's growth leading to the death of the bacteria.

SIDE EFFECTS: it can cause irritation, burning, itching, rash redness when applied topically.

--> POLYMYXIN: This is one of the active components of neosporin which attacks the invading pathogenic gram negative bacteria. In its mode of action, is the ability to combine with and disorganise structures of the bacterial cell which are responsible for the maintenance of the osmotic equilibrium of the cell thereby exposing the underlying peptidoglycan layer to lysozyme.

SIDE EFFECTS: Burning, redness, or irritation of the skin may occur.

--> BACITRACIN: This is also one of the active components of Neosporin. In its mode of action, it inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis. This is achieved by preventing the final dephosphorylation step in the phospholipid carrier cycle, which interferes with the mucopeptide transfer to the growing cell wall.

SIDE EFFECTS: it may cause rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat).

These three active components of Neosporin are combined to broaden the antibacterial spectrum. This means that at least one of the active components will effectively kill an invading pathogenic bacteria through its unique mode of action.

When a filament of algae is illuminated with light that is passed through a prism, different segments of algae are exposed to different wavelengths of light. When aerobic bacteria are present, they congregate in highest concentrations in the areas illuminated by the red and blue light. These data suggest a relationship between which of the following variables?
a) Wavelength of light and rate of aerobic respiration
b) Wavelength of light and amt of heat released
c) Wavelength of light and the rate of photosynthesis
d) Carbon dioxide concentration and the rate of photosynthesis

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is C) wavelength of light and rate of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

The given question is a famous experiment conducted by T W Engelmann which is called the action spectrum experiment. In this experiment when light passes through a prism it splits into its constituent colors splits into violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red.

Aerobic bacteria require oxygen for their survival. The green algae produce oxygen during photosynthesis. Engelmann released aerobic bacteria to it. it is found that the bacteria accumulated at the blue and red light because photosynthesis and oxygen release were higher there. So, it establishes the relationship between the wavelength of light and photosynthesis.

A gardener wanted to know if E-Z fertiliser would be good for his vegetables. He fertilised all his bean plants with E-Z fertiliser but didn’t put any fertiliser on his pepper plants. His beans didn’t do well at all, but he got a good crop of peppers. He concluded that E-Z fertiliser was no good. What are the errors in this experiment? Tick all that apply

A) Not enough subjects
B) Subjects were not similar
C) Conditions were not kept the same
D) The experiment was not reproduced

Answers

Answer:

B) Subjects were not similar

The errors in this experiment are: subjects were not similar and conditions were not kept the same. Hence the correct options are B and C.

Subjects were not similar: The gardener used two different types of plants, beans, and peppers, to test the effectiveness of E-Z fertiliser. Beans and peppers have different growth requirements, nutritional needs, and environmental preferences. By using different types of plants as subjects, the experiment introduces variability and makes it difficult to attribute the outcome solely to the fertiliser.

Conditions were not kept the same: The gardener applied E-Z fertiliser to the bean plants but did not provide any fertiliser to the pepper plants. This difference in treatment introduces a significant confounding factor, making it impossible to isolate the effect of the fertiliser on the bean plants' poor performance.

Hence the correct options are B and C.

Explanation: The steps of Cas9 DNA recognition and cleavage goes in the following order lettered A, B, D, C, E and F. Cas9 recognizes and binds the sgRNA after which it binds to the double stranded DNA. It then unwinds and scans the dsDNA for its protospacer adjacent motif sequence (PAM) and on recognition the sgRNA binds to its complementary sequence followed by cleavage of the DNA at two points. That is how the double stranded break is created.

Answer:

Explanation:

The statement that is not true is that there are many systems, or, parts, that work independently. The correct option is C.

What is Earth's system?

The application of systems science to the Earth is known as earth system science. It focuses on interactions and 'feedbacks' in particular.

The five Earth systems interact to create the environments we are familiar with.

Everything in the Earth's system can be classified as either land, water, living things, or air. These four components of the system are referred to as "spheres."

They are the "lithosphere" (land), the "hydrosphere" (water), the "biosphere" (living things), and the "atmosphere" (air).

The geosphere is split up into four subsystems: the lithosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, and atmosphere.

Because these subsystems interact with one another and with the biosphere, they work together to influence the climate, trigger geological processes, and influence life on Earth.

Thus, the correct option is C.
