In wolves, gray coat color (G) is dominant to black (g) and brown eyes (B) are dominant to blue (b). The genes that control these traits are located on different chromosomes. The alpha male of the pack has the dominant phenotype for both traits and is heterozygous for both traits. The alpha female has brown eyes and a black coat; she is heterozygous for eye color. Which option represents gametes that would be made by the alpha female

Answers

The combination of gametes that will be produced by the Alpha female is Bg, Bg, bg and bg.

According to this question, two genes coding for eye color and coat color in wolves are involved. Gray coat color (G) is dominant to black coat color (g) while brown eyes (B) are dominant to blue eyes (b).

The alpha female of the pack is said to have a brown eyes and a black coat (gg) but she is heterozygous for eye color (Bb). This means that she posseses the following genotype: Bbgg.

According to Mendel in his law of independent assortment, alleles of a gene will segregate into gametes independently of one another.

This means that the alpha female with genotype (Bbgg) will segregate into the following combinations of gametes: Bg, Bg, bg and bg.

The recessive allele frequency decreased (q = 0.14) and the dominant one increased (p = 0.86). Genotypic frequencies followed this tendency too (q² =0.02, 2pq = 0.24 and p² = 0.74). The Carbonaria phenotype increased to 0.98, while Typica showed a frequency of 0.02.  

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

Available data:

Some moths were released in the forest (N=1000). 250 were white, and 750 were black.

The color is defined by a single diallelic gene. The dominant allele -D- codes for black color (carbonaria), while the recessive allele -d- codes for white (Typica).

These individuals produced five new generations since they were released, G1, G2, G3, G4, G5.

This information is guiding you to know how to calculate frequencies and total numbers. Information about released individuals is an example of how you need to proceed.

Firts, we will assume that this population is under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. So let us review some theoretical framework.

The allelic frequencies in a locus ⇒ p and q dominant and  

                                                                               recessive alleles.

The genotypic frequencies after one generation are (H0m0zyg0us dominant), 2pq (Heterozyg0us), (H0m0zyg0us recessive).

If a populations is in H-W equilibrium, it will get the same allelic frequencies generation after generation.  

The sum of allelic frequencies equals 1 ⇒ p + q = 1.

The sum of genotypic frequencies equals 1 ⇒ p² + 2pq + q² = 1

Now let us analyze the problem.

We need to get information on G5 generation. We will do it step by step.

1) Phenotype frequencies

To get the Phenotype frequencies, we just need to divide the number of individuals with each phenotype by the total number of individuals in this generation. So,

Total number of individuals in G5  →  1435 White = Typica = 29 individuals Black = Carbonaria = 1406 individuals

F(Typica) = 29 / 1435 = 0.02  

F(Carbonaria) = 1406 / 1435 = 0.979 ≅ 0.98    

2) Allelic Frequencies

We can use the phenotypic frequencies to get the allelic frequencies.

Remember that carbonaria (black) moths include h0m0zyg0us dominant (DD) and heter0zyg0us (Dd) individuals. So we can not get the allelic frequencies from this data.

We can only use the allelic frequency of Typica (White) individuals. Typica phenotypic frequency only includes h0m0zyg0us recessive individuals, dd.

We know that,

H0m0zyg0us recessive genotype  →  dd

Genotypic frequency →  F(dd) → Represented as q²            

F(Typica) = F(dd) = = 0.02

Recessive allele → d

Recessive allelic frequency →  f(d) → Represented as q

f(d) = q = ??

q² = 0.02

q = √ 0.02

q = 0.1414 ≅ 0.14

0.14 is the recessive allelic frequency. Now we should calculate the dominant allelic frequency. To do this, we will clear the following formula,

p + q = 1

p + 0.14 = 1

p = 1 - 0.14

p = 0.86

So, now we also know that

f(D) = p = 0.86

f(d) = q = 0.14

3) Genotypic Frequencies

Now, we need to get the genotypic frequencies, F(xx)

⇒ F(DD) = p² = 0.86² = 0.7396 ≅ 0.74

F(Dd) = 2pq = 2 x 0.86 x 0.14 = 0.24

F(dd) = q² = 0.14² = 0.0196 ≅ 0.02    

4) Number of individuals

Finally, we need to tell the number of individuals with each genotype. We just need to multiply each frequency by the total number of individuals in G5.

F(DD) = p² = 0.74

F(Dd) = 2pq = 0.24

F(dd) = q² = 0.02    

Total number of individuals = 1435

⇒ DD Black -Carbonaria- individuals → 0.74 x 1435 = 1,061.9 ≅ 1062

⇒ Dd Black -Carbonaria- individuals → 0.24 x 1435 = 344.4 ≅ 344

⇒ dd White -Typica- individuals → 0.02 x 1435 = 28.7 ≅ 29

From this results, we can conclude that the moths population is not in H-W equilibrium, because their allelic and genotypic frequencies changed through generations.

It seems that Natural selection is favoring the dominant phenotype by increasing the frequency of the dominant allele over the recessive one. Probably directional selection is acting on this population.

The pairs are homologous chromosomes that have the same set of genes, but likely different variations of those genes. The correct option is A.

What are homologous chromosomes?

Among a pair of chromosomes with the very same gene sequence, loci, chromosomal size, and centromere location is referred to as a homologous chromosome.

One paternal and one maternal chromosome make up a homologous pair. In humans, the nucleus of a somatic cell contains 46 chromosomes.

Homologous chromosomes differ from sister chromatids because they are not identical and do not emanates from the same organism.

Sister chromatids are identical, side-by-side duplicates of each other that form as a result of DNA replication.

Homologous chromosomes do not pair together during mitosis. Homologous chromosomes line up end-to-end in mitosis so that when the cells divide, each daughter cell receives a sister chromatid from both members of the homologous pair.

Thus, the correct option is A.

Using a dam as a source of freshwater can harm wildlife by displacing existing habitats. Therefore, option (C) is correct.

What are the negative impacts of dams?

Dams often require the creation of reservoirs, which can submerge large areas of land and alter the natural flow of rivers and streams. This can lead to the loss of important habitats for fish, mammals, and other wildlife that rely on rivers and streams for food, shelter, and reproduction.

In addition, changes in water temperature, dissolved oxygen levels, and water flow can negatively impact aquatic ecosystems downstream from the dam.

These impacts can be mitigated through careful planning and management, such as the creation of fish ladders and other structures to help fish navigate past the dam, and the release of water at appropriate times to mimic natural flow patterns.

Rachel scooped him up, put a slip lead on him, and decided to try to figure out where he lived, although she knew this meant she would be up late finishing her homework. She let her mother know shed be out for a while and set off. When she was six blocks away from her house, she heard a feeble voice calling out.
