At the end of the term, the professor locks the students in the classroom with plenty of food and water and leaves them there for 200 years, during which time they undergo 10 rounds of random mating with no selection, mutation or genetic drift. 31a. what is the frequency of the aallele in the population at the end of the 200 years? b. what is the frequency of the aallele at the end of the 200 years? c. is the population at hardy-weinberg equilibrium at the end of the 200 years? d. at the end of the 200 years, the professorʼs granddaughter examines the genotype of the 1000 people drawn at random from the population. how many sleepyheads should she find, on average (your answer should be a number between 0 and 1000)?

a. 0.7

b. 0.3

c. Yes

d. 90

Explanation:

As the random mating population was escaped from external evolutionary forces such as mutation, natural selection, and migration, the gene frequency will not change over time. The population will be at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium throughout the time.

As the number of sleepyheads (recessive trait) was 90 out of class of 1000 students at the start of course.

q²=0.09 ∵ fraction of sleepyheads = 90/1000 = 0.09 denoted by q²

q that is the recessive gene frequency will be equal to 0.3 (by taking square root of P²

Hence, allele frequency of a allele is 0.3

As, frequency of dominant allele A is denoted by letter p and p+q=1

∴ p=0.7 As p=1-0.3

Hence, allele frequency of A allele is 0.7

Counting the probability of aa alleles (sleepyheads);

As a= 0.3

∴ aa= 0.3×0.3 = 0.09 (In terms of percentage, it is 9%)

To 0.09×1000= 90 or 9% of 1000 = 90

Hence, 90 students should be sleepyheads.

step 1 ammonium can be absorbed by plants, but some is converted into nitrates which are better for plants to absorb. this is called nitrification. 2. step 2 the deer eats the plants and uses the nitrogen-containing proteins for cell growth. 3. step 3 bacteria in the soil conduct nitrogen fixation to convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonium. 4. step 4 some of the nitrates are absorbed back into plants, but denitrification breaks down the nitrates into nitrogen gas released back into the atmosphere. 5. step 5 nitrogen is found in the urine, which gets broken down into ammonium through the process of ammonification. 6. step 6 plants absorb the ammonium and begin assimilation, the process to add the nitrogen to protein.

gold i'm pretty sure i might be wrong
