determined by balancing selection‚ which is the selective process of allele’s frequencies remaining in a gene pool longer than expected due to genetic drift. The sickle cell mutation provides resistance to malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa and appears in high allele frequencies in these population. However‚ areas that are least likely exposed to malaria sickle cell trait would be devastating because it does not provide any benefits. The population who had earlier exposure to diseases lead to genes that gained

occurring - Under Mendel’s model‚ the two alleles can be represented by... p + q = 1 (100% of the alleles in the population) where p is the dominant allele and q is the recessive allele - The genotypes can be represented by the equation (p+q)² = p² + 2pq + q² = 1 (100% of the genotypes in a population) where p² is homozygous dominant‚ 2pq is heterozygous and q² is homozygous recessive • FACTORS AFFECTING HARDY- WEINBERG: 1.

consecutive patients with RA ascertained without regard to family history or known risk factors. Included in the analyses were first-degree relatives from 135 simplex and 30 multiplex families. A highly penetrate recessive major gene‚ with a mutant allele frequency of 0.005‚ was identified as the most parsimonious genetic risk factor. Significant evidence for heterogeneity in risk for RA was observed for proband gender but not for proband age at onset. Kaplan-Meier risk analysis demonstrated significant

Essay 4: explain what is meant by the term species. How might a single species become two separate species? A species is a group of similar organisms that can breed together to produce fertile offspring. A species is a basic unit of classification. Members of singles species have certain things in common. Firstly they are similar to one another but different from members of other species. They have similar genes and therefore closely resemble one another physically and biochemically. They
Premium Species Evolution
evolution is a change in the traits of living organisms over generations‚ including the emergence of new species. Since the development of modern genetics in the 1940s‚ evolution has been defined more specifically as a change in the frequency of alleles in a population from one generation to the next. Darwin ’s theory of evolution describes the descent of all living organisms from a common ancestor. Natural Selection is the principal mechanism that causes evolution. In common parlance the word "evolution"

ABSTRACT Morphologically similar plants that are sometimes used as adulterants / substitutes for the prescribed drug usually causes reduced efficacy of plant based medicines / drug formulations. To minimize this problem‚ genotype specific DNA markers need to be developed. Remaining unchanged through short term variations in environment at different locations‚ and also through different phase of life cycle‚ DNA fingerprinting patterns constitute dependable DNA markers for ultimate individualization

Why are Living Organism so Diverse ? Regardless of world’s life diversity‚ we all‚ from the ant to the whale and us humans have DNA linkage‚ which gives us the evidence for one common ancestor. The question that comes up now is how from this very primitive common ancestor did we all end up so diverse. Biologist have dedicated they life to answer this question‚ Through this essay I shall show how through different aspects life has become so diverse. Timescale Life as not evolve suddenly from its

body’s instruction manual for making who you are. DNA is present in any living being. You receive one -half of your DNA from your money and one-half from you Father. People with light eyes tend to carry recessive alleles of the major gene and people with dark eyes tend to carry the dominant alleles. Genes are located on rodlike structures called chromosomes that are found in the nucleus of every cell in the body. Each gene is assigned a specific position on a chromosome as genes provide the instructions

Sex determination in plants Summary- Evolutionary transitions happened gradually from hermaphroditism to monoec in which multiple sex determining genes are involved which include male-sterility and female-sterility factors. There should not be any recombination between different loci which is the pivotal reason for the genetic degeneration of Y chromosomes. There are several theories attached to Y chromosome degeneration that are reviewed recently . Introduction: why are plant sex chromosomes
