A deleterious recessive allele is one that can be harmful when it is found in its homgous condition, resulting in a poorly fit phenotype. An example of this is the allelefor sickle cell, which results in the condition known as sickle cell anemia when both recessive alleles are inherited. owever, in regions of Afriche proportion of the sickle cell allele is igher than expected, with as much as 15% of the alleles in the population being the recessive, deleteriou rsion. In the African population, there is also a high prevalence of malaria, a disease caused by the parasitic infestation of a plasmodium protozoan in the blood of humans. The recessive allele for sickle cell has been maintained over many generations. Evaluate the graph above and select the claim that supports the high frequency of the recessive allele in these African populations.
A)There is a selective advantage to the aa genotype, as the presence of sickle cell provides a greater fitness in an environment where malaria is common.
B)There is a selective pressure against the aa genotype, but the presence of malaria induces new mutations which generates more alleles within the population.
C)There is directional selection towards the Aa genotype, since aa is often a lethal condition. Non-random mating tends to maintain the recessive allele in the population.
D)There is a selective advantage to the heterozygous (Aa) condition as there is selective pressure against both the AA and aa genotypes. This maintains the recessive allele in the population.
Answer:
D) There is a selective advantage to the heterozygous (Aa) condition as there is selective pressure against both the AA and aa genotypes. This maintains the recessive allele in the population.
Explanation:
Since the AA condition is more likely to be affected by malaria and the aa condition is more likely to not survive the sickle cell condition, the heterozygote here has the advantage.
The high frequency should be considered the D) There is a selective advantage to the heterozygous (Aa) condition.
Evaluation of the graph;Since the AA condition should be impacted by the malaria and the aa condition should not able to survive the cell condition i.e. sickle.
At the same time, the heterozygote has the advantage.
Also, there is the selective pressure that oppose to the AA and aa genetypes.
Hence, the option d is correct.

Growth
Reproduction
reason:
Life process
Explanation
Earthworms
Movement
All living things move in some way. This may be obvious, such as animals that are able to walk, or less obvious, such as plants that have parts that move to track the movement of the sun.
Earthworms use circular and longitudinal muscles to move through soil or along surfaces.
Respiration
Respiration is a chemical reaction that happens within cells to release energy from food.
The food that earthworms eat supplies their body with energy-rich molecules such as glucose. On entering the cells of their body, these molecules are broken down in a series of steps to release energy to be used by the body, producing carbon dioxide and water as waste products.
Sensitivity
The ability to detect changes in the surrounding environment.
Earthworms have light-sensitive cells scattered in their outer skin. Their skin cells are also sensitive to touch and chemicals.
Growth
All living things grow.
Earthworms hatch from eggs and can grow up to a metre or more in length! Some earthworms are also able to regrow small parts of their body that have been lost or injured.
Reproduction
The ability to reproduce and pass genetic information onto their offspring.
Earthworms have both sperm and eggs within their bodies (they are hermaphrodites) but they cannot self-fertilise and need to mate with another individual. After mating, a cocoon containing the fertilised eggs is deposited in the soil.
Excretion
Getting rid of waste.
Earthworms excrete waste from their anus – the last segment of their body.
Nutrition
The intake and use of nutrients. This occurs in very different ways in different kinds of living things.
Earthworm nutrition comes from a variety of sources, depending on their species. Food types include manure, compost, plant material, fungi, microorganisms and decaying animals. They take in food through their mouths.
How did diffusion of the perfume change with an increase of concentration
Answer:
Explanation:
Diffusion is trigger by concentration differences.
When perfume is sprayed in the room, the molecules of the perform come in contact with the air molecules and tend to mix well with air molecules, this molecules then spread and move from area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. Because the molecules are in constant motion, they move to area where there is high concentration.
As atmospheric CO2 increases, the amount of CO2 dissolved in seawater is expected to increase as well. This produces more carbonic acid, which then dissociates into hydrogen ions and something else.
Answer:
bicarbonate ions
Explanation: (HCO3-)

~They prevent toxic substances from reaching the brain.
~They process information going into the neuron
~They eliminate foreign substances inside neurons.
~They provide insulation for axons.
Answer:
~They process information going into the neuron
Explanation:
This is because Glia or neuroglia cells are cells found in the central nervous system that is brain and spinal cord and they did not transmit electrical impulses. Glia cells don't carry information because they don't carry electrical impulses. The cells include epipdymal cells,Schwann cells e.t.c.
They perform four major function and they include; They provide support and supply nutrients and oxygen to the cells,it prevent toxic or foreign substances from entering the neurons,they provide insulation for axons.

Answer:
review all proposals for animal research to be sure the procedures to be used are appropriate and humane.
Explanation:
The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) is a federal committee responsible for approving and/or prohibiting the use of animal (nonhuman vertebrate) subjects for research, testing and teaching purposes, as well as the inspection of animal facilities. IACUC evaluates the institution's animal programs and procedures as described by the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW). This committee has the task to verify animal's well-being by minimizing pain and distress (for example, by ensuring the use of non-invasive methods when possible). Researchers/educators that use animals for research/teaching purposes must previously submit a written request defined by the IACUC's guidelines.

Explanation:
Dr. Nachman and his colleagues collected rock pocket mice across 35 kilometers of the Arizona Sonoran Desert, which included both dark, rocky lava outcrops and light, rocky, granite areas. They recorded substrate color, and coat-color frequencies for each location. Each site was separated from any of the others by at least eight kilometers. The researchers trapped a total of 275 mice. Their data are summarized below (numbers have been slightly modified for the purposes of this worksheet).
(numbers have been slightly modified for the purposes of this worksheet).
Field Data Summary
Collecting Site Substrate Color Number of Mice Phenotype
Light Dark
1 Dark 22 3 19
2 Light 80 74 6
3 Light 22 19 3
4 Dark 28 3 25
5 Light 58 25 33
6 Dark 65 9 56
1. Calculate the overall frequencies of light-colored mice and dark-colored mice caught on light-colored substrates.
2. Calculate the overall frequencies of light-colored mice and dark-colored mice caught on dark-colored substrates.
3.Using the Hardy-Weinberg equation and data from the table above, determine the frequency of the three genotypes on the light, rocky, granite substrate.
4. Using the Hardy-Weinberg equation and data from the table above, determine the frequency of the three genotypes on the dark, rocky lava substrate.
5. Which fur color seems to have the greatest overall selective advantage?
6.What environmental change gave a selective advantage for one coat color over another?
7. In a separate study, 76 rock pocket mice were collected from four different, widely separated areas of dark lava rock. One collecting site was in Arizona. The other three were in New Mexico. Dr. Nachman and colleagues observed no significant differences in the color of the rocks in the four locations sampled. However, the dark-colored mice from the three New Mexico locations were slightly darker than the dark-colored mice from the Arizona population. The entire Mc1r gene was sequenced in all 76 of the mice collected. The mutations responsible for the dark fur color in the Arizona mice were absent from the three different populations of New Mexico mice. No Mc1r mutations were associated with dark fur color in the New Mexico populations. These findings suggest that adaptive dark coloration has occurred at least twice in the rock pocket mouse and that these similar phenotypic changes have different genetic bases. How does this study support the concept that natural selection is not random?
8. To determine if the rock pocket mouse population is evolving, explain why it is necessary to collect fur color frequency data over a period of many years.
Answer:
1)
frequencies of light-colored mice ≅ 0.74frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.262)
frequencies of light-colored mice ≅ 0.13frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.873)
q² = 0.74p² = 0.02 2pq = 0.244)
q² = 0.13p² = 0.42pq = 0.465)
The dark-colored fur seems to have the greatest overall selective advantage
6)
Dark lava, that changed the color of the substrate, from light to dark.
7)
Because to produce dark color, animals from the different regions suffered different mutations that drove them to have almost the same dark fur color. All of the animals are inhabiting dark substrate, which means that this environmental condition is favoring the same phenotype.
8)
To see if the mice population is evolving, you need to take a sample of animals per year, through many years, and analyze if it is changing or not. If the population is evolving, you will notice a change in the allelic and genotypic frequencies over the years, favoring one genotype or the other. If the population is not evolving, the frequencies will keep equal through the years, it will not change.

increasing intracellular cAMP leads to smooth muscle relaxation by: Group of answer choices inhibiting IP3 channels, leading to decreased Ca2 in the sarcoplasm and reduced contraction. Increasing the relative activity of MLCP, leading to a decrease in tension. Activating K channels, increasing K leaking out of the cell which hyperpolarizes it and decreases the likelihood of Ca2 entry. Lower levels of MLCK activity, leading to decreased contraction.
Answer:
1. Inhibiting IP3 channels, leading to decreased Ca2 in the sarcoplasm and reduced contraction.
2. Increasing the relative activity of MLCP, leading to a decrease in tension.
3. Activating K channels, increasing K leaking out of the cell which hyperpolarizes it and decreases the likelihood of Ca2 entry.
Explanation
In smooth muscle, cyclic AMP (cAMP) mediates relaxation because cAMP inhibits a specific kinase required for myosin light chain protein (MLCP) phosphorylation, thereby triggering contraction in the smooth muscles. It has been shown that cAMP inhibits 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-dependent calcium ions (Ca 2+) release by activation of the cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG). PKG proteins act to modulate Ca2+ oscillations by stimulating sarcoplasmic Ca2+-ATPase membrane proteins, increasing Ca2+ in the sarcoplasmic reticulum stores and Ca2+ efflux from the cells, and activate voltage-gated potassium (K) channels, thereby leading to membrane hyperpolarization and reducing Ca2+ entry through Ca2+ channels.
