Some given statements about anti freezing are given;
a.some invertebrates to withstand temperatures as low as –18°C without freezing, in presence of glycoproteins
b.Sodium, potassium, or chloride ions involve to increasing  the blood freezing point, so the lack of these ions some species help to lower the blood freezing point
c.Amphibians release large amount of glucose into the blood to prevent freezing of blood in cold
d.Sodium, potassium or urea function as anti freezing in their blood
e.Glycine causes supercooling in plants
Which of the following statements about supercooling/anti freezing is correct?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

In humans, albinism (unpigmented skin, hair, and eyes) is due to an enzymatic deficiency, and it is an autosomal recessive trait. Suppose that in a small country of one million people (“Generation 1”), there are 500 aa albinos and 9000 Aa heterozygous carriers. Has the frequency of allele a changed between Generations 1 and 2?

In humans, albinism (unpigmented skin, hair, and eyes) is due to an enzymatic deficiency, and it is an autosomal recessive trait. Suppose that in a small country of one million people (“Generation 1”), there are 500 aa albinos and 9000 Aa heterozygous carries. If the Generation 1 follow the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
a) then the number of homozygous aa albino individuals would be equal to P2
b) there were 500 albino individuals in generation one.
c) then the number of homozygous aa albino individuals would be equal to q2
d) there were 25 albino individuals in generation one.
Which of the following is the correct prediction about the hardy-weingburg equilibrium?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

The interaction of selection and inbreeding in determining the incidence of autosomal recessive diseases. Consider a gene in which recessive mutations occur at a rate of 10-5. Assume a selective disadvantage S of 0.4 in homozygotes for the recessive allele. What is the frequency of the recessive allele (q). And calculate the incidence of the disease. Assume random mating.

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

The interaction of selection and inbreeding in determining the incidence of autosomal recessive diseases. Consider a gene in which recessive mutations occur at a rate of 10-5. Assume a selective disadvantage S of 0.4 in homozygotes for the recessive allele. Now assume that, for thousands of generations, 10% of all children have been products of first-cousin matings (the remaining 90% being products of random matings). Calculate the steady-state value of q. Also calculate the incidence of the disease at steady state.
