An elderly patient complains of muscle weakness and lethargy. A urine specimen reveals a Na+ concentration of 600 mmol/L and an osmolarity of 1200 mOsm/L. Additional laboratory tests provide the following information: plasma Na+ concentration = 167 mmol/L, plasma renin activity = 4 ng angiotensin I/ml/hr (normal = 1), plasma antidiuretic hormone (ADH) = 60 pg/ml (normal = 3 pg/ml), and plasma aldosterone = 15 ng/dL (normal = 6 ng/dL). Which of the following is the most likely reason for this patient’s hypernatremia?

if the forward ( p in to q) and reverse ( q in to p) mutation rates for alleles at a locus are 1×10−1 and 1×10−2 per generation, respectively and the allelic frequencies are p = 0.20 and q = 0.80. if you assuming random matting population. Which of the following observation correct?

Natural selection continually operates on each species to keep up with improvements made by competing species; each species’ environment deteriorates as its competitors evolve new adaptations. This is known as

 In a human population, the gene frequencies of the alleles for the ABO system are as follows:

A = 29%                         B = 7%                                    0=64%

Migration causes changes in the allelic frequency of a population by introducing alleles from other populations. The magnitude of change due to migration depends on
