One of the buffers that contribute to pH stability in human blood is carbonic acid (H2CO3). Carbonic acid is a weak acid that, when placed in an aqueous solution, dissociates into a bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) and a hydrogen ion (H+). (See figure.)

If the pH of blood drops, one would expect ________.

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?

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

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

Assuming complete random mating and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,

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
