If there is a population of 100 birds and the allele for green (G) is dominant to the allele for blue (g), what would be the frequency of G an g alleles in a population of 70 green birds and 30 blue birds? (Hint- p +q=1 and start with q2)

54.7% g, 45.2% G

Explanation:

p2=GG

pq=Gg

q2=gg=30%

q=sqrt(q2)

p=1-q

parasites can detrimentally affect their host, but also must not allow their host to die before they can complete their life cycle. some parasites have complex life cycles with many different hosts, and have had to find ways of persisting in many different environments during the change from one host to another. ectoparasites live outside the body of the host, and can more easily  disperse, but are  more exposed to predators, parasites, parasitoids. endoparasites live inside the body of the host, and are therefore protected from the outside environment. but they can be  attacked by the host's immune system. they have therefore developed  mechanisms for dispersal such as  complex life cycles.

a motor homunculus represents a map of brain areas dedicated to motor processing for different anatomical divisions of the body.

homunculus represents the importance of various parts of your body as seen by your brain. as a result, they take up a lot of brain space. although the cortical homunculus is a curiosity, penfield's work in mapping the brain's relationship to the body was invaluable.
