Figure 25.1.
Use the following information when answering the following question(s) .
Researchers studying a small milkweed population note that some plants produce a toxin and other plants do not.They identify the gene responsible for toxin production.The dominant allele (T) codes for an enzyme that makes the toxin,and the recessive allele (t) codes for a nonfunctional enzyme that cannot produce the toxin.Heterozygotes produce an intermediate amount of toxin.The genotypes of all individuals in the population are determined (see chart) and used to determine the actual allele frequencies in the population.
-Based on whether the population in Figure 25.1 is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,the researchers had already noted that negligible mutation and migration existed in this milkweed population,and the toxin does not affect the butterflies that pollinate these plants.Which of the following would be a logical conclusion about this milkweed population?
Dementia
A broad category of brain diseases that cause a long-term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember, affecting daily functioning.
Senescence
The process of aging where the body gradually deteriorates over time.
Chronic Conditions
Long-lasting diseases or health conditions that can be managed but not necessarily cured, often requiring ongoing medical attention or lifestyle adjustments.
Cholesterol Medicines
Medications used to lower or regulate cholesterol levels in the blood to prevent or manage heart disease.
