What is PCR, and what is its purpose

Polymerase Chain reaction,

What is to amplify(make multiple copies of) target DNA in order to analyze and study.

What is Microevolution 

Microevolution is a generation to generation change in a population’s allele frequencies (disruption to genetic equilibrium).

A city was intensively sprayed with KNJ in 1983 in an effort to control mosquitoes. The number of pests were immediately reduced to 1/3 its population size. Each year thereafter the city would spray KNJ, but the mosquitos gradually increased in numbers until 5 years later they were almost as abundant as they were when the control program began. Explain the phenomena   

What is the type of Genetic Drift that occured was BottleNeck effect.

A good example of complex heredity is blood type.  because there are more than 2 alleles that can be present.  which type of dominance does this represent and give an example.

 What is Codominance & AB blood type?

Six species of human coronaviruses are known, with one species subdivided into two different strains, making seven strains of human coronaviruses altogether. What causes of microevolution are pushing the spread of this virus.

What is the natural selection of the Mutated variants.

You have sampled a population in which you know that the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (aa) is 36%. Using that 36%, calculate the following:

A =     a=       AA =     Aa =.   aa= 

what is 

A = 40%.   a = 60%.   AA = 16%  Aa = 48% aa = 36%
