Following the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium theory, the frequency of the heter0zyg0us genotype is 2pq. In the exposed example, 2pq = 0.48.

<h3>Hardy-Winberg equilibrium</h3>

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium theory states that the allelic frequencies in a locus are represented as p and q.

Assuming a diallelic gene,

→  The allelic frequencies are

  • p is the frequency of the dominant allele,
  • q is the frequency of the recessive allele.

→  The genotypic frequencies after one generation are

  • p² (H0m0zyg0us dominant genotypic frequency),
  • 2pq (Heter0zyg0us genotypic frequency),
  • q² (H0m0zyg0us recessive genotypic frequency).

If a population is in H-W equilibrium, it gets the same allelic and genotypic frequencies generation after generation.

The addition of the allelic frequencies equals 1  ⇒ p + q = 1.

The sum of genotypic frequencies equals 1 ⇒ p² + 2pq + q² = 1

If the allele A has a frequency of 0.6, and the allele B has a frequency of 0.4, then the frequency of the heter0zyg0us genotype is

2pq = 2 x 0.6 x 0.4 =<u> 0.48</u>

The transfer of energy between trophic levels averages about what percent?
Lady bird [3.3K]
During the transfer of energy from one tropic level to the next tropic level around 90% of the total energy is lost in the metabolic processes in the form of heat. Hence only about 10% of the total energy can only be transferred from one tropic level to the next tropic level.

1. Which of the following is NOT part of John Dalton's atomic theory? (1 point)
valentina_108 [34]
For the first question the answer is C. We know this because Dalton considered matter to be composed of very tiny indivisible particles called atoms which means it can't be further subdivided and thus no sub-atomic particles. And for the second question the answer is the Last one: <span>Ernest Rutherford. The rest of them did not give evidence of the existence of a nucleus or gave poor evidence. Hope this helps</span>
