A student proposes that left-handedness is a recessive trait and is hidden in much of the human population. a survey of his clas

s of 36 students finds that 9 students are left-handed. using the hardy-weinberg formula, what would be the expected allelic and genotypic frequencies in this theoretical population

The frequency of the recessive allele for the left handle will be in this case equal to q^2 = 0.25 >> q = 0.5.

<h3>What is the Hardy Weinberg principle?</h3>

The Hardy Weinberg principle is a model used in population genetics to estimate genotypic and allele frequencies.

The Hardy Weinberg principle states that the sum of the dominant allele and the recessive allele in a population is equal to 1 (p + q = 1).

This principle also states p2 + q2 + 2pq = 1, where p^2 is the dominant homo-zygous allele, 2pq the heterozygous frequency and  q^2 the recessive homo-zygous frequency.

In this case, 9 individuals represent 25% (q^2 = 0.25), thereby the feecuency of q is equal to √0.25 = 0.5.

Interneurons are those neurons that transduces the vague information received from the afferent neurons and sends a response to the efferent neurons. 

Neurons are the basic unit of the nervous system. Hence, these nerve cells are the cells that transmits electrical impulses that causes a person to respond, move and irritable (respond to stimuli).
