If we have the recessive genotypic frequency, we can calculate the phenotypic frequencies in a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The percentage is <u>82%</u>.

<h3>What si the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium theory?</h3>

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium theory states that allelic and genotypic frequencies remain the same through generations in a population that is in equilibrium.  

The allelic frequencies in a locus are represented as p and q. Assuming a diallelic gene,

Allelic frequencies

  • The frequency of the dominant allele f(X) is p
  • The frequency of the recessive allele f(x) is q

Genotypic frequencies after one generation are

• p² ⇒ H0m0zyg0us dominant genotypic frequency,

• 2pq ⇒ Heter0zyg0us genotypic frequency,

• q² ⇒ H0m0zyg0us recessive genotypic frequency.

The addition of the allelic frequencies equals 1

p + q = 1.

The sum of genotypic frequencies equals 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

<u>Available data</u>:

18% of individuals express the recessive trait of Syndactyly

Let us say that the dominant allele is A and the recessive allele is a.

  • The dominant allele A codes for normal finger.
  • The recessive allele a codes for webbed finger.

Assuming this gene expresses complete dominance,

  • H0m0zyg0us dominant and heter0zyg0us -AA and Aa- individuals have normal finger.

Their frequency in the population is p² + 2pq.

  • h0m0zyg0us recessive -aa- individuals have webbed finger.

Their frequency in the population is q².

Individuals that express Syndactyly have webbed finger and their genotype is h0m0zyg0us recessive, aa. Their frequency in the population is q².

q² = 18% = 0.18

We can get the frequency of individuals with normal fingers by clearing the following equation,

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

p² + 2pq + 0.18 = 1

p² + 2pq = 1 - 0.18

<u>p² + 2pq = 0.82</u>

<u />

The frequency of individuals with normal fingers is <u>p² + 2pq = 0.82 = 82%.</u>

<u />

The percentage of the population are not Webbed is <u>82%</u>.

Is a compound is a pure substance?<br> * I"m just wondering,
bija089 [108]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Compounds: are pure substances that are made up of more than l type of atom and can be broken down or decomposed into its individual elements by chemical methods, but cannot be separated by physical methods. The ratio of the elements in a compound are always constant. (Water is always 11 % Hydrogen and 89 % oxygen).

why do all organisms take in matter and rearrange atoms through chemical reactions to form molecules essential for life?
Tom [10]
Cause living things can not directly use most of matter which they found in nature. For example carbon, all organism use carbon in complex structure, that is in compound or macromolecule(glucose,fructose,amino acid). we can not directly earn ATP from C which we found in soil/other sources.
