The frequency of homozygous dominant individuals is: 42%

Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) is a null model of the relationship between allele and genotype frequencies, both within and between generations, assuming no mutation, no migration, no selection, random mating, and infinite population size. To find the frequency of the recessive allele, we must first find the frequency of the dominant allele (p). According to the Hardy-Weinberg principle, the square root of the homozygous genotype frequency is equal to the allele frequency. The Hardy-Weinberg equation used to determine genotype frequencies is: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1. Where 'p2' represents the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype (AA), '2pq' the frequency of the heterozygous genotype (Aa) and 'q2' the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype (aa).

Calculation:

q2 = 49

q= 0.7

According to Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium p + q= 1

p = 1 - q

1-0.7= 0.3

p2+ 2pq+q2=1

One can substitute the values

2pq= 2(0.3) (0.7) = 0.42

42%  is the answer.

How are 96% human dna found in gorilla dna?
hram777 [196]
that is because other than religious beliefs this is called evolution where we came from other animals such as gorillas and that's why gorillas are so smart. so early back when we j had the big bang there was nothing other than God and God has the right to make the animals and then once the animals kept growing and keep breeding and keep and repopulating they just kept growing over time and once there is a span of gorillas we came from the grill is because the grill as kept on breeding and we came to be

What would happen if u place a cell in a container of water with high solute concentration?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Large quantities of water molecules constantly move across cell membranes by simple diffusion, often facilitated by movement through membrane proteins, including aquaporins. In general, net movement of water into or out of cells is negligible. For example, it has been estimated that an amount of water equivalent to roughly 100 times the volume of the cell diffuses across the red blood cell membrane every second; the cell doesn't lose or gain water because equal amounts go in and out. There are, however, many cases in which net flow of water occurs across cell membranes and sheets of cells. An example of great importance to you is the secretion of and absorption of water in your small intestine. In such situations, water still moves across membranes by simple diffusion, but the process is important enough to warrant a distinct name - osmosis.

The following events are part of endochondral ossification. In which order do they occur?
devlian [24]

The order is calcification of matrix  >> cells differentiate into osteoblasts >> formation of the primary ossification >>  osteoclasts break down the spongy bone >> formation of the secondary ossification (5,3,1,2,4). It is a fundamental process.

<h3>What are osteoblasts?</h3>

Osteoblasts are cells of the bones, which act to generate bone matrix and modulate the process of mineralization of the skeleton.

Endochondral ossification refers to the mechanism through which the cartilaginous bones generate longitudinal growth.

This mechanism (endochondral ossification) is fundamental during fetal/embryo development.

What type of cross produces a 1:1:1:1 phenotypic ratio?
ser-zykov [4K]
Cross between "Homozygous Dominant" & "Homozygous recessive" would result in offspring of phenotype 1:1:1:1. When linkage is not occurs!

Hope this helps! It's quite complicated. So, Pm me in case of doubt!
Happy Studying :)
