A population of 20,000 individuals is surveyed and found to be composed of 9,800 individuals with blond hair and 10,200 with brown hair. The allele for blond hair "b" is recessive to the allele for brown hair "B". Assuming Hardy-Weinberg conditions, the frequency of the Bb genotype in the population is 42%.

<h3>What is Hardy Weinberg equilibrium?</h3>

Hardy Weinberg law states that,

“In a large, random-mating population, the genotype and allele frequencies remain constant in the absence of any evolutionary influences from one to another generation. Influences are inclusive of a choice of mate, natural selection, genetic drift, mutation, sexual selection, gene flow, genetic hitchhiking, founder effect, meiotic drive, population bottleneck, inbreeding and assortative mating.”

Application of Hardy Weinberg equilibrium,

  • The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium provides a mathematical criterion of a population that is non-evolving which can be compared to evolving populations.
  • The law offers a prototype which is typically used as a point of origination to study the population genetics of diploid entities, which fulfil the fundamental assumption of random mating, large population, no mutation, migration or selection.
  • Allele frequencies can be detected in the presence of complete dominance when Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium prevails wherein it is not possible to differentiate between two genotypes.

Answer: The daughter cells develop after the cell division will have unequal number of chromosomes.

Explanation:

The interphase is the stage of the cell cycle in which the parent cell prepares itself for division. It increases in size and develops organelles for cell division. Before the cell division the replication of the genetic material in the form of DNA is necessary so that both daughter cells receive equal amount of genetic material after the cell splits by mitosis. Mitosis is a cell division in which the parent diploid cell splits into two haploid daughter cells. Each daughter cell receives the half the chromosomes as that of the parent cell.

The number of times per week that exercise is performed is known as ________. Intensity frequency regularity time
Kruka [31]

The number of times per week that exercise is performed is known as frequency.

Exercise frequency answers the question how many times you workout per week total. This includes weight training workouts, cardio workouts.This is value that can vary depends on many factors specific to individual (age, weight, condition). Because of this, it’s impossible to say exactly how often(how many times) everyone should be working out per week total.
