0.44  the frequency of the homozygous individuals in this population.

What is Hardy-Weinberg principle ?

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a principle stating that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next in the absence of disturbing factors.

From the Hardy Weinberg Law of Population and Genetics,

We have

x²+2xy+y²=1 and

x+y=1

where

x = frequency of the dominant allele in the population

y = frequency of the recessive allele in the population

x2 = percentage of homozygous dominant individuals

y2 = percentage of homozygous recessive individuals

2xy = percentage of heterozygous individuals

Given 2xy = 0.56

from here, y=0.28/x, (the frequency of the recessive allele ) can be obtained

we need to find 'x'

recall, x+y=1, x=1-y

substituting this gives us

y=0.28/(1-y), which becomes,

y(1-y)=0.28

y²- y + 0.28 (quadratic equation)

Solving this to find 'y' gives two imaginary values of y = 0.44 but ,

There is no imaginary solution  .

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

meiosis_

fertilization

mitosis

zygote

Explanation:

In life cycles that alternate between haploid and diploid stages, ____meiosis_ acts to reduce the number of chromosomes per cell from two sets to one set. In life cycles that alternate between haploid and diploid stages, ___fertilization__ acts to double the number of chromosome per cell from one set to two sets. In life cycles that alternate between haploid and diploid stages, ______mitosis______ acts to keep the number of chromosomes per cell the same. In animals, a single diploid cell called a ____zygote________ divides by mitosis to give rise to all the cells of the adult body.
