With distilled spirits (such as bourbon, scotch, vodka, gin, and rum), alcohol content is expressed in terms of proof. For example, 100-proof gin is 50 percent alcohol.

'Proof' is directly two times the alcohol by volume or ABV (measured as a percentage).

The term 'proof' originated from England, where the government used to impose a greater tax on liquor having a greater quantity of alcohol. Alcohol content was decided by means of a quite primitive test.

Primarily, the government would rinse a gun pellet with alcohol and seek to ignite the gunpowder. If it was ignited, the alcohol content in the liquor was considered high enough to be judged to be a 'proof' spirit, in the sense that there was proof which indicated that it had a greater quantity of alcohol.

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Levothyroxine is a thyroid hormone used to treat hypothyroidism. Administration in the morning is preferred to prevent insomnia.

Explanation:

Levothyroxine is generally recommended for patients with thyroid problems. When a patient needs to take this medicine, it is important that they follow certain recommendations: It is important that levothyroxine is taken every day, preferably at the same time, avoiding long delays or forgetfulness. Another important caution is that levothyroxine should be taken fasting, because its absorption depends on the acidity of our stomach, so it is recommended that it be taken in the morning, soon after the patient has wakes up.

You sampled 1000 individuals from a population of mosquitoes to test whether they are in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium for a gene D
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

The population is not following the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Explanation:

Hardy-Weinberg  proposed that the population will remain in the equilibrium if they are not affected with the external natural force like genetic drift, mutation and many others. The gene pool of a population will remain in equilibrium state for generations.

The mathematical expression for the Hardy-Weinberg are

Genotypic frequency is p²+q²+2pq=1

Allele frequency is p+q=1

where p-dominant allele,

q-recessive allele

Therefore,calculating expected frequency of allele q,

q² (recessive genotype)-  q²+2pq/1000

= 22+188/1000

=210/1000

= 0.21

q= 0.45

Calculating expected frequency of allele p,

Using p+q=1

p=1-q

p= 0.55 (expected)

Calculating observed value of frequency of p,

p²= p²+2pq/1000

= 790+188/1000

= 978/1000

= 0.978

p = 0.988 (observed)

Since the expected frequency does not match the observed frequency therefore the population is not under the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and the gene pool is disturbed.
