Suppose the human trait for freckles is controlled by a simple dominant and recessive relationship at one locus. Freckles, F, is

the dominant allele, and a lack of freckles, f, is the recessive allele. In a college genetics class, the professor takes a tally of students who have freckles and of students with a lack of freckles. In this class of 123 students, 98 have freckles. Calculate the frequency of the dominant allele, F, and the heterozygous genotype Ff. Express the frequencies in decimal form rounded to the nearest thousandth. Assume the class is in hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for this trait.

Answer:

0.549 is the frequency of the F allele.

0.495 is the frequency of the Ff genotype.

Explanation:

<em>FF </em>or <em>Ff</em> genotypes determine freckles, <em>ff</em> determines lack of freckels.

In this class of 123 students, 98 have freckles (and 123-98= 25 do not).

If the class is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for this trait, then the genotypic frequency of the ff genotype is:

q²= 25/123

q²=0.203

q= \sqrt{0.2

q= 0.451

<em>q </em>is the frequency of the recessive f allele.

Given <em>p</em> the frequency of the dominant F allele, we know that:

p+q=1, therefore p=1-q

p=0.549 is the frequency of the F allele.

The frequency of the Ff genotype is 2pq. Therefore:

2pq=2×0.549×0.451

2pq=0.495 is the frequency of the Ff genotype.

Your Mother needs to transfer (i.e., encode) a list of 25 vocabulary words from her STM to her LTM. She asks for your help. You
-Dominant- [34]

The best technique for your mother is that she uses each word in a sentence to give it a meaning, and remember it better (option 2).

Elaborative rehearsal is a common technique used to remember information in a long-term way. Due to this, this technique can be used to move information from short-term memory to long-term memory.

In this technique, the main purpose is to associate the new information with something you already know. In learning new words, this can include:

  • Associating new words to images.
  • Creating examples of sentences.
  • Associating a new word to a synonym you already know.

In this context, the technique that is part of elaborative rehearsal is using the word in a sentence (option 2).
