If a population is in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, when is the number of heterozygotes at its most?

Answer:

B) when the frequency of dominant alleles is equal to the frequency of recessive alleles

Explanation:

The equation for Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium is:

p^{2} +2pq+q^{2};

where p=frequency of dominant alleles; q=frequency of recessive alleles and 2pq is the number of heterozygotes.

So, in order to maximize 2pq, p must be equal to q, and because p-q=1, we can conclude that 2pq max = 2*0.5*0.5=0.5 or 50%

A) when the frequency of dominant alleles is more than the frequency of recessive alleles: <em>Homozygous dominant will be prevalent</em>

C) when the frequency of dominant alleles is less than the frequency of recessive alleles: <em>Homozygous recessive will be prevalent</em>

I would go with the letter 
B- when the frequency of dominant alleles is equal to the frequency of recessive alleles.
Hope that this helps!!! :)

What product do all three reactions in Model 2 have in common?
belka [17]

Answer;

-They all provide water

Explanation;

In reaction A, the reactants are glucose and fructose , and the products are Sucrose and water. This is a condensation reaction, following the combination of two monosaccharides (glucose and fructose) forming a dissaccharide (sucrose) and water.

In reaction B, the reactants are two amino acids, that results to formation of a dipeptide and water; this is also a condensation reaction joining two amino acids monomers, to form a dipeptide and water.

-In reaction C, a monoglyceride combines with a fatty acid to form a diglyceride and water. This is also an example of a condensation reaction that results to formation of a diglyceride and water.

Therefore, the similarity of all the reactions is that they are all condensation reactions, with water as a common product.

Beaks in African black-bellied seedcracker finches are small or large, but not intermediate in size. This is an example of
alexdok [17]

Answer:

disruptive selection

Explanation:

Disruptive selection may be defined as a type of a natural selection which selects against some average individual in a given population. These makeup of such a type of the population shows the phenotypes of both the extremes of characteristics but they have very few individuals in the middle.

Disruptive selection is also known as diversifying selection.

In the given context, the beaks of an African seedcracker finches may be small or may be large but they are not of the intermediate size. Such a selection is known as disruptive selection in species.

Cell division and differentiation first begins during the ________ stage of prenatal development. psych
agasfer [191]

Cell division and differentiation first begins during the germinal stage of prenatal development.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The development of the zygote into a full developed fetus occurs in three most prominent stages they are the germinal stage that occurs from the conception to the second week.

The embryonic stage that is from second week to the eighth week and the fetal stage that is from the eighth week till the birth of the baby. Each stage has its characteristic development that has to be completed.

Evidence suggests that first, ____________ were acquired when an aerobic bacterium was engulfed by larger cells and became mutua
leonid [27]

Answer:

1. Mitochondria

2. Chloroplast

3. the formation of eukaryotic cells

4. DNA

Explanation:

The theory of endosymbiosis was proposed by the Lynn Margulis in 1967 which suggested that the eukaryotic organelles like the mitochondria and chloroplast evolved when another prokaryotic cell engulfed the prokaryotic bacteria.

The mitochondria were formed when the chemosynthetic bacteria were engulfed by the bacteria and the engulfed bacteria formed a symbiotic relationship. Similarly, the chloroplast was originated in the same way when the photosynthetic bacteria were engulfed by another prokaryote.

The evidence which supports their ar:

1. The same size of the organelles to the bacteria

2. The presence of the circular DNA of the organelles like bacteria  

3. The similarity in the 30s and 70s ribosomal subunits.
