Answer: B. 0.77
Explanation:
We should note that from the Hardy-Weinberg law, the formula used is:
p²+ 2pq+ q² = 1
From the information given,
p = purple allele
q = red allele
q² = 59/100 = 0.59
Then, the frequency of the red allele that is recessive will be:
q² = 0.59
q= √0.59
q = 0.768.
q = 0.77
Therefore, the correct option is B.
Answer:
c. Giraffes that stretch their necks more than other giraffes will have babies with longer necks.
Explanation:
Giraffes that stretch their necks will not have babies with longer necks. A trait only shows in next generation if it is genetically inherited i.e. the gametes carry the trait to the next generation.
When giraffes stretch their necks, they are modifying their actions in their life time which will have no effect on the gametes. Hence, this trait wont be passed to the next generation and babies will not have longer necks.
No is not The xy chromesomes may have stronger or even genes therefore the child has a mixture of hair .the roots may be straight but the ends may be curly
