Answer:
If you want to be precise, every measurement should include a tolerance, such as 15.5 +/- 0.1 cm. This way, when you do the calculations, you can figure out the uncertainty in the final result
Explanation:
Answer:
(a) Frequency of M = 0.64
Frequency of N = 0.04
Frequency of MN= 0.32
(b) Expected frequencies of M = 0.648
Expected frequencies of MN = 0.304
Expected frequencies of N = 0.048
Explanation:
(a) If random mating takes place in the population, then the expected frequencies are
f(L(M)) = p = 0.8
F(L(N)) = q
q= 1 - p
= 1 - 0.8
= 0.2
Frequency of M = p^2 = ( 0.8)^2 = 0.64
Frequency of N = q^2 = (1-p)^2 = (1 - 0.8)^2 = (0.2)^2 = 0.04
Frequency of MN = 2pq = 2 * 0.8 * 0.2 = 0.32
(b)
F = inbreeding coefficient = 0.05
f(L(M)L(M)) = p^2 + Fpq = (0.8)^2 + 0.05 * 0.8 * 0.2 = 0.648
f(L(M)L(N)) = 2 pq - 2Fpq = 2 * 0.8 * 0.2 - ( 2 * 0.05 * 0.8 * 0.2) = 0.304
f(L(N)L(N)) = q^2 + Fpq = (0.2)^2 + ( 0.05 * 0.8 * 0.2) = 0.048
