In a certain population of rabbits, the allele for brown fur is dominant over the allele for white fur. If 20 out of 100 rabbits

have white fur, what is the allele frequency for the recessive allele? The Hardy-Weinberg equation is: [homozygous dominant]2 + 2[heterozygous] + [homozygous recessive]2 = 1

I believe it gives you the answer. It should be one fifth or 20%. #TeamAlvaxic

The Hardy-Weinberg equation is

p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 and p + q = 1

p = frequency of the dominant allele in the population

q = frequency of the recessive allele in the population

p2 = percentage of homozygous dominant individuals

q2 = percentage of homozygous recessive individuals

2pq = percentage of heterozygous individuals

Here in this question, 20 out of 100 rabbits have white fur which means that the % of homozygous recessive individuals is  

= 20/100 = 0.2

q2 = percentage of homozygous recessive individuals = 0.2

q = square root of 0.2

q = 0.44 = frequency of the recessive allele in the population = 44%

If a meal supplies 110 g of carbohydrates, 25 g of protein, 20 g of fat, and the equivalent of 5 g of alcohol, what % of the kca
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

0.058 % kcalories comes from carbohydrate.

Explanation:

1 g of carbohydrtes gives 4 calories, 1 g of protein gives 4 kcalories, 1 gm of fat gives 9 calories and 1 g of alcohol gives 7 calories of energy.

Thus in a meal  that contains 110 g carbohydrates gives 110 x 4 = 440 calories,  25 g protein gives 25 x 4 = 100 calories, 20 g fat gives 20 x 9 = 180 calories and 5 g alcohol gives 5 x 7 =  35 calories.

Total calories in a meal  440+100+180+35 = 755.

Therefore % of carbogydrate will be 440x 100 divided by 755 = 58.27 %

In kcalories % would be 58.27/1000 = 0.5827 %
