B = 0.4

b = 0.6

Explanation:

From the question we derive that;

BB = 16%

Bb = 24%

The gene frequency for BB = 16/100 = 0.16

To find allelic frequency of B;

B = √0.16 = 0.4

Remember Hardy Weinberg rule that all allelic frequencies of a gene must sum up to 1;

p + q = 1

If p = 0.4

q = 1 – 0.4 = 0.6

b = 0.6

On a map with a scale of 1:126,720, a measured distance of 1 inch represents what distance in feet?
GrogVix [38]
126,720 feet.
Why?: For each inch on a map, it’s equal to 126,720 feet in reality. All maps are not drawn to scale, so we make them smaller and add a scale to ressemble what distances are necessary.

Hope this helps.
