A new kind of tulip is produced that develops only purple or pink flowers. Assume that flower color is controlled by a single-ge

ne locus, and that the purple allele (C) is dominant to the pink allele (c). A random sample of 1000 tulips from a large cultivated field yields 847 purple flowers, and 153 pink flowers.
a. Determine the frequency of the purple and pink alleles in this field population.
b. Estimate the proportion of all purple flowering plants that are heterozygotes and homozygotes.
a. purple allele (C) = 0.609, pink allele (c) = 0.391
b. purple homozygotes = 371, pink homozygotes = 153, heterozygotes = 476

Answer:

a. purple allele (C) = 0.609, pink allele (c) = 0.391

b. purple homozygotes = 371, purple heterozygotes = 476

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium:

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where, p = frequency of dominant allele

q = frequency of recessive allele

p² = frequency of dominant homozygous genotype

2pq = frequency of heterozygous genotype

q² = frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

a. Assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,

frequency of pink flowers (cc) = q² = 153/1000 = 0.153

frequency of pink allele c = q = √0.153 = 0.391

p + q = 1 where p = frequency of dominant allele

So, frequency of purple allele C = p = 1-0.391 = 0.609

b. Purple homozygotes = CC = p² * total population =

(0.609)² * 1000 = 370.88 = 371

Purple heterozygotes = Cc = 2pq * total population =

2 * 0.609 * 0.391 * 1000 = 476.23 = 476

Answer:

a. purple allele (C) = 0.609, pink allele (c) = 0.391

b. purple homozygotes = 371, pink homozygotes = 153, heterozygotes = 476

Explanation:

Given -

Purple flowers - 847

Pink flowers - 153

The frequency of recessive genotype i.e

q^ 2 = \frac{153}{1000} \\q^ 2 = 0.153\\

Frequency of recessive allele i.e q is equal to

q = \sqrt{0.153} \\q = 0.391

As per hardy Weinberg's first equilibrium equation -

p + q = 1\\p = 1-q\\p = 1-0.391\\p = 0.609

Frequency of purple homozygous species

= p^2\\= 0.609^2\\= 0.371

Number of purple homozygous species = 0.371 * 1000= 371

Number of pink homozygous species = 0.153 * 1000= 153

Heterozygous species is equal to

(1-0.371-0.153)* 1000\\= 0.476 * 1000\\= 476

Explain the connection between the beginning of life and the universal genetic code
GaryK [48]

The connection between the beginning of life and the universal genetic code is that they all started with a simple one celled molecule. The Universal genetic code is a common language for almost all organisms to translate nucleotide sequence of deoxyribonucleic acid that is DNA and ribonucleic acid that is RNA to amino acid sequences of proteins. All living Organisms have a genetic code generally represented by the sequence of nucleotides in their DNA.

Describe and explain how blood flows from the foot to the lungs.
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

lungs:

The blood first enters the right atrium.

The blood then flows through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle.

When the heart beats, the ventricle pushes blood through the pulmonic valve into the pulmonary artery.

The pulmonary artery carries blood to the lungs where it “picks up” oxygen.

It then leaves the lungs to return to the heart through the pulmonary vein.

The blood enters the left atrium.

It drops through the mitral valve into the left ventricle.

The left ventricle then pumps blood through the aortic valve and into the aorta. The aorta is the artery that feeds the rest of the body through a system of blood vessels.

Blood returns to the heart from the body via two large blood vessels called the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava. This blood carries little oxygen, as it is returning from the body where oxygen was used.

The vena cavas pump blood into the right atrium and the cycle begins all over again.

Which process occurs in the structures that are labeled X?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The process that occurs in the structures marked with X is the Krebs cycle (last option).

Explanation:

The Krebs cycle is a process by which energy in the form of ATP is produced from pyruvate molecules obtained by transformation of glucose, which occurs in the mitochondria, marked with X in the diagram (see image).

The mitochondria is a specialized organelle, whose function is the production of energy within the cell. It has a membrane on the outside that allows the passage of proteins, energetic substrate and ions, and inside it crests are formed where the energetic synthesis takes place.
