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

What happens to the total charge of the compound after the ions bond together?
Maslowich
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>The overall or total charge becomes neutral, that is the total charge is Zero.</em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u>Ionic compounds are compounds composed of ions, charged particles that form when an atom gains or loses electrons.</u>  The charged particles are the positively charged ion known as cations and the negatively charged ion known as anions.
  • <u>The overall or the total charge for the ionic compound must be neutral. This means that the sum of the charges from the cations and anions should add up to zero.</u>

<em>Examples of a nonspecific external response to infectious agents and harmful bacteria are the following;</em>

Mucus, saliva, and tears.

They are nonspecific external responses that help to prevent pathogens from entering our bodies.

The specifics contain types of enzymes that break down the bacterial cell walls. An external response of Mucus tends to trap pathogens as well.

ratelena [41]

Tears and mucous membrane are part of the General defense system. The General defense system of the body consists of the skin, clotting, sweat glands, lysozyme, mucous membranes, nasal hairs, cilia, hydrolic acids, and the vagina. General defense systems have a vital role in giving barriers to stop bacteria in entering our body which will make us sick.
