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 does the term "complementary" mean in base-pairing?
belka [17]

Answer:

From The School of Biomedical Sciences Wiki. Complementary base pairing is the phenomenon where in DNA guanine always hydrogen bonds to cytosine and adenine always binds to thymine. The bond between guanine and cytosine shares three hydrogen bonds compared to the A-T bond which always shares two hydrogen bonds.

Parland’s alligator population has been declining in recent years, primarily because of hunting. Alligators prey heavily on a sp
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

(C) The main predator of these fish is another species of fish on which alligators also prey.

Explanation:

The ecosystems are complex systems, and removing one species of them, always has a chain reaction and affects the population of the other species, be it in a positive or negative manner. In this case, the alligators prey upon fish, multiple different species. The alligators though have been removed from the ecosystem, thus the apex predator exists no more. This has opened up the top predator niche in the food chain in this particular ecosystem. The predatory fish species had no predators of its own, so its population increased, thus it needed more food, and that food was obtained by hunting the other fish species, resulting in a decline in the population of the other species of fish. Only when the carrying capacity is reached in the ecosystem for the predatory fish, the population of the other fish will stop declining.
