Answer:
The percentage of the population that is heterozygous for this trait is 48%
Explanation:
They are two alleles, the phenylthiocarbamide tasters (PTC) and the non phenylthiocarbamide tasters (non PTC). PTC testers are dominant and non PTC tasters are recessive.
let the frequency of the dominant allele(A) be p
and the frequency of the recessive allele(a) be q
We are told that 64 percent of people living in a remote, isolated mountain village can taste phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and must, therefore, have at least one copy of the dominant PTC taster allele (that is AA and Aa)
Frequency of AA = p², Frequency of Aa = 2pq and Frequency of aa = q²
Therefore p² + 2pq = 64% = 0.64
According to Hardy–Weinberg:
p² + 2pq + q² = 1 and
p + q = 1
Since p² + 2pq = 0.64
∴ 0.64 + q² = 1
q² = 1 - 0.64 = 0.36
q = √0.36 = 0.6
Since p + q = 1
p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4
The frequency of heterozygous = 2pq = 2 × 0.4 × 0.6 = 0.48
Therefore the percentage of the population that is heterozygous for this trait is 48%
The first one should be correct plz mark branliest!
Sorry the picture is not very clear can u reattach it??
Answer:
They became closer to each other.
Explanation:
When skeletal muscles contracts the Z lines that are at the end of every sarcomere became closer to each other due to the fact that the I bands that are attached to the Z lines and contains the myosin filaments move closer to each other interacting with the actin filaments and shorten the the H zone that is in the middle of the sarcomere. In other words, It all becomes compact during a contraction.
Most lightning events are intracloud (IC) or cloud to cloud (CC), occurring high in the atmosphere.
