White blood cells, also called leukocytes, are one of the cells that are involved in the body's immune system. They protect the body against various infections diseases and other invaders. Leukocytes are produced in the bone marrow (hematopoietic stem cells). They are not the only cells that are important for the defense of the body but are important.

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

Sophie [7]

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

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