Assumptions:

Defining L=long stem, l=short stem, and L is dominant over l.
f(x) = frequency of allele x (expressed as a fraction of population)
Then the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium law applies:
p^2+2pq+q^2=1
where
f(LL)=p^2
f(Ll)=2pq
f(ll)=q^2
Given f(ll)=0.35=q^2, we have
q=sqrt(0.35)=0.591608
p=1-q=0.408392
=>
f(Ll)
=2pq
=2*0.408392*0.591608=0.483216
= proportion of heterozygous population
Answer: percentage of heterozygous population is 48.32%
Answer: D
Explanation: The consumption of fish especially the small fish e.g shellfish is by far the most significant source of ingestion-related mercury exposure in humans and animals.
The answer is Echinoderms.
According to the Embryological studies, the most ancient chordates were closely related to the ancestors of the echinoderms. Echinoderms are members of the group Phylum Echinodermata of marine animals. Some known echinoderms are starfish, and sea cucumbers.
Answer:
75% brown, 25% white
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for color in chickens. The allele for brown color (B) is dominant over the allele for white color (b).
According to this question, a brown rooter with genotype 'BB' was crossed with a white hen (bb). The offsprings in the F1 generation will all possess the 'Bb' genotype and be brown colored. However, if these F1 offsprings are self-mated i.e Bb × Bb, the proportion of F2 offsprings will be 1BB, 2Bb, 1bb.
Since BB, Bb and Bb offsprings are Brown in color and bb is white in color, this means that the expected phenotypic appearance of the F2 offsprings will be:
¾ or 75% brown and ¼ or 25% white
Answer: Just did the lesson on this, the answer is C.
Explanation:An allele is one of the possible forms of a gene. Most genes have two alleles, a dominant allele and a recessive allele. If an organism is heterozygous for that trait, or possesses one of each allele, then the dominant trait is expressed. ... So a gene is a particular region of your DNA that controls a specific trait.
