Answer:

Number of heterozygous population 64

Explanation:

Given data:

Total population of chicken 200

Number of chicken having  featherless legs 128, that represent q2 (as they are homozygous recessive)

Total number of chickens = 200

Therefore, the value of q^2 = \frac{128}{200} = 0.64

q^2 = 0.64

so q = 0.8, and

p = 1 - q

   = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2

The frequency of2pq = 2 \times  0.8 \times 0.2 = 0.32

Therefore, Number of heterozygous population= 0.32 \times  200 = 64

Explain how our expectations, contexts, emotions, and motivation influence our perceptions.
sweet [91]
<span>Perception is the way our brain interprets the information we acquire through our senses; sight, smell or touch for example. Being a subjective interpretation this is influenced by several higher cortical functions, such as expectations or motivation that we have, that is, we hope to perceive or because we expect a certain perception. <span>For example, it is not the same to drink a beverage whose flavor we already knew, to drink a new flavor, we tend to perceive better a new flavor and to compare it with schemes that we had previously.

</span><span>Emotions influence our perception because the </span></span><span><span><span><span>mood</span></span> determines how we will interpret what we are perceiving, for example, if we are angry and suddenly we hear a criticism, we may interpret it differently than if we heard it with another state of mind.

</span><span>Finally, the context influences the perception by giving a referential frame to what we perceive or influence physiologically, for example, the sensation of drinking water in the desert or on a mountain, we perceive it differently.</span></span>
