Researchers studying a small milkweed population note that some plants produce a toxin and other plants do not. They identify th

e gene responsible for toxin production. The dominant allele (T) codes for an enzyme that makes the toxin, and the recessive allele (t) codes for a nonfunctional enzyme that cannot produce the toxin. Heterozygotes produce an intermediate amount of toxin. The genotypes of all individuals in the population are determined (TT = 0.56; Tt = 0.28; tt = 0.16) and used to determine the actual allele frequencies in the population. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Calculate the T and t.
I already know the answer is "No, there are more homozygotes than expected", but I do not understand how to find this answer. SHOW WORK.

Answer:

when doing this dont square p or q b/c (p^2) represents homozygous frequency already same thing for q and 2pq (dont need to multiply by 2)

also to do p + q = 1

take the square root of the genotype frequencies THEN add them, if greater than one does not meet equlibrium b/c more HOMOZYGOTES than expected

as in this case

No; there are more homozygotes than expected.

How do dogs and birds both use DNA as instructions for building their bodies even though they are very different organisms

zlopas [31]

Answer:

The autosomal trait are present on the autosomes and does not have any influence on the sex of the organism. Two main types of autosomal trait are autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive trait.

a. The trait discussed in the question must be the autosomal dominant trait. As the normal and affected children are produced by the affected parents cross. The appearance of the normal child determines that the trait is dominant.

b. Since both the parent are affected but the normal child has been produced from the cross. The parents must be heterozygotes for the trait, (Aa). Their cross will produce the progeny AA, Aa and Aa (affected) and aa (normal).
