<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

q = 80 percent

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

If a trait has two alleles, p and q, and p is 20% then we can find the percent of q.

According to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium;

p+q = 1

Therefore;

q = 1 - p

but; p = 20% or 0.2

Thus; q = 1 - 0.2

             = 0.8

The percent of q is 80%

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

<em>Endothermic reactions:  separation of solute molecules , separation of solvent molecules</em>

<em>Exothermic: formation of solute-solvent interactions</em>

Explanation:

An endothermic reaction can be described as a reaction which requires energy. Usually, the energy is taken in the form of heat from the environment. For example: the separation of solute and solvent molecules.

An exothermic reaction can be described as a reaction in which energy is released during a reaction. For example, a solute and a solvent reaction. Energy is usually released in the form of heat during an exothermic process.

In a population of heffalumps, there is a single gene that controls the presence of hair. The H allele, which is a complete domi
maksim [4K]
<h2>Frequency of allele </h2>

Explanation:

Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium is used to calculate the allelic as well as genotypic frequency

Allelic frequency of dominant and recessive allele is represented by p and q respectively whereas genotypic frequency of dominant genotype is represented by p2 and q2 respectively

Given:

H allele (p) = hairy heffalump (dominant)

h allele (q) = hairless heffalump (recessive)

36% of heffalump population is hairless represents the % of recessive genotype, hh (q2) =36%

Calculation of frequency of the h allele (q) :

Frequency of genotype hh (q2) will be: 36/100=0.36 or 0.6*0.6

Frequency of h allele (q) will be 0.6
