The ability to taste the chemical PTC is determined in humans by a dominant allele T, with tasters having the genotypes Tt or TT

and non-tasters having tt. If you discover that 36 percent of the members of a population cannot taste PTC, then according to the Hardy-Weinberg rule, the frequency fo the T allele should be:
a. 0.4
b. 0.6
c. 0.64
d. 0.8

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The genotypic frequency for tt (q²) = 36% = 36/100 = 0.36

To calculate for the allelic frequency of t which is q, we have to find the square root of q² to do this. Thus

√q² = √0.36 = 0.6 this q = 0.6

The allelic frequency p for the T allele can then be calculated using this formula p + q = 1

Where q is 0.6 thus p= 1 - 0.6 = 0.4.

This the allelic freq of T is 0.4

What medical implications (connections) would arise from growing certified cultured beef in a laboratory?
dimaraw [331]

“Cultured” or in vitro meat is animal muscle tissue produced in a laboratory by using in vitro tissue engineering methods. It was produced by scientists who used stem cells harvested from a cow and grew thousands of muscle fiber strands packed together.

The advantages of such synthesized meat can be huge including environmental and health benefits. For example, this is a way to create forms of meat that are healthier, because of the ability to change the components of the meat, e.g. removing or adding fats. This form of meat production also provides higher control over the presence of food borne pathogens commonly found in meat.
