In the kidneys, the countercurrent mechanism involves the interaction between the flow of filtrate through the loop of Henle of

the juxtamedullary nephrons (the countercurrent multiplier) and the flow of blood through the limbs of adjacent blood vessels (the countercurrent exchanger). This relationship establishes and maintains an osmotic gradient extending from the cortex through the depths of the medulla that allows the kidneys to vary urine concentration dramatically. (True/False)

In the term 2pq of the Hardy-Weinberg equation. Why is the multiplication by two necessary?
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The correct answer is : option B.

Explanation:

Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium is a mathematical model that states that genotype percentage or frequency in a population and allele in a population remains stable or constant to generations if there are no evolutionary influences present.

Hardy Weinberg equation is :

            P²+2pq+q² = 1

Here, p² represents the frequency of genotypes dominant homozygotes (AA) in a population in equilibrium. The term 2pq represents the frequency of heterozygotes (Aa)  as there are two ways of developing heterozygous individuals either dominant from the egg and recessive from sperm or vice versa. and the term q² represents the frequency of recessive homozygotes (aa).  

Thus, the correct answer is : option B.
