Sixty flowering plants are planted in a flowerbed. forty of the plants are red-flowering homozygous dominant. twenty of the plan

ts are white-flowering homozygous recessive. the plants naturally pollinate and reseed themselves for several years. in a subsequent year, 178 red-flowered plants, 190 pink-flowered plants, and 52 white-flowered plants are found in the flowerbed. use a chi-square analysis to determine if the population is in hardy-weinberg equilibrium

Answer:

The flowering population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.

Step by Step Explanation:

Total initial population size = 60

As both the populations are homozygous so the frequency of alleles will be,

P = 80/120= 0.66

q = 40/120= 0.33

The predicted frequencies for genotypes once the population has reached Hardy-Weinberg

p2 = 0.4356

2pq= 0.4356

q2 = 0.1089

The number of plants with each type of flower in a papulation of 420 is,

Homozygous dominant= 185

heterozygous= 185

Homozygous recessive= 50

Chi square analysis:

The observed values for red-flowered plants, pink-flowered plants, and white-flowered plants are not significantly different from the expected values predicted by Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.

Phenotype      observed(o)    expected (e)          (o-e)2/e

Red                        178                 185                       0.26

Pink                       190                 185                       0.135

White                     52                   50                     0.08

                                       chi-square = 0.474

With 2 degree of freedom this chi-square gives a p value of 0.7 - 0.8, which is not significant.

A combined sewer system carried___ to a sewage treatment plant. A. Household waste water B. Rain water C. Lawn run of D. All the
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

Sewers are connected to households and usually roads. When rain comes down, it goes down the drain in the road which leads to the sewers. The same thing happens with the answer C. A, household waste water, is connected to the sewers as well. So, since all three of these are correct, you would choose D.

Hope this helps.

Which structures are found in every living cell​
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

THE THREE MAIN COMPONENTS OF ANY PLANT OR ANIMAL CELL ARE:

1. PLASMA MEMBRANE/ CELL MEMBRANE

Structure- a bilipid membraneous layer composed of proteins and carbohydrates.  It is fluid like.

Function - the cell membrane separates the cell from its external environment, and is selectively permeable (controls what gets in and out).  It protects the cell and provides stability.

Proteins are found embedded within the plasma membrane, with some extending all the way through in order to transport materials.

Carbohydrates are attached to proteins and lipids on the outer lipid layer.
