A population of lab rats recently escaped into the sewer system of Washington, D.C. A brave researcher sampled this population a

nd estimated the following phenotypic frequencies, which were caused by a single gene with two alleles: E and e. 61% normal eyes (EE) 26% cross-eyed (Ee) 13% blind (ee) a) If this population were to reach a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) in one generation, what would the phenotypic frequencies be in that new HWE generation

Answer:

the population has a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

Explanation:

According to the case and the information given, the genotype frequencies are:

EE (p2) = 0.61

Ee (2pq) = 0.26

ee (q2) = 0.13

To obtain the allele frequencies we can perform the following equation

Frequency of E = p = p2 + 1/2 (2pq) = 0.61 + 1/2 (0.26) = 0.61+ 0.13 = 0.74

replacing the data we obtain:

Frequency of e = q = 1- p = 1 - 0.74 = 0.26

Regarding the expected frequencies of the genotype, taking into account that there is a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium:

EE (p2) = (0.74) 2 = 0.547

Ee (2pq) = 2 × (0.74) (0.26) = 0.384

ee (q2) = (0.26) 2 = 0.067

We know that: (p² + 2pq + q² = 1)

replacing with the obtained data:

0.547 + 0.384 + 0.067 = 0.998 ~ 1

finally we can affirm that the population has a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

Jonathan used the following soil triangle to identify a sample of soil as sandy clay.
sineoko [7]

The description of soil according to Jonathan is as follows:

  • Mostly large grains, with a gritty texture, 45% sand, 5% clay, and 45% silt ---- Silty loam soil.
  • Mostly large grains, with a sticky texture, 55% sand, 40% clay, and 5% silt ----- Sandy clay soil.
  • Mostly small grains, with a sticky texture, 30% sand, 50% clay, and 20% silt ----- Clay soil.
  • Mostly small grains, with a smooth texture, 30% sand, 5% clay, and 65% silt ----- Silty loam soil.

<h3>What is Soil Texture?</h3>

Soil texture may be defined as a classification of soil on the basis of its physical appearance, texture, and properties.

In this question, the texture and composition of other soil are illustrated briefly with respect to each common soil type.

Therefore, it is well described above.
