Answer:

49 percent

Explanation:

I got this question correct on the quiz.

Answer: 49%

Explanation:

* long hair = P

* shirt hair = q using the Hardy-Weinberg equation for genotypic frequencies

* p^2 + 2pq + q^2 =1

*first use the equation to solve for the known value 18% hh

.18 = q^2

Square root .18 = q

So q = .42

* plug this allelic frequency in to p+q = 1

Which will give you the frequency of dominant alleles

1 - .45 = p So P = .58

Then just plug the P and q values found into the portion of the equation for heterozygous offspring.

2(.58)(.42)

Which is .49 or 49%

The entire population should be 33% homozygous dominant 49% heterozygous and 18% homozygous recessive.

How to solve these questions
malfutka [58]

Answer:

(i) An allele is a variant of a gene, can either be short or tall.

Dominant = the tall allele that "trumps" the short allele. if a dominant and recessive allele is present (heterozygous) then the dominant phenotype will be shown.

(ii) David's eyes are Brown

(iii) Sarah's eyes are blue

(iv) David - B, b

Sarah - b, b

(v) Possible genotypes include Bb and bb. These give the phenotypes of brown eyes or blue eyes.

(vi) The chance for blue eyes is 50% (or 1:1 ratio)

Where is most of the co2 that has outgassed from earth’s volcanoes?
NARA [144]

Answer:

Locked up in rocks .

Explanation:

The volcano consists of the high melted lava that are present in the rupture of the earth's crust. The disturbances and movement in the tectonic plates might cause volcano eruption.

The volcanic eruption releases large amount of carbon dioxide, ash and harmful chemicals. The carbon dioxide that are erupted is locked in the rocks that are present on the earth's surface. The carbon dioxide is stored in the form of carbonates in the rock.

Thus, the answer is locked up in rocks .

Types of biofuels and their importance
Margaret [11]

Unlike other renewable energy sources, biomass can be converted directly into liquid fuels, called "biofuels," to help meet transportation fuel needs. The two most common types of biofuels in use today are ethanol and biodiesel, both of which represent the first generation of biofuel technology.
