Answer:

49 percent

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.

3.a An antibiotic is added to a large population of bacteria. Explain why not all bacteria die?
drek231 [11]

Answer: Antibiotic Resistant Mutation

Explanation: Not all of the bacteria die because there are individuals in the population that have an antibiotic resistant mutation, which causes them to be adapted to dealing with the antibiotic. There will be a large population of bacteria again because the ones with the mutation survive, reproduce, and pass the antibiotic resistance trait on.
