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.

A patient's HDL, LDL, and triglyceride levels are 62, 77, and 60, respectively. What is the patient's total cholesterol score? S
Len [333]

Answer:

Total cholesterol score is 199

199 is high cholesterol score especially as it very close to 200. The patient should adopt diets that do not include high cholesterol food

Explanation:

a. Firstly, we want to calculate the patient’s total cholesterol score.

To get this, we use a mathematical approach.

Mathematically;

the total cholesterol score = HDL + TDL + Triglyceride = 62 + 77 + 60 = 199

The patient’s total cholesterol score is 199

b. As a doctor, I will advice the patient on the status of these measurements. Using the scale of cholesterol level, a measurement of total cholesterol = 200 represents a high cholesterol level. Since 199 is very close to 200, the patient is at a risk of high cholesterol levels and thus needs a dietary change.
