Assumptions:
1. Equilibrium has been reached for the allele proportions
2. Absence of <span>evolutionary influences such as </span>mate choice<span>, </span>mutation<span>, </span>selection<span>, </span>genetic drift<span>, </span>gene flow<span> and </span>meiotic drive<span>.

Defining L=long stem, l=short stem, and L is dominant over l.
f(x) = frequency of allele x (expressed as a fraction of population)
Then the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium law applies:
p^2+2pq+q^2=1
where
f(LL)=p^2
f(Ll)=2pq
f(ll)=q^2
Given f(ll)=0.35=q^2, we have
q=sqrt(0.35)=0.591608
p=1-q=0.408392
=>
f(Ll)
=2pq
=2*0.408392*0.591608=0.483216
= proportion of heterozygous population
Answer: percentage of heterozygous population is 48.32%
Answer:
<h2>2. Peter's maternal grandfather has PKU.</h2>
Explanation:
- Such type of the genetic disorder in which two copies of a gene must be mutated at a time is called autosomal recessive disorder such as sickle cell anemia, phenylketonuria, and some other diseases.
- When a sing copy of a gene is mutated in a person then this disorder is not appeared and the person is called a carrier.
- So when a child is born by two carrier parents then there is a chance that a child will be affected if both the parents donate mutated genes.
- In the case of Peter, since peter does not show this defect this means his maternal grandfather was affected by this disorder.
Water enters the soil in a process called infiltration, and then moves downward through the soil in a process called percolation.
Answer:
Offspring,
Explanation:
Offspring a person's child or children:
"the offspring of middle-class parents"
The correct answer to this question is this one: a.) bottleneck effect. Increased poaching nearly led to the extinction of the American bison. The kind of effect that does this example represent is called the bottleneck effect. Hope this helps answer your question.
