Answer:

The frequency of the s allele is 0.6, the frequency of the S allele is 0.4

SS frequency = 0.16 (16%)

Ss frequency = 0.48 (48%)

ss frequency = 0.36 (36%)

Explanation:

When there are two alleles of a gene in a population, the frequency of each allele = 1. That means that the sum of the frequencies of both alleles is 100%

p + q = 1

For our alleles, that means S + s = 1

For the 3 possible genotypes from 3 alleles,

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

For our genotypes, that means S² + 2 x S x s + s² = 1

Since we know that 36 people have the genotype ss, we can add that into our equation:

S² + 2 x S x s + 36 = 1

Therefore, to work out the value of s, we take the square root of 36 (\sqrt{36\\}) = 6.

Therefore s = 6, which we convert to 0.6 (because we are talking about frequencies not percentages)

Back to our initial equation

p + q = 1, so S + s = 1

We know s = 0.6, so

S + 0.6 = 1,

so S = 0.4

For the genotype frequencies

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

0.4² + 2 x 0.4 x 0.6 + 0.6² =1

0.16 + 0.48 + 0.36 = 1

p² is the SS frequency = 0.16

2pq is Ss frequency = 0.48

q² is ss frequency = 0.36

Which organ contain lots of vessicle ​
aksik [14]
The Golgi apparatus gathers simple molecules and combines them to make molecules that are more complex. It then takes those big molecules, packages them in vesicles, and either stores them for later use or sends them out of the cell. It is also the organelle that builds lysosomes (cell digestion machines).
